Misheard Lyrics Are Sometimes Better Than The Original

During high school, we all go through weird fads/interests that mold us or cause us to shamefully regret ourselves years down the road. Whether cut off jeans were your thing... or maybe big bangs and ratted hair... or maybe wearing Jyncos... or possibly even Mullets and Mustaches. Well in full disclosure, I was somewhat follicly challenged so the Mullet and Mustache was a no go and I didn't have the thighs for cut off jeans. This left me with the only logical fad which was a weird interest in musicals, that is correct I thrived on "Getting my Head in the Game"(High School Musical) and introducing myself as one of the "Nicest Kids in Town"(Hairspray) . (I just noticed that both of those shows oddly star Zac Efron which has no relation or influence on my interest in musicals).

Maybe if I had watched more Grease and Newsies I could have learned some charm from the T-Birds or a young Christian Bale and actually gone on dates in high school. Who doesn't remember the smoothness of Kenickie... "A Hickie from Kenickie is like a Hallmark card!" or the courage of Jack Kelly as he "Opened the Gates and Seized the Day". The underlying reason I enjoyed musicals was because regardless of the situation anyone could break out into a random song that didn't always make sense but as Will Ferrell famously said "It Gets the People Going"!! Musicals make you just want to get up and dance and occasionally even bust out into song.

This interest in musicals has come and gone just like your old cut offs and Hammer pants but what remains with me is the desire to bust out into random singing. To this day I make up lyrics to popular songs and just sing them at the least opportune times and my poor wife has to suffer through it. My motto is life is a musical so why don't we just start singing every chance we get and "Get the People Going". Ever since I have become a parent I have made up multiple songs and sang them at our kids which has often lead to crying and tears (Mostly from my wife). Due to the fact that these songs are better shown than simply typed I have created GIFs to accompany a few of the songs I have sang recently. With every post that I do... I apologize in advance but hope you enjoy a little glimpse into the sad life my wife and kids are experiencing!


Michael Jackson: Bad

"I'm Dad... I'm Dad... I'm really really Dad, You know I'm Dad... I'm Dad... I'm really really Dad, and the whole family has to answer right now just to tell you once again... whose Dad?"

NSync: Bye Bye Bye

"I wanna see you on the floor. Baby, Cry... Cry... Cry..."

DJ Khaled: All I Do Is Win

"All I do is Twin, Twin, Twin no matter what! Got Mommy on my mind I can never give her up!!"

Eiffel 65: Blue (Da Ba Dee)

"Lines Blue Da Ba Dee Da Ba Dee which means full of the Pee, Da Ba Dee Da Ba Doo don't forget about the Poo!"

Silento: Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) 

"Now watch me Wipe, Wipe...

...Now watch me Spray, Spray!!"

21 Pilots: Heathens

"All my kids are Teethin make it stop... Please don't change any sudden moods, I only see half of the tooth!"

Feel free to share my ridiculousness with anyone you wish, I hope you enjoyed it and next time you are doing monotonous things around the house I encourage you to bust into song. It will improve even the worst days, if not for you for everyone watching you!!
