Neil Young sings Fresh Prince

Jimmy Fallon does a mean and very accurate Neil Young!

Shocking video proof that the King of Pop faked his own death.

Pinky Cubans

For years now, when we listened to the 1994 Morrissey hit single “Now My Heart Is Full”, I thought the song’s refrain referred to “Pinky Cubans”. I was saddened to recently find out that alas, the line is “Pinkie, Cubitt”, referring to characters in Graham Greene‘s novel Brighton Rock.

Apparently misheard lyrics are a cottage industry, as a website called “Kiss This Guy”, has a huge database of them.

What are your favorite misheard lyrics? Leave them in the comments…

Brüno vs. Eminem

In case you missed it, Sacha Baron Cohen‘s character Bruno the (presumed) gay Austrian fashion reporter, has a maniacally close encounter with rapper Eminem on the MTV Movie Awards – which lead to Eminem “walking out” of the award show.

Staged or not, hysterical.
