This site was created as a spinoff of my 80s website . I was receiving a bunch of requests to ID various songs on my 80s site, and usually the lyrics sent to me were incorrect. I thought it would be a fun idea to post the incorrect lyrics and see if anyone else had similar experiences. The response rate got to a point where I thought it would do well as a separate site. I also feature song parodies submitted to me by site visitors, since it seemed a natural fit for the website.
Song parodies are intentional murder of song lyrics, where-as misheard lyrics are unintentional.
The secondary goal of the site is to help foster an environment for amateur parody writers to help improve their craft. If you want to know more about the site, check the About Us page.
