Book Reviews of Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza: And Other Misheard Lyrics

Book Review: Just OK
Summary: 2 Stars

I was excited to buy this book, and related titles, because my wife is constantly mishearing lyrics. It was disappointing to find that the 'misheard' lyrics were seemingly silly submissions by people looking for a laugh (or at least that's my impression). Some of the 'misheard' lyrics are for songs that are so easily understood, one has to wonder if the person who misheard the lyrics was listening to them on AM radio wile mowing the lawn. I expected to get more "Louie Louie" type misheard lyrics (where the singer is unintelligible) but instead you get silly substitions for words. I found it hard to believe that people really heard the lyrics this way. After finding out that the lyrics were submissions to the author, I had to wonder if they were really misheard, or just people seeing how creative they could be. However, all said, the price good and I did get a few laughs. I'll pass it on to someone else when I'm done.

Summary of Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza: And Other Misheard Lyrics

We've all done it ? misheard a song lyric and sung along with the wrong words for months or years before being corrected. Whether you heard "Even if you're Ted Danson in the dark," instead of "Even if we're just dancin' in the dark," or confused "Jamie's out of gum" with "Janie's got a gun," this book is an ode to faulty hearing and mumbled lyrics everywhere. The artists presented here vary from pop idols Britney Spears, Billy Joel, and the Backstreet Boys to hard rockers like Def Leppard to urban groups such as Destiny's Child and Black Eyed Peas. Including parodies, fantasy duets, potential commercial soundtracks, and humorous tidbits, this book is perfect for both trivia lovers and those in search of a laugh.
