One might get some ideas from the following book " 'Scuse
Me While I Kiss This Guy!" about misunderstood song lyrics;
see:

There are similar books listed on the Amazon site.

"The only problem is that song has been wildly popular since it was
featured in the movie "Pitch Perfect" (where they sang in glee-club
style
and the lyrics are more easily decipherable). I love the concept,
though,
because I'm always messing up the lyrics to songs."
Geez, she's way too "hip" for my current musical knowledge. But I
suggested that it could be done when a brand-new song comes out, or even
an
older one like "Louie, Louie." Remember everyone claiming they "knew"
what
the "real" words were?? This generation would be unlikely to have heard
it...

What do you think of this idea for a simple psych experiment: we all
know
how hard it is at times to understand the lyrics of a song, however,
it can
be easier to understand the lyrics when we know the title of the song
or
the context of the song (the song is about “love" or the song is about
“Loss”, etc.). Since my kids force me to listen to their music over
and
over again, here’s a song in which the lyrics (to me at least) are
nearly
impossible to understand. I had to “google” them to figure it out -
it’s
called “Titanium”.
