Stop the catbox! Stop the catbox!

I have always found screwed up versions of lyrics to be terribly funny. They even have one of those little daily calendars, you know, where you rip off a sheet every day and there's a new quote or comic or whatever, only with this one, with every day there's a new lyrical fuck up.

RIOTOUS, I tell you. Simply hysterical. <3(3.14)

So then I got to thinking - why not just make up your own screwed up lyrics even when you know the real ones? I thought it might be sorta fun.

So I took the lyrics to some of my favorite songs and I jacked them all up. Why? Because I can, bitch.

Oh, and also because I saw on the news tonight that some whackjob shot his whole fuckin' family and then later today some other whackjob stabbed a 2 week old baby in the head a bunch of times, so I needed to make myself laugh.

*note: The actual track listing for this song on the album is "Since U Been Gone." However, I am highly opposed to stupid abbreviations like that, whether in emails or song titles.

I love you, Kelly Clarkson. But there are some things I just won't do.
