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…

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.

If you miss us here, you can always catch us on Twitter (all the rage with the kids) where our recent tweet about Jane’s Addiction using a teleprompter was picked up by The Daily Swarm, and has since gone mega…

The Howard Stern Show’s producer, the infamous Gary ‘BaBa Booey’ Dell’Abate recently had the chance to throw out the first pitch at a New York Mets game, with predictably hysterical results. Sadly, this pitch is already being talked about in some circles as the worst first pitch ever.

Good work! Bucky Turco landed the exclusives of exclusives, photographing and interviewing the infamous Kari Ferrell, she of “Hipster Grifter” fame (also seen in Gawker, Salt Lake City’s Most Wanted, Vice Magazine, etc).

Coaxing not only a video confession where Kari admits to past wrongs, but also an odd photoshoot, where Kari poses with traffic cones, websites, and flat screens – all while wearing the lastest in Married to the Mob finery.

Really, and the price for world’s cheapest gas may be going up.

(At 12¢ a gallon, Venezuelan gas costs about 30 times less than bottled water.)
