Here's a post I did in another thread
"I just wanted to say that I don't usually have a problem understanding musical theatre lyrics, but I can't listen to a pop song on LITE FM without struggling to figure out at least a few phrases in each song. Sometimes, I honestly thought that singers were saying something really dirty when they were actually saying something totally different."

"In that one song when the guy sings (descriptive hey?) "To pave paradise to put up a parking lot" I always thought that he said "To pave paradise to put up a f**k in life" which also made sense, I just couldn't figure out why they didn't need to censor it for the radio."
That was actually the song that caused me to post that. I thought he was saying "This ain't paradise, so put up with f**king love". Thank you for clearing it up.
