TAG: two princes

• misheard lyrics

  I know what a prison lover ought to be

  Spin Doctors had their 15 minutes of fame back in the early 90’s with their two big hits, Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong and Two Princes. I still hear Two Princes quite often on the radio, and I always think of Matt’s and my alternate lyrics for the chorus.

  For those who don’t know, Chris Barron sings, “I know what a prince and lover ought to be”, but he sings the line so damn fast that it sounds like he says, “I know what a prison lover ought to be”. We prefer this line because, well, it sounds funnier that way.

  Go ahead. Listen to it. Tell us we’re wrong.
