The Vox Box

“Scallaboosh, Scallaboosh, will you do the banned tango…”

A lot of work has been put into this site...  "Kiss this guy," an archive of misheard lyrics.

It's priceless.  You can see the real lyrics, and even hear them. 

My personal favorite is the Robert Palmer lyric currently listed as "funniest of the year" on the home page.

Last week, my daughter was singing, "Dancing queen...  fresh and clean on the tramp-o-line..."  But she's three. 

QUESTION:  What is your favorite misheard lyric?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
