What it is and what it should never be

Ever wonder how Led Zeppelin or The Who got their names? Are you a fan of Steve Miller Band? Know the name of 50 Cent's half brother? All of these answers and more can be found on www.Amiright.com. This website is all about the music.

Amiright is a funny music website that specializes in anything from strange and funny news in music to misheard song lyrics. Fun quotes such as, "John's just jealous because I'm the brains of the group. I've written all the songs, even from the beginning when I wasn't in the group," said by Sid Vicious of The Sex Pistols.

AmIright is full of misheard lyrics. Have you ever heard Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen on the radio and heard something along the lines of' "Ashawww," "Be still ah," or "Barmitzfah," in the song lyrics? If you thought that those lyrics were misheard then you are correct! Queen is only saying "Bismilliah" in every verse. There are many times when a song is heard and the lyrics either seem to make no sense or seem to be vastly inappropriate. On Amiright those crazy and seemingly incorrect lyrics can be checked for accuracy. If those nonsensical words do appear right below will be the correct lyrics. As far as music trivia goes, Amiright is full of interesting facts. "Jet Airliner" by Steve Miller Band was actually banned from a few radio stations back in the day and the ones that did play the song changed "And I don't want to get caught up in no funky s**t going down in the city." The profane language was replaced by the word kicks. Watch out Weird Al! On Amiright users can submit their own song parodies featuring their favorite songs. There are also a few from Weird Al and other similar artists. The song featured this month is called "I'm Tasteless" which is a remake of "Outrageous" by Britney Spears. These also tasteless lyrics are as follows, "I'm tasteless--My hair is all flaky, I'm tasteless, I'm tasteless in size eighteen jeans, I'm tasteless though, I'm a size eighty, I'm tasteless Lined my eyes, I'm tasteless with neon green, I'm tasteless I'm popping my pores, I'm tasteless all on your floor." After reading this one could be unsure whether Britney fans should be more upset by these lyrics or this user's mom after seeing how much time their kid has on their hands. The more the website is explored the more random things you find such as naming an album cover when the band's name is removed or anagrams and word play with band names and song titles. Amiright is fun to kill time during class or if there a music parody that a user is dying to get published. And for 50's brother, his name is 25 Cent.
