Today, CDs of different artists usually come with a lyric sheet. If there's none, we could always rely on the internet to search for it. But do you remember the time when we all rely on (cheap) songhits for the lyrics of the songs when in fact, they were so many boo-boos in it? Perhaps, those who wrote the lyrics only rely on their eardrums just so they could write down the lyrics, as well. Cassettes pa uso nun at walang lyric sheet na kasama. I remember that I used to play, stop, write, play, stop, write just so I could get the lyrics.
Anyway, here are some of the murdered lyrics of different songs that came from a PEx forum:
The Greatest Love of All: "I believe the children or (are) our future..."
(Can't decide on what to believe in, eh?!)
Seasons in the Sun: "We had joy, we had fun, we had seashells in the sand (seasons in the sun)..."

(Oh my god!)
To end this, I have to put this one in its entirety:
Ah, i remember this one time... I was buying something, the girl infront of me began singing Celine Dion's All Coming Back To Me...
"Baby, baby, babeeee..."
Wow, ganda ng boses...
"It's something like this. If it's something like that...."
Wow! Labo... If it's something like what ba??? Hehe...
(That is, "If I kiss you like this... And if you whisper like that")
