A girl with colitis goes by…
March 29, 2012 § 4 Comments
In the early days of the web, Am I Right was one of the funniest sites there was: a database of misheard lyrics. The misunderstanding of the psychedelic Beatles lyrics “A girl with kaleidoscope eyes” with the absurdist “A girl with colitis goes by” is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

So, which will go first, rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity?
