Misquoted Lyrical Sweaters

This Lyrical Sweater Intentionally Messes Up Elton John's Lyrics

This lyrical sweater by Cakeworthy pokes fun at one of the most misheard and misquoted songs of the century: of course I'm talking about Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer.'

While the original lyric goes "hold me closer tiny dancer," more often than not, folks hear something closer to "hold me close young Tony Danza." I mean, not to disrespect the great Mr. Elton John, but the misheard lyrics are pretty great. Have you seen young Tony Danza? The man was smokin'! Go turn on some re-runs of 'Who's the Boss' right now and appreciate that fine Italian Stallion.

If you want to keep misquoting Elton John, who am I to stop you? Keep cozy (and amused) in this hilarious sweater.
