Quizzical -- Completed!

Just for a bit of fun, the following is a collection of misheard lyrics. What I'd like you to do is comment with the title, artist and the correct line for each of them. After the mishap that was the translated lyrics meme, this is all just filtered through the somewhat lacking ears of the average listener. The ten songs are all from my Winamp playlist, if you're after special inspiration to play with your own flist.

2. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2 (guessed by captainsblog)

Well, I don't ever expect anyone to have heard any TMBG songs, and as for Nirvana... it was pretty unescapeable in America in the 90's, but I don't know how much of the whole grunge thing the rest of the world heard. I can post either one of you'd like to hear them (though the lines I mishear really don't sound a thing like what my brain turns them into).

I don't know why it would be conceptual science, other than that the video for the song is very odd and involves synchronized jumping. The other thing I thought it was at one point was "perpetual silence"... considering that it's part of a song, that makes even less sense.

Synchronised jumping? That is odd. Very odd.

Very, very odd.
