From the AV Club

1. U2, "Pride (In The Name Of Love)"

It's probably difficult to work the assassination of a civil-rights leader into a songbut if anyone can do it, Bono can! Unfortunately, he fudges the facts a bit in the last chorus of this song, when he sings about the killing of Martin Luther King Jr., "Early morning, April 4 / Shot rings out in the Memphis sky." King was actually shot on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel at 6:01 p.m., which makes Bono off by about 10 hours. But he did get the date and the city right. Oh, and the pride part. Which isn't bad for a Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

Can you imagine how long the list would be if they listed songs with bad grammar?

I love the Postal Service song Nothing Better which has the best wrong sports metaphor.

I can't accept that it's over
and I will block the door
like a goalie attending the net
in the third quarter
of a tied game rivalry

I think though, its not a mistake, any geeky emo guy like him would be able to figure out the math even if they didnt know its periods.

When Mick sees a red door, he actually wants to paint it yellow.

Actually, two and a half years had passed since Sting wrote his note.

Glenn did not really want to go out and kill that night, he wanted to stay in and watch "Night Court."

Factual? A semi-famous physicist in the UK got Katie Melua to re-record her song:

For millions of listeners across the world, the enchanting lyrics proved an instant hit. But for one physicist, some of the lyrics of Katie Melua's single Nine Million Bicycles was light years away from fact - and something had to be done.

Simon Singh took issue with the second verse of the song which stated that, at a "guess", the edge of the universe was "12 billion light years away".

Now, after publicly correcting her statistical error, the 21-year-old musician agreed to re-record the track, changing the lyric to the more factual 13.7 billion light years. Mr Singh, 41, who has recently written a book on the history of cosmology called Big Bang, described the flaw as "deeply annoying"

Parker Brothers actually lists The Jungle as it's lowest volume market. Therefor, in the Jungle, they may have fun, but if you are looking for games, you're going to be sadly disappointed. Shame on you Axl Rose, tsk tsk.

On a related note, the girth of a woman's bottom has no effect on the rotation of the earth, rockin' or not.
