The Website “Am I Right”
“Am I right” is a website created by Charles R. Grosvenor Jr. It is dedicated to music and humor.
You can find in “Am I right” song parodies, album cover parodies, and misheard lyrics.
About the creator of “Am I right.”
Charles R. Grosvenor Jr., also known as Chuky G, was born on July 7, 1972. He currently works as a web developer.
He has been developing websites in his free time since 1995. His biggest site, InThe80s.Com, was founded in 1995.
It receives over 60,000 page views daily. InThe70s.Com and InThe90s.Com websites were started to cover the pop history of the last thirty years.
Worcestermass.Com is a local site that I started in order to focus on the history of Worcester, MA.
“I am a big fan of misheard lyrics and song parodies. I have been listening to and collecting music since I was a little kid. I also love silly sitcoms and comedies, so this site is just a natural evolution of all my favorite aspects of pop culture.
I first started collecting these on my 80s site in 1996. It got to a point in the fall of 1999 where it was just a lot of work though. I decided to revamp the design of the site and make things easier to maintain. When I got to thinking about it, though, I had many things I wanted to do with the misheard lyrics. Since I already owned a domain I was not using, I thought it would be a good idea to put it to good use,” says Chucky G.
Charles R. Grosvenor said that he had a small collection of song parodies, too, and he thought it would be a good fit for the website “Am I right,” so I moved that archive there as well.
Then he started adding different sections that are related to making fun of music in general.
Sections of the Website “Am I right”:
Misheard lyrics
The visitors of the website have to submit misheard lyrics, aka “mondegreens,” to the site; they are displayed along with the right lyrics.
Comedy recordings
Here you can find recorded performances of parodies or other musical comedy pieces. “Am I right” is an index of other sites that contain recordings, because it does not host the files.
Album cover parodies
Album cover parody section lets people humorously edit an album cover from an original album, using Amazon to use metadata and original scrapbooks that users can edit and submit to the site.
Music trivia
The section called Music trivia contains strange and funny facts about various songs and artists.
Names
Here you can find information about band name origins, pseudonyms, song and band name parodies, user-created band names, inappropriate soundtrack selections, proposed duets, inappropriate songs to play while on hold, adding, removing, or changing letters from titles to create new titles, lyrics that are literally impossible, and the use of song titles as questions and answers.
Real lyrics
This section contains lyrics that fit specific categories, like “Misrhymed,” “Dirty,” or “Insincere.”
The Song, “Am I Right?”
“Am I Right?” is a synth-pop ballad written by an English synth-pop duo members: singer and songwriter Andy Bell and songwriter and keyboardist Vince Clarke.
The band formed in London in 1985.
The song “Am I right?” reviews the feelings of the main hero who is wandering through the city streets after a romantic separation, while his lover contemplates if they are really in love and want to return the relationship or not.
