[Mean_Street]

i am wondering why everyone calls "MEAN STREET", MEAN STREETS?

The same reason misspell Randy Rhoads' last name "Rhodes", misspell Lynyrd Skynyrd, Def Leppard, and Led Zeppelin; they're careless morons. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Seriously, I think it's because of Martin Scorsese's famous 1973 film "Mean Streets". Once you get a title in your head, it's hard to get it out when something slightly different comes along. Kind of like in 1992, for a brief period I got the titles of Metallica's "The Unforgiven" and Clint Eastwood's movie "Unforgiven" mixed up.

It happens all the time...
Jamie's Crying instead of Jamies Cryin'
Girl You Really Got Me Now instead of You Really Got Me
Running With The Devil instead of Runnin'
Finish What You Started instead of What Ya

The Billy Sheehan band Niacin did a cover of Mean Street and they called it Mean Streets as well. Some people just aren't very perceptive.

It's actually Jamie's Cryin'

Little White Lie is like that too. I've seen a lot of people call it Little White Lies.
