Transforming Nazareth’s "Love Hurts" into Péter K’s Comical "Leg Hurts"
Sometimes, creativity strikes at the oddest moments. For Péter K., breaking his leg and being on painkillers led to a surprising bout of creativity. 🎶 While probably high on painkillers, Péter decided to have some fun with Nazareth’s classic Love Hurts by changing the lyrics entirely. Comically renaming it Leg Hurts, he crafted new lyrics that hilariously reflected his predicament.
"I broke my leg and was probably high on painkillers, so I wrote the replacement lyrics, attached. Just try to make it as close to the original as possible."
Péter reached out to Music Made Pro with his new lyrics, and our team was happy to help. We provided him with a full 4-minute track in the original singer’s voice, but with lyrics tailor-made just for him.
After a quick turnaround, Péter received his files a bit early. He found them in this shared folder.
"Thank you for the quick turnaround, and the good wishes! I'll give it a listen, then get back to you if any modifications are needed."
Gave it a listen, and with only a couple of minor adjustments needed. Péter requested clarifications at specific timestamps because "Leg" sounded like "Heg". Our team quickly fixed it and updated the shared folder.
And voila! Péter was left delighted, enjoying his funny and personal version of Love Hurts in just a couple of days.
