"Misunderstood" is a song by the American hard rock band Mötley Crüe, released on their 1994 eponymous album. The lyrics were written by vocalist/guitarist John Corabi and bassist Nikki Sixx, while the music was written by Corbai, Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist Mick Mars.
"Misunderstood" was released as a Maxi-single that included three other tracks; a remix of the song, "Hooligan's Holiday" (Extended Holiday Version), the (then) unreleased track "Hypnotised," and the album version of "Hooligan's Holiday". "Hypnotised" was later included on the Crücial Crüe edition of the album in 2003.
[edit] Background
"Misunderstood" was one of the first songs that the band wrote with Corabi when he joined Mötley Crüe, working out the acoustic part of the song during one of their first rehersals together.[1]
Lyrically, the song tells a story describing the lives of several people who are dealing with the fact that life has passed them by.
