On song lyrics...

Is it just me, or does anyone else hear Lady Gaga declare, “Gotta doo-doo!” in the chorus of her song Just Dance?

Because I do. And I refer to it as the Doo-Doo song.

And while I am on the subject of music, my mother and sister literally had to spell out the meaning of the new Britney Spears’ song, If You Seek Amy, for me. I thought it was a reference to some sort of drug use, but – yeah…it’s not. Britany’s gotten dirty.

And for the record, I get song lyrics wrong with an alarming frequency. Here are some of my more famous blunders:

• Twisted Root’s song, Send Me On My Way. I thought they were singing about Semi the Whale. I always imagined (and sometimes still do) a cartoon version of Shamu swimming happily around the ocean with a big, stupid grin on his face.



• Hinder’s song, Better Than Me.
  
  Real Lyrics: “What it feels like beside you…”
  
  What I Thought: “But it feels like Poseidon…”



• Aerosmith’s song, Dream On.
  
  Real Lyrics: “Sing with me, sing for the years/Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears…”
  
  What I Thought: “Sing women, sing from over here/Sing from the left, sing Mama Tia…”

There are more, of course, but I’ll leave those for another post on another day.

Happy Friday, everyone!
