Song Lyrics...
When I was in college, Bobby Brown's "Don't Be Cruel" album had just been released and I remember giggling with my friend Camille about the "RONI" song. We had turned
"my heart belongs to tender Roni..."
into
"My heart, belongs to Macaroni."
and it wasn't too much longer after that when author Gavin Edwards published
'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy: And Other Misheard LyricsIf you know the book, you also know about the gems like "She's Like Fred Gwynn, in my dreams," and "There's a Bathroom on the Right" And not too much longer after THAT, there was even a Wayne's World Episode about it on SNL.
But I digress. Who isn't fascinated with song lyrics?
One thing I miss about albums and CDs is being able to open up the "album jacket" or "album notes" while listening to the songs and read along with the song lyrics. This is now I know about Lisa Loeb's, "I may not be a quaalude living in speed zone..." from WHEN ALL THE STARS WERE FALLING on the Tails album. And you can just listen to the episode to learn more about that.
And it was actually something Annie said to me that made me consider this subject as an epiosde for this show, so you can thank her for the next time you email us about one or more of our lists. Just go to hello@thetopfivepodcast.com. Enjoy the episode!!
