Ending the week without a moan, something that might even put a smile on your face.
I recently introduced Sam to the disco classic Rock The Boat by The Hues Corporation on one of our neverending selection of in-car compilations (now up to to Sam #112, if you're counting).
Now whenever he hears the song, he sings along...
"So I'd like to know where
You got the lotion!
Said, I'd like to know where
You got the lotion..."
I have told him the lyric is "notion", and even explained what a notion is, but it doesn't change the mondegreen for him. I'm coming to prefer his version, particularly as I can't help but picture Buffalo Bill from Silence Of The Lambs whenever I hear it...
You can have great fun with misheard lyrics. Now you've got me thinking about Buffalo Bill's words too.
ReplyDeleteI’ll never hear it any other way now.
