I love misheard lyrics stories. I thought that Ace of Base was singing “I’m for the boys” for at least several weeks. QUESTION: Can anyone solve the R-E-S-P-E-C-T question for me? What does Aretha say? “Take out the PCT?” So that leaves RESE ? I don’t get it. HELP.Five-year-old me thought there was a character in this song named “Brenda Renetti.” Which means that even then there were too many Italians in my life.
Okay, this is incredibly embarrassing to admit, but I thought that the lyric was “Brenda Renetti” until LAST MAY when I saw a Billy Joel cover band perform and the singer properly enunciated “Brenda and Eddie”. I also thought that the lyric to Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girl” was “You make me supersonic, supersonic” instead of “You make me suicidal, suicidal”. Personally, I like my version better— the melody is awfully upbeat tune to be talking about suicide.
I have accepted the fact that I am going to turn out like my friend Nathanael’s grandfather, who thought the Beatles were singing “The girl with colitis goes by” instead of “the girl with kaleidoscope eyes”. I can’t wait until my hearing starts to go.
