But something about it shocked me every time it came on the radio. I'd be singing along...
That rebel moon is shinin', those stars burn like diamonds...Wait a second. Could the next line really be...
Hell-bent on chasing down that crazy slut ?!?!No, no it couldn't. I looked up the lyrics. Apparently the word in question is "slide" but to this day I can't hear it. I've tried turning up the volume just for the chorus and listening as hard as I can, and I still think it sounds like "slut." In fact, I've taken to singing this instead, though I know it isn't the real line. I just can't help it.
This has happened to me with other songs too. Even though I know the real lyrics I still sing what I originally thought it sounded like. Does anyone else do this?
Sigh, why must you try and ruin that song for me??
ReplyDeleteFor the longest time, in Taylor Swift's "Love Story", I thought she was singing "Good Charlotte, tell me how to feel". Which is sort of nonsensical. Then I found out it was "They're trying to tell me how to feel"...but my mind still immediately defaults to what I first thought the lyric was!
ReplyDeleteOh my god, oh my god, oh my god. You guys.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Shakira song, I forget the name, anyway... In the chorus, she sings, in a high pitched voice, "I sometimes cry" but I had to look up the lyrics to know this, because without fail it sounds like "I am such a slut."
I think the song may be called How Do You Do. You NEED to look this up.
OMG, Chrispy. I just listened and it is How Do You Do, and you are SO RIGHT. It's some creepy effect of the background music I think.
