When I first thought of what I was going to blog about this month I had a couple of ideas that I kept forgetting what it was I was going to write. So I thought about doing a mid-year update on my self appointed posting quota. That would be depressing because as usual I've been procrastinating and will most likely yet again barely crank out the bare minimum of one a month possibly a little more. I don't mind too much since I am making the low minimum. Sort of like when you are only making minimum wage and still living at home with Mum and Dad.
I also thought about doing a rant about some current political event or personality, but I don't like controversy on my blog. I also don't want to have to delete all the comments it would attract, or the spam I'd have to report and then delete.
Then I remembered some more lyrics I had misheard over the years. So:
I recalled that for one of my previous "Misheard Lyrics" posts, I had forgotten to include one of the lines I used to mishear.
Once again it was from The Bangles "Walk Like An Egyptian".
What I thought the line was:
The phone waitresses take their trays,
They spin around and they cross the floor.
The blond waitresses take their trays,
They spin around and they cross the floor.
Another song that I had misheard some lyrics to, has recently been getting more radio airplay due to a recent cover of it. Well the cover has been getting a lot of airplay, and also the original. The Song is "Africa" originally written and recorded by the band TOTO from their Toto IV album.
Toto IV 1982
This year Africa was covered by the band Weezer and is a very faithful cover.
The part of the song that I had misheard for many years was part of the chorus.
The part of the song that I had misheard for many years was part of the chorus.
What I thought it said:
I Guess it rains down in Africa
The Real Lyrics:
I Bless the rains down in Africa
So um Yeah. That is it for now.
