I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing
My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse
Turns out it was “strong beliefs”, and not a medical term
Have a listen: https://song.link/t/70681623

some daughtry song about Tijuana.
That Land Down Under song. I still have no idea what the women or men do but I can hear the thunder.
The women glow, and men plunder! :D
What does it even mean? I mean the “glow” part.
What does it even mean? I mean the “glow” part.
I think it simply means they’re pretty, radiant, stunning. :)
…or have absorbed a crazy amount of radiation ☢️.
Lol but yeah, the song seems to mainly be about the splendor of Australia, its abundance, and warm friendliness to outsiders, as the singer’s perspective seems to be.
You know what they say… you never shine if you don’t glow
Hey now!

You take a piece of me with you
Don’t go, Jason waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.

Manfred Mann’s cover of Blinded by the Light has entered the chat. Probably the most misheard lyrics in the entire history of modern music.
It’s “Revved up like a deuce.”
Wait… Manfred Mann’s version is a cover? Yep, Blinded by the Light was originally performed Bruce Springsteen.
Speaking of blinding, my honey used to think a different song went “she blinded me with oven mitts, it opened up my eyes”
And the Springsteen version very clearly says deuce which means Manfred Mann had to deliberately change it.
For like a decade+ I thought Umbrella by Rihanna went “under my arms forever”
I used to sing Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong as “Pyramids, pyramids, pyramids, pyramids can’t be wrong”.
Also, in Africa, I definitely thought they said “rises like a lepress (like a female leopard) above the Serengeti”. The real lyric is “Olympus”.
I love that lyric, it’s so supid.
I know that I must do what’s right, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
Mount Olympus (assuming we’re talking the one in Greece and not the one on Mars) is like 3,000 feet tall, Kilimanjaro is 7,000 feet tall. Kilimanjaro would put Olympus to shame, except Olympus is whiter than Kilimanjaro.
Also, you can’t see Kilimanjaro from the Serengeti. There’s a small area where the summit is above the horizon but the air is too hazy.
Even more reason why it should have been a lepress!
Also, if he knows he must do what’s right “as sure as Kilimanjaro rises… above the Serengetil”, and it doesn’t, I guess that means that he must not do what’s right? Or only a little bit, and it’s a bit hazy… 😋
Thanks for the great info!
I think I’ve read that it was either intentionally written kind of dumb, like it sounds poetic but it’s the kind of thing a white guy who has never been to Africa would say.
With Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong I used to hear “ain’t nobody gonna come when your sound is gone” instead of “when you sound your gong”.
Yes, me too for that part too.

As sure as Kilimajaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
Untill this day, I thought it was lepress too.
It makes more sense as the mountain isn’t even located there to begin with
Instead of the Go Go’s saying “Our lips are sealed” I thought they were saying “Honest, Lucille.”
“Dirty deeds, dunder chiefs!”
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.
It was Thunder Chief for me. I figured he must be bad juju.
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.
Michael Scott I guess ?

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap
You’re not alone, kindred spirit! Even when I knew the correct lyrics, I still hear it.
And when I learned about “dunder” or “double underscore” methods in Python, my first thoughts were:
__Chief__()__Mifflin__()
Mice Roller
Heard this the other day, the background vocals “who likes tacos”
Owner of a lonely horse…
Real lyric: owner of a lonely heart.
I never understood why there’d be a song about a lonely horse.
Excuse me, while I kiss this guy.
If anybody remembers this from Del Amitri: https://youtu.be/K_s44LilaYM
I always heard "The wrong guy, the wrong situation. The right time the wrong week.
It wasn’t until my first job at a grocery store during Christmas time that I learned it was “Feliz Navidad” being sung.
Before that, I couldn’t figure out why the cheerful song that only appeared around Christmas time was saying “Police shot my dad”
Best laugh I had in a long time 🤣😭
