Writer's Block: Know by Heart

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I always thought that Enya's "Sail Away" was "Save the Whales." Then I was very confused when Crystal Light used it in an ad campaign. Especially when it had all these sailboats and stuff in it. I mean, they were both ocean-y, but where were the whales? At the time I was very impressed with Crystal Light's commitment to the environment.

Then someone pointed out the real lyrics and I felt like such a dork.

...Still sounds like 'Save the Whales' to me.

Also, Fall Out Boys 'This Ain't a Scene it's an Arms Race' there's NO WAY 'scene' is what they're really singing. The only way that would be possible would be to pronounce the last 'e' in scene. Drives me right up the wall. City, CD, something. But not Scene.

When I was little, I thought the line in Joy to the World was "Let every heart prepare him brooms."

This didn't make any sense to me. So a few years later, I decided that the line was "Let every heart prepare him prunes." My mom, when she heard this, almost hurt herself laughing.

She said I wasn't sure why the Lord was coming, but at least I knew he was going to be pretty regular when he got here!
