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.

That's actually good to know. I've even looked online to see if there are other people questioning the pronunciation yaddah yaddah.

I mean, it doesn't bother me as much as the 'Dancer' song (by the Killers I think?), where they ask 'Are we Human or are We Dancer?' I know it's even intentional, and I really like the song, but the English teacher in me is always yelling at the radio by the end. "DancerS! Plural! Stop it!" (And why that bothers me, but not 'The Way I Are' I have NO idea)

"Are we human or are we dancer?" is a Hunter S. Thompson quote.

I love being married to a lit geek and trivia nerd. :)

Don't worry about it. I didn't get it either until [livejournal.com profile] roseinmist told me. :)
