Say what?

I read somewhere that when hearing music some people listen to the melody and some people focus on the words. I’m a words girl. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll tap my foot to a good melody, but if the words don’t make sense or I can’t understand them a song can lose its appeal. Step on up Mr. Jason Mraz whose "I'm Yours" is surely a candidate for a wedding song classic. It’s about love, taking that leap, being in the moment and looking at your tongue in the mirror. In fact, not even a look, Jason tells us he’s "bending over backwards just trying to see it clearer." Dude, where were you going with that? What does it mean?

Course there’s always the good old misheard song lyric where you think a song makes no sense as you have misheard it. Case in point I thought J-Lo was being contrary by saying "Think you got to keep me? Yes you don’t." In her hit "My Love Don’t Cost a Thing." Course she was saying "Think you got to keep me iced? You don’t Iced?" I lived on the Shore, what did I know about ice?

A friend of mine misheard the Go-Go’s "Love is Like a Big Scary Animal" as "Love Is Like A Big Scary Apple" (cue image of a giant granny smith with teeth chasing you aaaahh! which segways into this t shirt) And this one is also clever

But possibly my favourite is good old Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl which has been misheard as One Eyed Girl and Brown Eyed Squirrel. Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
