Her Morning Elegance / Oren Lavie

I love this... found it on the Andrew Sullivan website.

Misheard lyrics

Back in the days before the Intarwebs, you couldn't always get the lyrics of popular songs except by actually buying the record album, which frequently had the lyrics printed on the cover or on the record sleeve.

I used to mishear Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" line which goes:

When the working day is done

as:

What in the world can they have done

And another song that went:

Oh what a lonely boy

as:

Oh what a lovely war

You got any like that?

Irregular past participles be damned.

This is the first time I've seen (uh, I mean, I've saw) this in print (though it was on a website, so not really printed):

I've did it myself once.

 

Take the test: web2.uvcs.uvic.ca/elc/studyzone/410/grammar/pperf2.htm

 

You can call me a fickle thing

I had never seen this video for "Move Over, Darling," but I can't count the number of times I listened to the song on cassette while I was sanding and varnishing some yacht or other.

What gives?

What's with all these people from Russia adding me as an LJ friend and then the account is deleted soon afterward? It's happened at least five times now.
