remember when we were all trying to suss out the lyrics to the two singles,
then to each of the tunes as we heard them?
i suggest a contest among us to assemble the best misheard lyrics on EMG.
and for my part, i nominate my misheard lyric on Lunch With Gina, where
Donald sings, "This endless afternoon..." and I heard "dissembling
(dissemblage) at the moon," or "room" or some such thing.
All in all, it wouldn't have been a bad lyrical substitution, except for the
"moon" part. i still have to think twice to keep myself from singing it
wrong.
The floor is open. Nominations?
love and kisses
