An Ode To The Song Lyrics We Always Get Wrong
NY Daily News

I would pay a lot of money if there was someone in the world that could perfectly decipher every "song lyric" correctly. This week, I asked some friends what their biggest lyric misinterpretations were, and this is what I got...

1. “Cause I’ve been actin’ like someone that fell on the floor, so shove fudge up the refrigerator"

Actually: “'Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor; it's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator”

Song - The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani and Akon

It seems like our girl Gwen needs some annunciation lessons...or maybe rapping just really isn't her forte.

2. "All the lonely Starbucks lovers"

Actually: "Got a long list of ex-lovers"

Song - Blank Space by Taylor Swift

Hey, if I'm going to be lonely, may as well have some good java!

3. "Hold me closer, Tony Danza!"

Actually: "Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer!"

Song - Tiny Dancer by Elton John

Nothing wrong with singing about beloved actors, right?

4. "Ludacris concert cockatoo parrot"

Actually: "A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it"

Song - Sugar, We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy

I don't think even Fall Out Boy ever knows what they're saying...

5. "You can be my green bean and baby I'll rule"

Actually: "You can be my queen bee and baby I'll rule"

Song - Royals by Lorde

It's okay, Lorde, veggies will keep you healthy so you can rule effectively!

6. "Had sweet love but I lost it, she got too close so I farted"

Actually: "Had sweet love but I lost it, she got too close so I fought it"

Song - Knee Deep by Zac Brown Band

Hate when this happens.

7. "Marmalade, we're making out ohhhhh yeeahhhh"

Actually: "Normally we're making out ohhh yeeahhh"

Song - Tongue Tied by Grouplove

Maybe some spreads are better kissers than others.

8. "Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing penguins?"

Actually: "Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements?"

Song - Chasing Pavements by Adele

Hey, penguins are cute. We don't blame you, Adele.

9. "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy"

Actually: "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky"

Song - Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix

In this case, the misinterpreted lyric seems to make way more sense than the actual one!

10. "Concrete jungle, wet dream tomato"

Actually: "Concrete jungle where dreams are made of"

Song - Empire State of Mind by Jay Z and Alicia Keys

Every. Single. Time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
