My husband is the KING of mis-sung lyrics. I pride myself on being the QUEEN of properly sung lyrics, but tonight, we definitely shared a moment.
While driving home from the movies (go see Traitor…awesome flick), we were listening to My Morning Jacket’s version of Rocket Man.
And when it got to the chorus, we both sang…
“And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
ROCKET MAN, nahhh-nah nah nah nah nah naaahhh nah nah”
That’s right. Both of us. Nah-nah’ed the last line. At full volume.
So upon returning home, I immediately jumped online to find the missing lyric so as not to repeat this incident again. For me, for Tim, and for anyone else out there wondering, the line is:
“Burning out his fuse up here alone.”
Who knew?
There you go again, using the Internet, when a phone call to dear old dad would have surely given you the lyrics. He is the King of mis-heard lyrics, especially the ones that everyone gets wrong!
Hold me close, young Tony Danza.
There’s a bathroom on the right?
A girl with colitis goes by.
Secret Asian Man?
Excuse me while I kiss this guy?
The ants are my friends, they’re blowing in the wind?
