One of the problems I have is with mistaking the words to a lot of songs. I'm guessing everyone has had done that at one point or another, but I doubt yours are as dumb as mine. Not sure if it's because I'm getting too old to relate to the "hippity hop" that kids listen to these days, or if I need to clean out my ears. Maybe my brain just lacks a "common sense" filter.
Here are a few examples I can think of:
1. "Half a million for the scones" (stones -> stones) - Ludacris, From Fergie's song, "Glamorous"
First of all, I really doubt that Ludacris eats scones on a regular basis. Call me crazy, I just don't see him as a big fan of British pastries for some reason. Secondly, even if he did like scones, who pays half a million dollars for them?
Yet for a long time, I still actually thought that was what he said, until I stopped to think about how little sense it made. Amazing.
2. "Reminiscing on days when I had a mustache" (mustache -> Mustang) - Fergie, from the same song
Ok, so technically, I know she doesn't say she has a mustache in this song. But every time I hear that part, I half expect her to say "mustache". Honestly, out of all the examples I'm listing, this one might be the most realistic. I'm sorry to all the people out there who think Fergie is hot, but I must vehemently disagree. In the words of Austin Powers, "she is rather mannish". I could definitely see her having a mustache at some point in her life.
3. "I got a Ford Focus, man" (I'm full of focus, man) - 50 Cent, In Da Club
Most rappers brag about owning Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys, Mercedes, Lexuses, etc. I actually thought 50 Cent was just trying to be unique by bragging about having a Ford Focus. Who knows, maybe it was really souped up version, or a rare hybrid edition or something. Haha, I'm an idiot.
4. "Addicted to Hello Kitty" (Addicted to how we kick it) - Bow Wow, Shorty Like Mine
Not sure how I rationalized this one. Maybe his girlfriend was a really big Hello Kitty fan, and he really liked that about her.
5. "Ya'll can't deny it, I'm a pumpkin rider" (I'm a f___in', rider) - Nate Dogg, from Fabolous's song, Can't Deny It
This one wasn't my mistake, I think it was actually my sister or one of her friends. But I thought it was hilarious and had to share it here. Plus, I can't believe I actually found a picture of a pumpkin rider.
