- Just this weekend, a friend on Facebook posted this lyric from Men At Work's Land Down Under "He was six-foot-four and full of muscles / I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" / He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich." For all these years, I thought they were singing "He just smiled and gave me a bite of my sandwich." I always figured the big guy stole the narrator's sandwich but gave him back a bite (from Holly).
- I sing "donuts make my brown eyes blue" all the time (from Aunt Misfit).
- My four year old niece thought "my bonnie lies over the ocean" was "my body lies over the ocean." When I corrected her, she said, "That doesn't even make sense. What's a bonnie?" (from Once a Mother).

I also used to think it was my body lies over the ocean. It was a joke between my friends and I when we were out partying in our teens!

ReplyDeleteMy college friend and I had 2 dogs, who were best friends as she and I were. One day she said she couldn't go for a hike with the dogs because she had to get Shasta "dick-tipped" -- she meant to say Tick Dipped!
