I have a confession to make...I love singing along to songs...any song...but sometimes I am totally lyrically challenged. There are some songs I have absolutely no idea what the heck they are saying but I still sing loud and proud and do my best to fake the fact I'm making some of it up as I go along.
For example, one of my favourite songs right now is How To Save A Life by The Fray. Have you listened closely to it? Is it just me? It sounds like they're not forming any words, one just slurs into the next....Inohowtusavealife...ok, maybe it's not THAT bad but sometimes I just don't get it!

Have you seen the Cingular commercial with the two guys singing along to Rock The Casbah?
They come up with lines like:
the beat had some cataracts
the sheep don't like it
lock the cash box
stop the cat box
It is hilarious...that is so me!!!

I'm now going to tell a very embarassing story which may not come across nearly as funny as it did at the time, and hopefully it won't seem quite so embarassing anymore either!
A few years ago, my husband and I went to Montreal for a few days with two other couples. It was just a mini vacation, Canadiens game, gambling, that sort of thing. We shared two hotel rooms that were adjoining and in between drinking, oops, I mean, shopping and dinner we were in the rooms and for some reason I was singing Take A Chance On Me by Abba. I have no idea why, it must have been on the radio or something. It's not the kind of song I would generally sing in front of other people. So I sing "olly oxen free, take a chance on me" and one of the guys, NOT the girls, says "that's not the words!". It's bad enough being called out about it but to have it done by someone who's 6 foot four and goes by the nickname of Ox...totally humiliating!! Anyway, I'm adamant that I'm right, I'm sure that's what they say, I should know, I LOVE Abba...how could this country bumpkin (and I say that in the most loving way!) possibly know the words to an Abba song! To top it off, he didn't know what the right words were...he was just positive that mine were wrong! So after much debating and laughing so hard I thought we were all going to pee our pants, I think we finally just moved on to some other "hot topic". And of course the really embarassing part is that he was right...it's "honey I'm still free, take a chance on me". PLEASE listen carefully to this song sometime and sing it my way...you will swear I wrote it for them, it sounds soooo good!!!
Honey, I'm still free....whatever! Can you tell I have a hard time admitting when I'm wrong? This was years ago and I'm still slightly bitter about the whole thing! LOL!!!!
