Thread Name: Mistakes I Have Made When Listening To Songs
Subject: RE: Mistakes I Have Made When Listening To Songs
Maybe it's because I live in Hawaii, but the oldies station here keeps playing Johnny Rivers singing, "Secret Asian Man."
I never knew about Olive in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, but I suppose she's a friend of mean old Story. As a kid I always assumed he was a villain all the reindeer were afraid of, until brave Rudolph came along, and then... "you'll go down and hit Story."
A different twist on this came from my mother, who used to read the sheet music while her sister played the piano. One of her favorite songs had the line, "We will go down to the woods to get her," and my mom couldn't figure out just who they were going to get.
Thanks for bringing this thread back. Sounds like it should be a book -- any cartoonists out there?
