Sometimes when I’m listening to a song for the first time, I’m not paying close enough attention to the lyrics, and I mis-hear what’s actually being said.
Common occurrence.
I know I’m not the only one.
Sometimes what I hear (as opposed to what’s being said) makes me stop and say, “Wait—WHAT?”
And then I have to back up and listen to it again to figure it out. Sometimes actually paying attention is all it takes. Sometimes I have to start googling the lyrics to find out what it actually is.
O.A.R.’s song Light Switch Sky.
The first time I heard this song, there was a line that made me stop and say WHAT??? And no matter how many times I backed it up, I heard the words Minnesota p0rn. (At about the 2:40 mark.)
Generally I don’t have a problem understanding what Marc’s saying. He knows how to enunciate. (Aside from That Was a Crazy Game of Poker, because no matter how many times I’ve heard it, I still never understand what the hell he’s saying for half the song.)
Minnesota p0rn…on the other hand.
I had to google that.
(Light Switch Sky by O.A.R.)
Never saw the point.
The line is never saw the point. And every other time it’s sung in the song, you can understand that’s what he’s saying.
But the first time he sings that line…
Minnesota p0rn every single time.
I mean, I’ve heard those guys profess their love for Minneapolis (like many musicians do) but I didn’t think they loved the place that much.
Or maybe they do.
*ahem*
