- How's This Thought For You?
-
For some reason, I was shocked to find out that in "In the Air Tonight", Phil is saying "Oh lord" in the chorus and not "Hold on". I realize it's not exactly shocking, it's just that for my entire life I would sing that song and say "Hold on". Not the words. This came up when Nick made me listen to the song because his cousin had just told him that urban legend about the guy drowning. But I quickly shot that down and then Wiki'd it to prove it wasn't true, because I love raining on parades.
In "Silent All These Years", I always knew the lyrics. However, one day I was listening to that song and I heard Tori say "Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon. How's that thought for you?" and I realized that she was saying that he better cross his fingers that she get her period soon because she might be knocked up. That was a revelation to me. That song has great lyrics.
I always hated "Breakfast At Tiffany's". It was overplayed on the radio when I was in maybe 6th grade and I just hated the sound of it. I also couldn't figure out what the chorus was all about because of the guy's accent. I think I've plinky'd about this song before, but once I figured out what they are saying in the chorus, it made me really love the song. I suggest everyone go back and read whatever it was I wrote about that song if you don't already appreciate it. Because you will.
