Fun With Mondagreens! What do the following Mondagreens say about me? Answer after.

1. Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing payments, even if it leads nowhere.
2. Are we humid or are we dancers?
3. We'll be smoking grass today.
4. The wrong guy, the wrong situation, the right time the wrong me.
5. Every highway has seen better days.

Answer: Not only does my hearing suck, I DO NOT PAY FUCKING ATTENTION TO THE FUCKING SONG TITLES, which are, in order, Chasing Pavements, Human, Jeremy, Roll to Me and Carefree Highway.

Also, I drive by Carefree Highway with some frequency and it took someone talking about the song yesterday for the penny to drop.

My kids, who were listening to hit singles in the 90s as children, had this hearing of "Waterfalls" -

Go go, Jason Waterfalls

My son, in particular (why do males seem more prone to mondegreens?) seemed certain of this line.

Theres seven breezes a-blowin
All around the cabin door
Theres seven breezes a-blowin
All around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the oceans pounding roar

Theres seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
Theres seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
Somewheres in the distance
Theres seven new people born.

While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from societys pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That hes in

Everything ok? Should we be worried?

I have reason to believe Thoth was issuing a reminder of the importance of weatherstripping.  When you come from Egypt, those drafts of outside Dakota air can be quite a shock.  Especially if you have the head of a tropical bird.

Junior Brown.  I like the shift at around 5:00.

For a long time I thought the second line was "Woman is laughing loud". It is Warmongers. Glad to learn the song is not misogynistic, just misanthropic.
