So I'm listening to Elvis (surprise, I know) this morning and the song "Return to Sender" came on and I couldn't help, but giggle. My sister, used to sing the words "Return to Sender...dad-dress unknown..."
I know we've all sang songs with the wrong lyrics or if you don't want to claim "singing" the song..maybe you misheard the lyrics. :)
Here are a few misheard lyrics...
CORRECT LYRICS:
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
MISHEARD LYRICS:
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be de-vita
showin s’not funky showin s’not right
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
CORRECT LYRICS:
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
MISHEARD LYRICS:
Oh, Oh big ol’ Jed and Elijah
Don't carry me too far away
CORRECT LYRICS:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race.
MISHEARD LYRICS:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the anti- human race.
CORRECT LYRICS:
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer.
MISHEARD LYRICS:
I'm stuck here with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his wage
And no message could have been any clibber.
CORRECT LYRICS:
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit,
you know I read it in a magazine...
MISHEARD LYRICS:
She's got electric boobs, a maha suit,
you know I read it in a magazine...
AND here it is……(with the lyrics that I understood)……the song I love, love loved as a kid…
All the old Beijings on the tombs
They do the sundance, don’cha know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino.
All the buzza men by the night
They got their money on uh-buh
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette.
Foreign types with the hooga pipes say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian.
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
They drop your drink, then they bring you more.
All the school kids so sick of books
They like to punk in the midda bend
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
Can you sing the correct lyrics? Can you name that song?
Oh and Sarah…sing “pimples in the sand”… PLEASE!! :)

Mascots..
I was reading an article on MSN today about "Menacing Mascots", the article starts out by saying "For every lion, tiger and bear mascot in the 2010 NCAA Men's basketball tournament, there is a mascot that might not be as easily tamed...." And basically...it's a check out our top ten "menacing" mascots. You know...the kind of mascot that they wouldn't want to get caught with in a dark alley. Ya know what I say? Menacing, Schmenacing...I want a COOL mascot. I want a mascot that I want to be caught with in a dark alley because he's tough, he's not dirty or evil, he's a do-good-er and he's an all around good guy and well.....he's flat out cool !! I want a mascot that when you see him coming, you can't help yourself and somehow you are suddenly your feet yelling "GO Pokes!!"
Don't argue with me...you know I'm right.
The one...the ONLY.....Wyoming's PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTOL PEEETE!!!!!

Wacky Week
To put it simply, I’ve had a wacky, wacky week!!
Tuesday - My Tuesday started out normal, just like my Monday. No surprise there, UNTIL the evening rolled around and we all packed in my trailblazer and headed to the Wyoming basketball game. Warning Wacky ahead…………Wyoming beat Air Force!! We actually won! We ended our losing streak!! Ahh..what a feeling! Hard seasons are rough on the heart. Anyway…WACKY!
Wednesday – Now Wednesday, just when you thought things couldn’t get any wackier. My Wednesday was just a tiny bit busy, not only was I working on billing, but I was also slapped with two Supreme Court briefs. Conclusion……briefs suck! The afternoon begins to roll around and I’m finally seeing some light. Yay! So I’m walking down the hall to deliver some paper on a case to Cindy. As I turn the corner, the bathroom which is across the hall from her desk and on a normal day, just an empty ladies bathroom, but not today.... Warning Wacky ahead…………someone and when I say someone, I mean a small boy about 4 or 5 is sitting on the toilet, WITH the door open and he’s grunting. Yes GRUNTING! Ok I’ll say it…… WACKY!
Thursday – Matt brought his dog to work. Matt went to court. Matt left the dog alone in his office. Why would Matt do that? (think Dick and Jane books) I’m calmly working at my desk, the office is relatively quiet. ROOF ROOF…….Skeeter (the dog) begins barking and barking. How disruptive! I can hear the dang dog clear in my office. Warning Wacky ahead……Knowing that Matt is not in his office, what’s the best thing to do? Oh of course, pick up the phone and page the dog to be quiet, right? Exactly! So, I picked up my phone and paged into Matt’s office, “Skeeter? That’s enough of that…stop!” The barking ends. I’m so proud of myself, Skeeter has stopped barking and it’s quiet. ROOF ROOF ROOF………ugh! So, I pick up my phone and page the dog again. “Skeeter….stop that, please. Matt will be back soon!” The barking ends. Did Skeeter finally realize that the voice in the phone was dead serious and that he should stop barking for good? Noooo!! I ended up walking to Matt’s office and consoling the dog for a bit. Officially, I guess I’m a legal assistant, a bookkeeper, a dog-sitter, and the “voice in the phone”. What a day!! WACKY!
Friday - Friday is finally here and I can safely say, nothing wacky has happened yet. Maybe that’s why I love Friday so much!!!!!
