DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?

What song lyrics have you been singing for awhile, only to discover that you've been singing the wrong words?

When you heard "Lucy in the sky with diamonds," did you sing, "The girl with colitis goes by"??

Or, instead of "Lady Madonna, children at your feet," were you singing, "Kneedeep in doughnuts, perfume on my feet"??

I could go on, but I won't. You get the idea. Well, here's a recent conversation in my home.

Kid: "Mom, what would happen if you put a booger in the microwave?"

Mom: "What?? That's gross!! Where'd you hear that?"

Kid: "It's on a song on the Newsboys CD. They say, 'Cool as the burn of an aftershave, tender as a booger in the microwave.'"

Dad: "I don't think so. Go get me the lyrics."

Dad: (Reading the lyrics) "Cool as the burn of an aftershave, tender as a burger in the microwave."

Kid: "Oh. Oops."

Lunch, anyone?

I just heard the song on KLOVE for the first time today or maybe I was just paying attention to the lyrics for the first time. Apparently the Newsboys are Australian, and the singer does sound like he's saying booger. It made me laugh!
