Ok, you know the ad for Blow- that new movie with Johnny Depp and Paul Reubens(Yes! Pee-Wee Herman!!!!)? Well, they play “Blinded by the Light” by some random band. That song drives me absolutely insane because it is damn catchy and I have no idea what the hell he says after blinded by the light. Tell me!!!!!!!!! I have it stuck in my head!

When I was younger, I always would mistake song lyrics (not that I don’t do that now…) You know that song- “Every time you go Away” by Paul Young? Well, when I about 7, when the song came out, I used to sing: “every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you.” When it was “you take a piece of me with you.” I couldn’t seem to grasp taking a piece of Paul Young along, so meat seemed to make more sense.

For Christmas, Barb bought me this book called “When a Man Loves a Walnut,” which is a book of misheard lyrics. She got this for me, because for months now, we have been trying to figure out the words to “Blinded by the Light.” The book is hilarious. Here is a related site, even if it doesn’t really represent the book to it’s fullest.

Enough about Lyrics! That is, unless you know!!!!

I have a story about the 3rd annual Pimp and Whore Picnic. If I have time tonight, I’ll tell it.
