Throat Condition
Regarding the song I Wear My Sunglasses At Night: what the heck is Corey saying during the chorus? It sounds like:
Don’t mess aBLEEECH a-da-BLEEECHaBLECHaBLEEEEEEEECH
I’ve pretty much always hated this song because of his odd throat condition.
Don’t switch the blade with the guy in shades, oh no.
Don’t masquerade with the guys in shades, oh no.
Yeah…deep. WTF?
Yep. And I’m kind of embarrassed that I know that. Speaking of mondegreens, until about…oh, two years ago, I thought in “No Rain” Shannon Hoon was singing “I liked to keep my sheets dry today,” not “I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today.” I thought it was his way of telling us he’s a bedwetter. (And I sort of admired him for that.)
I always thought is was “don’t mess around I’m a guy who shaves oh no.” The shades makes a bit more sense. With the sunglasses and all. Silly child. I now feel like a grown up who knows the truth.
don’t mess around with a guy blah blah blah blah
helpful?
It’s, I think:
“Don’t mess around with the guy in shades, oh no.”
