If you follow me on twitter you already know the 140 character version of this story.
Lately I’ve realized that I don’t actually know any correct song lyrics. I’ll start singing something to Scarlette and then have to stop and google the lyrics halfway through. I thought Ace of Base was Pearl Jam for half my life. Obviously I have music issues.
So I google “Little Doop Scoop” which, by the way, I think is a song about double dipped ice cream cones DID NO ONE ELSE SEE THAT KIDSONGS VIDEO? only to discover that the song is actually called “Little Deuce Coop” and is about a car.
I’ve been singing it endearingly to Scarlette for her entire life. I’m all “She’s my little doop scoop, you don’t know what I got.” As in, my baby is the sweetest. You know. Like ice cream.
In addition, I apparently can’t understand anything the Beach Boys sing because I also thought that they were telling me to Bop Bop Bop Bop Bop A Ram and take their ham.
In my world The Beach Boys were about ice cream cones and some sick, twisted version of cow tipping.
This surprises no one, right?
In my defense, they do sing ba ba black sheep (although not bop a black sheep, as it turns out) so there is that.
Last year Jeff was all “Honey, you have GOT to learn the right words to Christmas carols. It is going to freak Scarlette out if you keep singing about Jack Frost nipping off your nose.”
What song lyrics have you misunderstood? Let’s laugh at you too 🙂
bop a ram, won’t you take my ham? oh bop a ram, you got me rockin’ and a rollin’, rockin’ and a reelin’ bop a ram.
