This weekend, for the first time, I figured out exactly what Jimmy Buffet was saying in part of the song "Margaritaville". Apparently he says: I stepped on a pop top...blew out my flip flop...For years, I thought that he sang about stepping on a POP TART. As I got older, I realized it wasn't possible that he was singing about stepping on a tasty

Last night I dreamt of SOME DAGO. LMAO!!

okay for me, there is the song "Blinded by the Light"
the lyrics go
"revved up like a duece, another runner in the night"

i always thought they said "wrapped up like a douche"

[hotchpot]

They don't? Wrapped up like a what?

Hmmm...when I was younger, I thought it was dooshin. I just didn't know what that meant.

It's funny that my kid will have no idea what a pop top is, or how it could cut one's foot. I used to make chains of them, when my parents had parties.

That is very true!!! My sister Karen used to make chains with gum wrappers. I tried, but I never could quite grasp the "oragami" moves needed to be sucessful.

I wonder if you could ever find pop top anywhere? I mean one that is actually intact on a can. :)

It could be "another boy" with a little a at the beginning of it due to the Italian accent. HAHAHAHHAHA

One of my old college roommates once belted out "Pour some sugar on me, in the neighborhood!" in front of about 15 people, all of whom started cracking up laughing at her.

That sounds like something I'd do!!

For YEARS I sang the Christmas song that goes, "Later on, we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire...." as "Later on we'll PERSPIRE, as we dream by the fire..." I was probably 17 before my sister finally started laughing at me, in front of me, and told me I was singing it wrong. It's still really hard for me to sing it right after they let me go so many years singing it wrong.

[hotchpot]

ME TOO. They are in front of a FIRE. I mean COME ON.

[lala2]

Right...it makes sense!!!
