"Simply the Best"
Misheard Lyrics: I stomp on your heart
I hate on every word you say Original Lyrics: I'm stuck on your heart
I wait on every word you say |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Andrew Schultz While "I stomped on your heart" is already in, the next line, as I heard it, seemed to raise the stakes. I couldn't work out what either line was meant to be, but I knew what I heard was wrong. I briefly wondered if it was an ironic diss track aimed at Ike Turner, who deserves it, but then I remembered diss tracks were yet to be invented when the song was released. Thank goodness for Google Lyrics. |

The Misrhymed Lyrics: What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken? Why They're Misrhymed: Hate to demean this song, but 'emotion' doesn't even come close to rhyming with 'broken'? Especially since 'emotion' has a sylable too many.

Songs That Are Banned:
"Typical Male"
Not the song itself but the video was edited for airing on Brazilian TV. Near the end before she seduces the lawyer and they are holding hands, Tina gives the viewer the 'OK' gesture. That gesture is VERY offensive in Brazil. It means "You asshole!" in their culture so that scene was clipped out for Brazilian TV broadcasts.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Swiss Citizenship"
Tina Turner wants to become a Swiss citizen, and love has everything to do with it. A Swiss paper wrote recently that the 73 year old soul diva had been granted citizenship, according to the Associated Press. She has passed a local civics test and interview. "I'm very happy in Switzerland and I feel at home here," Turner said in Blick. a German newspaper. But the decision still needs to be approved by the Swiss state, or canton, of Zurich and federal authorities before the passport is granted.

"Her legs"
Whether she was performing with Ike Turner or solo, it was very rare that she wore anything other than short skirts or shorts.
