Story about this misheard lyric by: Audrey Carberry My friend and I were on a road trip with her parents and I made a joke about the YMCA. We started singing it and we got to the chorus and I yelled "It's fun to say you go YMCA!". She cracked up and told me those weren't the words but I didn't believe her. I had been singing it that way my whole life. I made sure she double checked the lyrics with her parents after and needless to say her family still makes fun of me for it to this day. |
