Van Zant's, "2+2"
Misheard Lyrics:
You keep subtracting the time you should be mine
And that can't solve my problem.
No matter how much I ask,
It just keeps driving me mad,
I get no closer to that 'unintelligible'.
And that can't solve my problem.
No matter how much I ask,
It just keeps driving me mad,
I get no closer to that 'unintelligible'.
Original Lyrics:
You keep subtracting the time you should be mine
And that can't solve my problem.
No matter how much I ask,
It just keeps driving me mad,
I get no closer to that 'Southern Charm'.
And that can't solve my problem.
No matter how much I ask,
It just keeps driving me mad,
I get no closer to that 'Southern Charm'.
This is for Van Zant the band, not Johnny Van Zant as a solo artist (Although he is the lead singer). 2+2 is a great song (so are all the others on the disc) but this last verse has been driving me crazy for a long time. Using my usual tricks with an audio editor (Sound Forge), I am now 99% sure that the last words, which are very hard to hear correctly, are 'Southern Charm' (which I think makes sense and fits into the context of the song - the premise is '2+2 don't add up to me and you'.)
Taylor Swift's, "22"

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hamsters

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
