Years ago one of the local radio stations had a little promo/blurb/soundbite of some young girl calling up and asking that they play Missing Persons "Walking in a Lake". I used to crack up each time I heard it. For those of you not familiar, the name of the song is "Walking in L.A."
Pleased you got a chuckle out of it as well. I've never been good with lyrics & get them wrong all the time. Easy enough to do with the garbled voices of most of todays singers.
This is one of those things that I love about the internet. I can think of a handful of songs that I remember from way back and was always wondering... what the heck were they saying. Knowing good and well what I thought they were saying couldn't be right. Do an internet lyric search... and years of misunderstanding come to light.
