Time once again for Long and Short Reviews Wednesday Weekly Blog hop. Given the prompt of songs that confused me when I was a kid, I immediately thought of Prince’s “I would die 4 U.”
I suffered from a bit of mondegreen – you know, when you mishear something as different words (from Sylvia Wright, who misheard “laid him on the green” as “Lady Mondegreen”). My brain sort of mixed it up with Fred Flinstone’s trademark interjection:
Othertimes, I thought he was singing, “Apple Dapple Do.” I once mentioned the song to a friend, using what I thought was the right lyrics, and she looked at me like I was crazy. She explained the actual lyrics and laughed heartily at the thought that Prince would be quoting Fred Flinstone or saying Apple Dapple Do. She asked if either made sense to me, but I didn’t really think lyrics had to make sense.
