Posted September 26, 201212 yr So at long last, we now have a designated area to highlight debatable or factually inaccurate song lyrics. For instance... "Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon" - It most certainly does not, Vanessa. "There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time" - Yes there will, they even have ski resorts. And so on and so forth.
September 26, 201212 yr ^Not to mention the likelihood of Sudan or Somalia, plus great swathes of Ethiopia itself (the countries the single was raising money for), actually "knowing" it's Christmas time at all - being almost overwhelmingly Islamic... Whilst you're in Africa though Michael* - how about Africa by Toto? The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti "Sure as" - although it's 200 miles away!
September 26, 201212 yr "There are 9 million bicycles in Beijing"-pretty sure there are more. hahaha "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, So you don't confuse them with mountains" yes shakira... "i would do anything for love. but i wont do that" - ohh so you wont do anything for love then

I suppose it was easier to embellish the facts in an era pre-Google Maps.

September 27, 201212 yr Author "If I go there will be trouble and if I stay it will be double" - Clearly, you should go. Lesser of two evils.
September 28, 201212 yr There are many, but definitely any song with some variation of 'I'll be right here waiting no matter what' .
March 12, 20169 yr “This sex is on fire.” - no, not good. Chlamydia? Herpes? “If the light is off, then it isn’t on.” - well, it is, somewhere else but it is off in your head Hillary
March 14, 20169 yr Author It's been so long since I last thought about this topic. While I'm here, a few more... “Thunder only happens when it's raining” - You shouldn't need to be a meteorologist to know that's not the case. “We don’t need no education” - The double negative might suggest otherwise. ''All I need is the air that I breathe'' - Have a word with a dietician if you believe that.
