Michael* Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaronOfFratton Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 ^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!

I suppose it was easier to embellish the facts in an era pre-Google Maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Katie Melua, she did eventually backtrack and record a factually accurate version of the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 "If I go there will be trouble and if I stay it will be double" - Clearly, you should go. Lesser of two evils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe > Average Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 There are many, but definitely any song with some variation of 'I'll be right here waiting no matter what' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchkiki Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 “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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
