"Lean on Me"
Misheard Lyrics: Lead somebody to Reno
Original Lyrics: Need somebody to lean on
|
Story about this misheard lyric by: Emmanuel Allison As a child back in the 1980's in inland northern California, this made perfect sense to me. I knew a lot of religious zealots who talked about the day of judgement and all of that, though I knew nothing about religion myself, and Reno was a place lots of local people went on vacations and came back with wild stories about, so when I heard a song about how "it won't be long till I'm gonna lead somebody to Reno" and "we'll all lead somebody to Reno" I just figured it was a religious message about salvation. |

Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Lovely Day"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day... This chorus alternates with just one repeated verse...and they go back and forth.
Why They're Repetitive: While repetitive, its a groovy, smooth, funky, yet romantic song but... one verse and multiply repeated verse? It's funny.
