Misheard Lyrics Story:
|
"(Don't Fear) the Reaper"
Misheard Lyrics: come on baby
don't smoke the reefer Original Lyrics: come on baby
don't fear the reaper |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Bella My sister Hally loves this song, and after belting the song out in the middle of the local mall, she informed our mom that she wanted this song to be played at her funeral. Mom promptly bust out laughing, asking "Why on Earth would you want an anti-drug song to be played at your funeral?" I'd been through this before with Mom, and kept silent, but my older (yet somehow less intelligent) sister couldn't, and instead asked "What do you mean? 'Don't Fear the Reaper' is about not fearing death!" Mom cracked up again, and elbowed me, as if to say "Do you believe this?" "The song is "Don't Smoke the Reefer! It's an anti-drug song!" She laughed some more, and I smiled and went along with it, pretending to have known all along that my Mom was right, when she was actually wrong, and making a very big deal about Hally being wrong, when Hally was actually right. To this day I am the only person in the house who knows the real words to this song. |
