Story about this misheard lyric by: Lisa Sousa

I was about 6 years old or so when I misheard the lyrics to the song (it was about the time it came out too). I also kept singing the misheard lyrics because I honestly didn't know the F word was a swear word thinking that it was just a silly word that no one else ever said that I just came up with. It was a little while later when I knew the F word was a swear word. I was an adult when I found out about the real lyrics :).

Song Parody Fragments:

"Convoy"
Better Lyrics:
Oh yippee, another cell phone
The inventor should fry in hell;
If you're talkin' on your cell phone,
How come ya gotta still yell?!?
C'm'ere, lemme see that cell phone,
Wanna throw that sucker away
It will become the fourteenth cell phone
I've flung in the water today.
CELL PHONE!!!
Original Lyrics:
'Cause we got a little convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a little convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'Cross the U-S-A. Convoy!

Lyrics Pronunciation:

"Convoy"
The Lyrics:
They brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinois National Guard
Why:
As anyone from that state will tell you, the "s" in "Illinois" is silent; however, the word is pronounced "ill-i-NOISE" in this song.
