"I'll Be a Sunbeam"
Misheard Lyrics: A zombie, a zombie,
Jesus wants me for a zombie; A zombie, a zombie, I’ll be a zombie for Him. Original Lyrics: A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam; A sunbeam, a sunbeam, I’ll be a sunbeam for Him. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Ryan Miller This song used to scare me as a child because I didn't want to become a zombie. It didn't help that the children singing on the cassette recording my mother used to play had a strong Chicago accent where /ʌ/ shifts to /ɔ/ making sunbeam sound like sombea(m) to an American living south of the great lakes. |
