"Loco-Motion"
Misheard Lyrics: Everybody's doin' a brand new thing now
Hall-leh-loo-yah mama Original Lyrics: Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion) |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Kylie --> Kute + Kuddly I barely remember this version. When I was in college Kylie Minogue scored a big hit with her version and her Aussie accent actually makes the words easier to discern. She'd be more fun to do the Loco-Motion with. She's a lot cuter ; ) Still, Grand Funk Railroad's version is great too! |
