Story about this misheard lyric by: Doremi I thought this song was about junk food etc. and that the person wanted a cookie instead of all that junk food. So my brother and I have always sung it this way. But when I searched this sentence on the Internet to find the song, I saw it was wrong. |

Dated Song Lyrics:
"Diana"
The Dated Lyrics: Her eyes china blue stars - she's born that way
She tastes like apple strudel - you can tell she does With arms that hold swet William to her breast I hope they're crying in their sleep For promises they cannot keep That's why the boys and girls love Diana Why They're Dated: Recorded in 1985 for the 'Protest Songs' album (which was then put in storage until '89 because it didn't seem a punchy enough follow-up to their breakthrough 'Steve McQueen' aka 'Two Wheels Good') this is one of the first pop songs about Diana. princess of Wales. Paddy seems to be after the media hype around Lady Di here. The final verse quoted almost presages the break-up of the marriage.
