Story about this misheard lyric by: Peter This was my absolute favorite song when I was twelve years old. (My first slow dance with a girl, etc.) Six years later, I was singing the song with my best friend on our drive up to go skiing. He called me on it. "I know there's bunches, too?", he asked. "Bunches of what?", I replied. |
