When Madonna first came out, she had a song called "La Isla Bonita". A section of the lyrics says, "... A young girl with eyes like the desert....". Well, at first, I thought she was saying "with eyes like potatoes" (no...THAT couldn't have been right! How rude was that for Madonna to compare a girl's eyes to potatoes?!) So I listened and listened. Then I thought she was saying "with eyes like two pesos" (THAT made a bit more sense but what do pesos really look like? And do they look good as eyes??) THEN I finally listened and figured out what the proper lyrics were!! Boy, was I a LOSER!! hee hee!
