i used to think that fallout boy - sugar we're going down which goes "dont mind me im watching you two from the closet wishing to be the friction in your jeans, isnt it messed up how im just dieing to be him?"said "tell mummy im watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction in your jeans, is it the next stop? oh im just dieing to be here!" i only realised the truth wen my workmate told me after i sang it while serving on tills in front of about 5 customers!
i also took a lot of convincing that will smith sang switch! i had no other suggestion of who it was, but it wasnt will smith
and it took me ages to understand that madonna in "like a prayer" and kelis in "milkshake" were using lots of imagery and not speaking literally! wasnt helped by the fact that kelis' video is in a milkshake place!
