My friend and I loved the song "Down on the Corner", we especially loved singing along with it. The problem was, we didn't know the lyrics. Until we looked the lyrics up online, we sang the lyrics, "Down on the corner, out in the street, with a busload full of cattle, and veniffo dadalie" for about three years.
People must have thought we were retarded.
