The Arts: December 2004 Archives

I've always had a dreadful ear for song lyrics. I've no idea what many songs are really supposed to be about. For some reason the song by the Police, "So Lonely" always has sounded like "Sonali" to me. This goes back to seventh grade at least long before I ever met anyone named Sonali.

Thankfully, I'm not the only one who doesn't hear the lyrics quite right. The web site kissthisguy.com collects misheard lyrics. According to this web site other people believed Sting was saying "Salami" or "Sue Lawley." I'm alone no longer.

Somehow I got pointed to an Australian band by the name of TISM. I was listening to some clips at the record store tonight. Mostly it wasn't my taste, but some of the song titles amused me. One standout was "Interested in Apathy". I'll have to add that to the section of my resume entitled "Interests."
