Unfortunately, I never know who sings them or what the title is, or have transposed the lyrics into a completely different song. I have found that I'm not the only one who does this though, which is somewhat comforting. I had a co-worker that thought "Kyrie Liason" was "Carry a Laser". She also thought that the song that goes "I come from the land under" ,there is a stanza that says "she just smiled and gave me a vegamite sandwich". She thought it said "she gave me a bite of her sandwich". We had great laughs over this, although I'm not sure why. I guess you had to be there. Basically I'm trying to make the point that I have no idea which two songs you were mentioning, but I'm sure I would recognize them if I heard them. Do you remember the station Y95? That was THE rock station in the 80's, and my parents wouldn't let me listen to it, but they did take us almost every night to "White Water", (which was a huge waterpark in Garland. It would blast from their speakers all day, so that's where I gleaned what little 80's music knowledge I have.Amstaff Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517496064472231507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9932778.post-1113176752420926112005-04-10T18:45:00.000-05:002005-04-10T18:45:00.000-05:00I would rather have remained clueless as to the me...I would rather have remained clueless as to the meanings of many 80's songs. Alas, I've learned that many were thinly veiled songs of drugs and sex.<BR/><BR/>Never did I know the meaning of Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop" till last year. ACK! I think even our mom sang that song along with us!Jennboreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920449345093917410noreply@blogger.com
