Do you remember when you were a kid riding in the car with your parents? The radio would be on and your parents would be singing at the top of their lungs … all the WRONG words?? How could they be so dumb and embarrassing? Yep .. that is now me!
I think I am a pretty cool Mom and I like all of “today’s” music … but lately I have been getting the words wrong. Let me tell you … your kids will in no way let this slide. I am now the embarrassing parent. How did this happen?
Here are a few recent mistakes I have made:
Coldplay, ”Viva La Vida”
My Lyrics:
For some reason I can’t explain I know saint Peter will call my name
Original Lyrics:
For some reason I can’t explain I know saint Peter won’t call my name
Seriously … did you know it was Saint Peter won’t call my name? Yes? You are lying.
Earth, Wind and Fire, “September”
My Lyrics:
On and on! Say, do you remember?
or
Party on! Say, do you remember?
Original Lyrics:
Ba de ya! Say do you remember?
This is my all time favorite song and even though I know it’s ” Ba de ya”, I still sing “on and on” everytime. What the heck?
LMFAOs, ”Sexy and I Know It”
My Lyrics:
(Aah) Girl look, a dead body!
Original Lyrics:
(Aah) Girl, look at that body.
Yep … I said that. I deserved to be laughed at for that one. ”Mooooommmmm – those are not the right words! – Geez”!!
So here is my new motto …

as usual you crack me up, hysterical!
Ok, 2 funny stories about this (both involve dad of course). First is the song Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics. The song goes “sweet dreams are made of these . .”. Dad used to sing “sweet jesus is made of love”. Ummmm no dad. And he wasn’t kidding.
Another was our school song. It went “Onward Apple Valley High School onward to victory . . “. Dad sang “Onward Aplle Valley beat the various team members”. Again . . No dad.
Just thought I’d send you funny memories.
Love you
Krissy
BaaHaaHaaa! LOL! My kids are only two, but I’m headed in your direction for sure. “That fifteen second part you do know is coming up…” So funny. So me.
Enjoy this time where your kids don’t remind you every chance they get that you are “so not cool”! So glad you liked the post and I made you laugh!
You are killing me! This is too funny! Thanks for the belly laugh!
Thanks Peggy! You always leave the best comments! Hope all is well!!
My tween daughter begs me not to sing. Or worse — looks to me with disgust. ha.
That is so funny! I have 3 teen daughters and 1 teen son and I am looked at with disgust daily. I swear – everything is my fault. If their hair doesn’t work – my fault. They can’t find something – my fault. It is exhausting! I am sure I will miss it one day – so they say.
