Husbands say the darndest things. . .

I'm going to preface this with yes, sometimes I do get the lyrics to songs wrong. But my husband has to be the funniest person with what he comes up with. How does he hear completely different words??

Example 1: Proud Mary

Lyric: Proud Mary keep on burning
What my husband hears: Bone marrow keep on boiling
His explanation: I thought it made sense because it's like your blood's boiling

Example 2: Cats in the Cradle
It's not so much that he got the lyrics wrong, he just had no idea what the guy was singing about. He sings this to be funny when he has to leave for work in the mornings and leave Emma. Right after that, I started quoting "Little Boy Blue come blow your horn. Your sheep's in the meadow. Your cows in the corn. . . "
Adam: What's that?
Me: A nursery rhyme? They're all nursery rhymes. . .
Adam: Oh, I thought it was like the cat in the cradle was his son as a baby, and they had silver, so that meant they were rich and then his son becomes a boy and the dad can only come home at night (the man in the moon).

Oh my goodness. Now, he asked me if I was going to blog about this and I must say, it is embarassing for him but it's just too dang funny!! :-) I love my husband!!

  1. Reminds me of my "Jingle Bells" mix up...

    I always thought it said "...in a one horse slope and sleigh..."
