Slog - Comments on Confession http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/confession_1 It'll be light slogging from me today. I'm swamped getting the paper out. So, here's my contribution to Slog for the day: When I was a kid, I thought the lyrics to the Knack hit Good Girls Don't, when they actually sang: "Good girls don't/Good Girls don't/she'll be telling you/Good girls don't/But I do" was "Good girls don't/Good girls don't/she'll be telling you/Good girls don't/So I had to."...

Until LAST YEAR. (The edification of karaoke - "It's 'spaz', isn't it?")

It was a much more interesting song the way I had it before, with this self-image of the central character as a seductress actually being a self-delusion.

I spilled my coffee on the computer typing that in so I'm probably just projecting.

'…The heart of rock and roll is in Cleveland!


And after what I say I believe em…'


Instead of:


'…The heart of rock and roll is is still beating…'


This makes perfect sense as everyone knows that Cleveland houses the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown."
As a kid I had no idea what a Parson was. I thought that they were singing "We'll pretend that he is partly brown"
I thought that was quite tolerant for the 50's. An imaginary mulatto snowman friend.

I've never heard it another way since.
And don't forget about Son Volt's Drown where "your Cousin It drowns, didn't want to turn away." I hated that hairy bastard anyway.

Aside from it being an incredibly shitty song, that has to elevate it to worst song ever.

I used to love Journey's "Don't Stop Bleedin'", but . . . .

Hmmm. Could be. As a people i guess they are pretty steamy, what with the polygamy and all.
Not like those cold, clammy presbyterians.

Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It?"

She says: "You must understand how the touch of your hand makes my pulse react."

I heard: "You must understand how the touch of your hand makes my poultry act."

Both interpretations make sense, though.
