I looked at her sideways chuckling a little. She was singing along at the top of her lungs but whenever the singer said the word 'sloopy' she sang 'sloppy'. We were driving down the road in my convertible Z with the top down and the music cranked up loud.Ī real oldie came on the radio - 'Hang on Sloopy'. Yep, same name as the girl from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I wasn't keen on the idea but oddly it seemed less objectionable than kissing a guy. It also led me to wonder about sucking cock. I'd never wanted to kiss a guy as a result, but it made me think about it enough to reject it. The homoerotic imagery swayed my thinking for years.
For years I thought he said, 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy.' rather than 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky.' I know that happened to me with the song Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. Have you ever misheard the lyrics to a song? Maybe even sung it wrong, only to be corrected by someone.
