It's too late to tell the judge →[More:]Timbaland - Apologize (youtube)

This is what my youngest son thinks the chorus of this song is. He replaces "apologize" with "tell the judge". We like this version better. It's too late to tell the judge...It's toooo laaaate.

So many times I misheard song lyrics. It took me well into adulthood to realize that Peter Gabriel was singing "jeux sans frontieres, not, "she's so popular".

Holy crap--I've always thought that was "she is so funky, eh?" I've learned something today.

You mean she's NOT so popular?

I always knew it wasn't "she's so fuckin'-A," but now you have spoiled the magic for me, LoriFLA! It's just some cheezy French-fried music!

I only very recently learned the correct lyrics to the refrain of Procol Harum's "Conquistador":
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind
For reasons that really make no sense, I always thought ol' Gary Brooker was singing "place to unwind"...

I can't believe it's not "she's so popular". On the one hand *what* a relief to know the real lyrics. On the other...naw, you're making it up, right?

She's So fuckin A. That's catchy.

How do you think I felt when I heard it wasn't "She's so popular"? Crushed! I thought Peter was singing about me!

It's true, stew. Lyrics.

I'll derail my own thread for a moment. I'm searching around YouTube, looking for songs I used to like. "Jet City Woman" by Queensryche is 17 years old. I feel old.

Geeeez. "Jet City Woman" is older than I was when it came out?? Jeeez. I don't just feel old, I am old!
