chris_gerribI am a big fan of the Toto song "Africa" and have been since it came out in 1982. (It's recently been covered by Weezer.) Well, for all those years, I thought the lyrics were "I miss the rains down in Africa."
The line is actually "I bless the rains down in Africa." To which I say, "really? Who are you to bless anything?"

Me, for decades I've thought the lyrics to BOC's “Don't Fear the Reaper” were
40, 000 men and women everyday, really find happiness
whereas I've now learned it's,
40, 000 men and women everyday, redefine happiness
and y' know, I think I prefer mine.
