Really?

[chris_gerrib]

I 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?"

It is “I bless,” and “mis-heard lyrics” websites are often amusing.

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.
