Stooopid Lyrics.

[swestrup]

For some reason today I can't get this refrain out of my head:

"First we drink Manhattans. Then we drink some gin!"

So I thought I'd bug everyone else with it.

Bwahahahahaha!

I love that song, and that's a great "mondegreen"

I get them all the time, although I usually know the real lyrics. taxlady says I should mention the one about the "One Ton Amoeba."

意手ゃん用戸尾。いぃ毛胃。That's what I get when I leave Japanese input mode on in my X.
Now, to the regularly scheduled message...
Thanks. I like it. I never much liked the original lyrics -- now if only I could remember the original line that used to be in the place of drinking gin...

Not that's odd -- When I asked live journal to spellcheck that comment, it found nothing to complain about in the Japanese text. I doubt that randomly generated hiragana would be spelled correctly... or is Japanese that irredundant?

I bet it doesn't even think its words.

"First we take Manhattan. Then we take Berlin!"

Now that's the kind of song I can really get behind!
