I used to know every single word of Animal by Three Days Grace, as a teenager. I was so “emo” that I wrote down the lyrics on a napkin, on a plane, and left the napkin in the seat pocket in front of me, for the next passenger to find.
i don’t think I remember the words to any song anymore. I used too when I was younger but I’ve forgotten a lot. I don’t listen to music as much as I once did. And thanks to the internet I’ve realized what I thought they were saying was totally wrong, lol
Example: I thought Elton John was singing “hold me close young Tony Danza” when he was really singing “Hold me closer, tiny dancer”. I have many examples like that.
Thanks! In college, my friend and I would have “fights” where he would start singing the weird al version amd I would sing the original version, and we would try to mess each other up.
I used to know over two hundred songs having been a musician. Most of them were oldies or in Spanish. I have noticed when I play some on the guitar now, I’ll forget a stanza sometimes or repeat a different line at at the wrong place.
A lot of doo wop songs. Stuff like this,
I still know that song.
You’re a gangsta Dino. “Or if you wanna just get high, just say it, then just say it, but then if youse a liar liar, pants on fire” that’s a line I almost always remember from that song. It’s impressive that you know all the lyrics to Hip Hop by Dead Prez.
