It's a Hard Knock Life

So what if I never knew that the words weren't "It's a hard enough life for us" until last week? What does "hard knock" mean anyway?

It's like Ellen DeGeneres's stand up comedy about singing the wrong lyrics. If I remember correctly, she said, "Why was I singing 'monkey hatchet'?"

This isn't the first time I've butchered lyrics. You know that Lifehouse song that was popular in 2000/2001? "Hanging by a Moment"? I thought he said "I'm running in a graduated globe" instead of "I'm running and I don't know where to go." It might have something to do with the fact that I was taking chemistry at the time. Not sure.

Going even further back to when I was in primary, I thought there was a long Spanish word in "As I Have Loved You." Instead of "by this shall men know," I heard and sung, "bythishallmeno." Alas, we can't all learn song lyrics correctly without reading the words.

  2. I think so. I typed it into YouTube to get the song, and that's what came up.
