Misheard Lyrics: Kid Me

When I was a little kid I often sang songs after listening to them over and over. So most of the time I didn't get the lyrics right. Here are some I remember. See if you can guess where some of them are from. A lot of the lyrics don't make sense because when you're little, you don't care whether it makes sense or not because the singing is fun.


You're off to see the wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz
And merely he's the wizard of
the wizzy wizzy was
and there-idly go
because because because because
because because because because
because because
BECAUSE!
Because of the wonderful things he does
(music)
You're off to see the wizard
The wonderful Wizard of Oz!


Now this next one I have to confess, I just recently learned the true lyrics. Like 2017. This year, guys. THAT recent.
Here is what I thought it was for a loooong time:

Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Stay in the light/life, stay in the light/life
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Stay in the light/life, stay in the light/life

I was wondering for a long time what the heck it meant to stay in the light, or life.

Next song!


Oh the more we'll be/we'll stick together, together, together
Oh the more we'll be/we'll stick together the happier we'll be
For your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
Oh the more we'll be/we'll stick together the happier we'll be



Dashing through the snow
On a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way!
Bells on bobtail ring
Making silver shine
What fun it is to ride and sing
On a sleighing song tonight!



(Thumbelina first song in the movie. The jibberish is what I heard.
You can still sing it in rhythym I think :P)
Beetoodahbeedoobeedoo on the bumblebee
Rehtoodahreedooahtee all
Awtoo the reedoo on the unnerdee!
For reh tina teetah inside!
Thumbelina! She's a scrawny little nish
Thumbelina! Tells a toonle inna ish
Thumbelina! Eees a metah, eemoota, intide!
Thumbelina!
Ahahaha!



(Another Thumbelina song.)
Let me be your wings
Let me take you high above
Let me be the eeeteewa the who we looove!
Everyday I'll take you higher
Any day at all
Everyday I'll take you higher
And I'll never let you fall!

Frosty the snowman!
He's jolly happy soul
With a corncop/corntop hat and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman!
He was made like you and me
He was made with snow but the children know
How he came to life one day

There must've been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found
'Cause when they put it on his head
He began to dance around



What's the story Wishbone
He's makingtoodah puuup
Tryin to see the future
Damaykin yoodah puuup

Take a look now Wishbone
He's wagging up the tail
Kinda seem familiar
Like the story from the book

Take a sniff now Wishbone
Hintryina see na loook

Okay, that's about it.

You might wonder how I remember so much. Well, most of these I looked up the lyrics recently (like within the past 10 years) and only bothered to learn a few of them. Yeah, I'm lazy :P
Also, I sung them like that over and over and over. You know how kids love repetition? It's hard to forget something you repeated to yourself countless times.

You might also notice there aren't many pop songs but that's because I grew up with zero TV and lots of taped videos. So I know most of the 90s shows and the songs but no other TV. Also, there are some Christmas songs but that's only because my Mom plays them every Christmas and I grew up hearing them over and over and over. But you'd think I'd learn the lyrics by ear, right? WRONG! It's actually pretty hard to learn lyrics by ear especially if the singer isn't enunciating properly.

But slurrrrring yer wurds is fine with meh *sly face*
I likes meh a bit of countreh vibez *slyer face*

See ya later, alligators! :P
