100 things you did not know about me.
Part 2: Simply Irresistible! Or, an Apology to Robert Palmer.
For nearly 2 decades I thought Robert Palmer's song "Simply Irresistible" was about his discovery of transvestites and gay sex.
Seriously. I've always been hearing the chorus wrong. It's supposed to go:
Simply irresistible shes so fine, theres no tellin where the money went
Simply irresistible shes all mine, theres no other way to go
And this is what I've been hearing:
Simply irresistible shes so fine, theres no tellin where the money went
Simply irresistible shes a man, theres no other way to go
Two small words change the entire song. Hell, look at the opening verse:
How can it be permissible
She compromise my principle
That kind of love is mythical
Shes anything but typical
TOTALLY DIFFERENT MEANING.
Now, with the meaning of the song completely changed, I invite you to watch the video. Remember, I was 13 and discovering girls when the video came out. It broke my head.
