Lyrics

Ok, so I love listening to music. I love the rhythm, the melody, harmony and lyrics. I just love music.

My kids have both inherited this love (which their daddy also shares) of music. However, I cannot say that they quite get the grasp of lyrics. I do not mean that they don't understand what the lyrics mean; I mean that they do not understand WHAT the lyrics are saying about 80% of the time.

Today, on the way home from school, I hear my eight year old son Joseph singing in the back seat one of the most famous Queen songs, "We Will Rock You." It takes me a minute to understand that this is what I am hearing, not because of the tune. He has almost perfect pitch...so the tune was fine. It was...the LYRICS.

From the backseat I hear this:
"You put blood on your face,
You big nut case,
Ravioli hands all over the place
Singing
We Will, We Will,
Rock you."

Seriously, when I heard this, I almost swerved off the road. I was laughing so hard! Kids are so funny...especially when they are not meaning to be.
