As a kid, I had a knack for enjoying songs without caring about the exact words in the lyrics. Immediately a good song starts playing on the radio, I would start singing along, even if I had the slightest clue on what the exact words were. Case in point is Wham’s Wake me up before you go. Every time this song was played on the radio, I would be there joining , “KETEPA TEA BAGS!, KETEPA TEA BAGS!”
ndio iyo… “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go”
Jitterbug [4X]
You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin’ starts
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang-bang-bang ‘til my feet do the same
But something’s bugging you
Something ain’t right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin’ in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead.
Wake me up before you go-go
Don’t leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don’t want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
‘Cause I’m not plannin’ on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)
You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same
‘Cause you’re my lady, I’m your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let’s not fight
We’ll go dancing, everything will be all right
Wake me up before you go-go
Don’t leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don’t want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
‘Cause I’m not plannin’’ on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
Jambo nipe senti moja…
Lionel Ritchie… We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come onand sing along!
We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
But Macarena by Les Del Rio or something close to that must have had people suffer the worst case of mondegreen! Okay, maybe coz it was in latin or whichever language…
