... are the root of all my computer malware evil.
So the Family & I were out driving this evening, and we were listening to the usual station (the one that I only listen to when I'm with the girls)... These stations play the same pop/koolaid/stick-in-your-head music over and over and over again - I avoid it like the plague. Because of this, I'm not hip on all the lyrics to America's Favorite Top 40 blah blah blah...
In fact, most of the music I listen to either has no words at all, or is otherwise completely incoherent anyway... I gave up on lyrics a long time ago.
So this John Mayer song (He's the guy that sang that song that goes “Youuuubaaadisaahhhwaaaahhhnalaaahhhhhhhh”) comes on, and all the girls are singing along effortlessly... Feeling like the black sheep, I try to blend in... singing along when possible, improvising most of the time, “Girls become Lemons, Turnips, and Melons”...
Once Jeanne caught her breath (from laughing, and making fun of me) she explained that “Girls become Lemons, Turnips, and Melons” == “Girls become lovers who turn into mothers”. This is a regular occurrence when we're out driving. I like my lyrics better anyways... figuratively speaking, they work just fine, and they're not as boring.
Googling for lyrics is a favorite pastime of mine, and it happens that most of the lyrics sites come with their share of evil popup malware shenanigans.
I usually like my version more anyway.
