misunderstood lyrics

I remember that song "The Power" (I think that's the title) by Snap or something like that (it was early 90s). For those of you who do soundtracks, it was on the Bruce Almighty soundtrack when Bruce goes around blowing up fire hydrants and skirts...

There is a portion of the song that says "It's gettin, It's gettin, It's gettin kinda hectic." My friend was singing the song on the way to a cheerleading competition and was singing the words "Skinny, skinny, skinny's got a headache."

This oughta get some laughs: My husband and I were listening to a classic rock station and I think the song is called "Time Changes." In any case, the end of the song goes: "Time may change me, but I can't change time." For years, he'd been singing, "Time may change me, but I can't trace time." I had to ask him, what on earth did he think that MEANT?

The song you're thinking of is called "Changes" by David Bowie.

And I think your husband is right, Every lyric sheet I googled for Changes had "I said that time may change me, but I can't trace time". Although in the actual song it does sound like he sings "change' instead of "trace".

My daughter has just admitted (on Facebook, of all places, and now she'll never hear the end of it) that for years she thought that in "Come Monday", Jimmy Buffett was singing,

"Come on, Dave, it'll be all right,
Come on Dave, I'll be holding you tight...."

Bet she was wondering why her dad played that DVD all the time.
