Today, I’d love for you to go back and read about some completely wrong lyrics I thought I knew, and hear what some of my readers had to say in an old post, which you can find here: WrongLyrics Contest.
However, I feel like I would be cheating in my 21 day blogging challenge, so I’ll tell you a little story that reminded me about that post, to begin with.
We were in the car the other day and “I Wear My Sunglasses at Night” came on and as I sang along, at the top of my lungs, Real Man looked at me and said “What song are you singing? Those words don’t even make sense!”
“I know,” I replied. “He must have been on crack when he wrote this song.”
Of course, when we got home, I immediately looked up the words, and I wasn’t even just sorta wrong.
My lyrics were WAY off.
But, I like ’em.
Listen to the song and read my lyrics. I think you’ll agree, they are not so bad.
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Watch you weave and breathe to story land.
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of visions in my eyes.
While, she’s deceiving me.
She cuts my security, and
She got control of me,
I turn to her and say.
Don’t push the play on the sky and share the war
Don’t masquerade with the sky and share the war
I can’t believe it
You got it made with the sky and share the war.
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Forget my name while you collect your fee.
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
See the love that’s right before my eyes.
While, she’s deceiving me.
She cuts my security, and
She got control of me,
I turn to her and say.
Don’t push the play on the sky and share the war
Don’t masquerade with the sky and share the war
I can’t believe it
Don’t be afraid of the sky and share the war.
Cuz you’ve got it made with the sky and share the war.
I wear my sunglasses at night

You can look up the real lyrics, but I think mine are better.
I mean, it’s a song from the 80’s.
Everything was about the Cold War.
Corey Hart just wanted us to share it.
With the sky.
Apparently.
Now, go read the old post, and come back and tell me about some of your misheard lyrics in the comments below.
I bet you, like me, are a way better songwriter than any of these so-called “musicians.”
It is so funny! I tested my self & think I got closer. But – I agree. He was on crack when he wrote the song.
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Watch you reach and (lalalalala)
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of visions in my eyes.
While, she’s deceiving me.
She cuts my security, and
She’s got control of me,
I turn to her and say.
Don’t push around the guy in shades- oh no.
Don’t mess around with the guy in shades No More!
I can’t believe it
You got it made with the guy in shades and more
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Forget my name while you collect your ???. CREER?
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
See the love that’s right before my eyes.
While, she’s deceiving me.
She cut my security.
Had she got control of me,
I’d turn to her and say.
Don’t push around the guy in shades oh no.
Don’t mess around with the guy no more.
I can’t believe it
Don’t be afraid of the guy in shades oh no.
I’m kind of scared
Cuz you’ve got it made with the guy in shades no more.
I wear my sunglasses at night

Even the real words don’t make any sense. People bash Taylor Swift, but at least her songs tell an actual story that you can follow! 🙂
