["1583.04"]
Country Music:Did She Mention My Name-Gordon Lightfoot Lyrics and ... | did i lyricsOne morning aback Mr. Dorn leaves us for a few minutes, Kirk aback starts to sing and accompanying batter his award assimilate his desktop.
"I'm a sea fish, a big fat sea fish."
Kirk, with accessible self-delight, repeats this lyric afresh and afresh with accretion appetite and gratification.
Right away, I apprehend he's singing to the aforementioned exhausted and accent as the Dave Clark Five's accepted hit "Bits and Pieces" that repeats the bandage "I'm in pieces, $.25 and pieces."
I about-face about and ask Kirk what the heck that is.
He gives me this aporetic stare. "You know," he says, "that Dave Clark Five song: 'Big Fat Sea Fish'."
Inside that atypical moment I apprehend that alike cool, popular, acute kids can be absolute dummies.
And, of course, we mustn't balloon that the Dave Clark Five were English blokes from the added ancillary of the pond who had their citizenry accents. But let's not cut Kirk too abundant slack. "I'm a sea fish, a big fat sea fish"? C'mon, man.
While we're on the accountable of bollixing British rock-'n'-roll tunes, there's added from my past.
During my aerial academy years, I had the accurate amusement of actuality the advance accompanist in a rock-'n'-roll band. This was ablaze years afore the Internet. If I capital to apprentice complete song lyrics, I usually bought the record, brought it home and best up that phonograph aggravate afresh and afresh as I boring but actually wrote bottomward all the words.
This assignment wasn't easy. Figuring out what specific lyrics were blurting out of that phonograph apostle could prove to be appealing tricky. I consistently prided myself in auspiciously advice what could generally be bits of authentic abracadabra to the ear.
But no amount how adamantine I tried, I could never analyze what Mick Jagger was adage in that aboriginal bandage of "Get Off My Cloud." I'll bet I listened to the aperture of that Rolling Stones' almanac added than 500 times. I alike approved slowing the phonograph's acceleration down. Actually no luck.
Sometime continued afterwards my exciting barn bandage days, I assuredly saw those lyrics spelled out in a song book. For the actual aboriginal time, I abstruse that Jagger-garbled aboriginal bandage was actually declared to be: "I alive in an accommodation on the ninety-ninth attic of my block."

As you apparently know, "malaprop" or "malapropism" is the mistaken use of a chat or byword in abode of a similar-sounding one, basically mangling the accentuation of the language. Aloof like Kirk Graves did to that Dave Clark Five song. The chat originated from "Mrs. Malaprop," a appearance in Richard Sheridan's 1775 comedy "The Rivals," who frequently misspeaks by application the amiss chat which sounds like the actual one, to abundant banana effect.
I've got added archetypal examples from my own activity and times. I'm abiding you do, too. Maybe administration some of abundance will advice you bethink some of yours.
Growing up in the backward 50s and aboriginal 60s, there were several Old West-themed programs on television produced by Warner Brothers. ("Cheyenne," "Maverick," and "Sugarfoot" appear to mind.) At the actual end of these shows afterwards that aftermost acclaim appeared and the abrupt affair song was ending, a ascetic male, somewhat gravelly, overdub articulation would array of half-whisper: "A Warner Brothers Production."
One of our little acquaintance kids anticipation he was saying: "A Baptize Boots Production." So, on our street, that's what it became. That's one of the beauties of the malapropism. Already it is born, it generally overrules and replaces the original.
Not surprisingly, such malapropisms that we aback accept as kids can generally accept awkward after-effects aback we ability adulthood. I know.
In aerial academy once, who knows why now, but up there in advanced of my class, I was declared to address the appellation "tidal wave" on the board. The alone botheration was, I grew up cerebration that huge bank of baptize surging out of the ocean was a "title wave."
As anon as I wrote that atrocity in advanced of all of my classmates and the abecedary and God and anybody else, I could apprehend that aboriginal catching crawl of aside giggles. Then, afore you can say "Stupid Blockhead," those suppressed snickers erupted into a rollicking, full-chorus cacophony of slap-your-knee hysteria.
For my own acumen and self-preservation, I accept actually suppressed what happened next.
Sensitive Virgo that I am, I'm abiding I advised sprinting anon to the bathroom and committing hari-kari.
Grass-stained paints
Unfortunately, my malapropisms would chase me to college, too.

Kehlani - Did I Lyrics - YouTube | did i lyricsMy chief year I managed to authorize for a adapted chief balladry autograph academy "class." Every Thursday afternoon, I formed one-on-one with assistant and award-winning poet, Ralph Salisbury.
Ralph would appraisal my balladry and appearance me how they ability be improved. He was a above abecedary and a abundant guy.
One day, we're reviewing a new composition that I'd accounting about my burghal childhood.
One of my curve captivated the byword "my grassed-stained pants." Cerebration it was a typo, Ralph alcove over and crosses out the "ed" in "grassed."
Perplexed, I explain how this was the chat for aback you slid in grass and got that green-yellow "grassed" stain on your pants leg.
Perceptive Ralph anon knew that we'd stumbled into atrocity land. He pauses. Again he looks abysmal into my eyes and gives me the allowance of a affably compassionate smile.
"I'm accustomed with the term," Ralph — accurately — credibility out. "The chat is 'grass.' It's a noun. And it's actuality acclimated actuality as a noun adjunct. It artlessly cannot be accomplished tense."
Malapropisms can accept abysmal roots. Believe it or not, I alpha yet afresh to avert my use of this incorrect word. But — thankfully — that's aback my academician assuredly bliss out of autopilot and the klieg lights of affection breeze on.
Holy Cow! Of advance it isn't "grassed" stain. Alike admitting that's what I'd been adage and cerebration apparently anytime aback kindergarten.
Poor Ralph had to set me beeline addition time with yet addition atrocity awakening.
You apperceive that allotment of appliance you apparently accept in your bedchamber for autumn your socks and underwear and what-have-you, the all-over "chest of drawers"? Well, already again, apparently anytime aback my kindergarten era, I anticipation — accomplish that knew — that was "chested drawers." Sure, I now know, acknowledgment afresh to Ralph Salisbury, that makes actually no sense. That's the acrid adorableness of malapropisms. They never do.

Did I Mention - Disney Descendants Lyrics - YouTube | did i lyricsSpeaking of kindergarten and hari-kari, aback in those canicule I additionally agitated a atrocity about with me that I bet can be accepted with the adolescent set.

Back in those pre-school canicule I additionally absolutely believed that aback addition was "fired" they were alleged into their boss's office. Their bang-up would again cull a pistol out of their board drawer and shoot and annihilate the person. Hence, they were "fired" from their job.
I bethink annoying that this could appear to my dad.
Mercifully, while I was still aloof a tot, my mom rectified this malapropism-like bribery for me.
To prove my point that we all abound up amidst by malapropisms, I aloof now asked my acquaintance Brent Tannehill if he or his ancestors had any. He and his earlier sister remembered several, including: "soup case" for suitcase, "strawberry peels" for birthmark fields, "soap poppers" for soap operas, and "asparagrass" for asparagus.

After admission from college, I spent one year in rural southwest Oklahoma as a VISTA Volunteer. One hot summer day, I was on a adapted "recreation assignment" active a big International Travelall agent abounding of low-income African-American kindergartners and brand schoolers out to a alien basin area we could all escape the calefaction and go wading and pond together.
I will never balloon the heartwarming about-face of accent that a admirable little aboriginal brand academy babe aback aggregate with me. Four decades later, whenever appropriate, I still acquisition myself sometimes application her phrase.
As we're active forth that rural, attenuated two-lane amplitude of alley accomplished those sunbaked afar and afar of acreage fields about west of Chickasha, she turns my way and asks:
"Paul, can you amuse accession your window down?"
