Lyric Police

My husband is an official member of the Lyric Police.  I am constantly getting lyric fines. Nick doesn't understand how it is possible that I can get the lyrics to songs so wrong.

Maybe it's cause I don't sit on the internet and find out what the real lyrics are. Anyway I happen to think that sometimes my lyrics are way better than the original...or at least funnier.

What are your best and worst incorrect lyrics. Here are some of my classics.

ACDC - Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap

Mel Lyrics - Dirty deeds, Thunder Sheep

Yeah so I thought this song was about doing bad things to sheep, cue aussies taking the piss out of me as a kiwi.

Ini Kamoze - Here Comes the Hotstepper

Mel Lyrics - Here comes the hotstepper, I'm the leprechaun gangsta

Picture it, whats cooler than a mini ginger gangsta

Skrillex - Bangarang

Mel Lyrics - Laser Rays (instead of Bangarang)

Yes I did know the song is called Bangarang, but I thought those lyrics were right and that's why there were so many shooting laser gun sound effects.  I would even pull out my air guns and shoot my laser rays around the room.

And it's not just me, recently on Triple J a guy called in saying he thought the lyrics to the new Calvin Harris song, Sweet Nothing was: "You're giving me sexy gherkin" I definitely prefer this version when I play the song.

What are your favourite wrong song lyrics? Tell me you have some are you're not a member of the Lyric Police...

Katchafire - On The Road Tour

I live in Mackay, it's a small regional mining town in Queensland.  A place, where nothing really exciting ever happens. So when a kiwi mate posted that Katchafire was coming to Mackay I didn't really believe it. Seriously Katchafire, in Mackay??

Turns out that Mackay has a large Kiwi contigent, alot of Maori people.  It was also held at the MECC (one of the biggest venues in Mackay) and I was a little worried, that maybe it would be too large, even though I fully understand the awesomeness of this great kiwi reggae band.

So I bought ticket for Nick and I and their latest album and last Thursday I took my heavily preggo self to the concert.

Katchafire themselves were amazing as always, the sweet crooning of their five current vocalists, the swaying jazz sax from Jamey Fergusson and bongo beats from Leon Davey. Just had you immersed in that relaxed reggae vibe that is quintessentially Kiwi.

The only downside was the way that the event was setup. 10 metres of dancing room and then about 40 rows of seating. A small group of people could get ridiculously close to band and have their sweet head bopping on, but you'd then turn around to see a few hundred people just sitting there. Then further back another dancing space with tables, meant that usually sweaty atmosphere that a live gig provided felt detached and a little lonely. To be honest I was enjoying the extra room to shake my oversized booty but it was a little disappointed in the setup.

We even got to meet and take a photo with Jamey Fergusson afterwards where my darling, slightly drunken husband tried to get him to sign "his son" (still currently in my belly), "Yeah right" I screamed "Keep that vivid away from me"

I still claim that Revival is one of my favourite all time albums. I know that words to EVERY SONG. But check out some of singles from their latest - On the Road.

Get Your Groove On Friday - Part 2

I'm totally smitten on this song right now. Love it. Love the beat.  It does talk alot about titties.

Frank Ocean - Lost
