So, along with photography, music is and has been a large part of my life for many years. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen the musical The Sound of Music and sung along. I grew up participating in choirs and such. Once I got to high school, I even joined the show choir! I spent two years in the all-girls group, Sound Unlimited, and one in the mixed show choir, The Music Machine (shown in the picture above which I borrowed from showchoir.com as I only have hard copies.) Bonus points if you can figure out which one is me lol. While the clique-y girls drove me nuts at times, I love to sing and we even had the opportunity to travel to Europe and perform in various venues (schools, retirement homes, and even in a pub/brewery lol). In fact, I can say that I am a member of the first show choir to ever perform at EuroDisney!
Before I took up singing, there were piano lessons (starting at age 6) which I truly wish I had continued. I discovered jazz in college and so wished I could be a jazz musician, but I just don't have the talent...sigh. I later attempted to learn guitar, but haven't kept up with that either. I still have my guitar though. Yet another hobby to work with:)
Now my involvement is usually limited to discovering new bands and music that I love...and singing along in the car of course!
In the spirit of the music post, I thought I would include some misheard song lyrics from two different sources noted below. Enjoy!

LOLOL!!!
These lyrics are a hoot!
My daughter started singing a Jame's Blount song - No more Playmobile, no Playmobile! She sang in the supermarket when I told her she couldn't have a playmobile toy.
The song was playing in the loudspeakers.
I cracked up and gave her the toy.
I still have no idea what the real lyrics are.
I love music and lyrics!! They play a big part of my life as well.
I'm more likely to mishear the lyrics than hear them correctly these days. It's so nuts, but hey then we can sing what we want to sing:) I don't think my mistakes have been quite so amusing though! When I saw the one one book in the bookstore, I went looking for the others. Now I have 3 somewhere floating around...
And Kelley, lyrics are just like quotes to me! I just have to be careful if I want to quote from songs because I sometimes end up with the whole song lol.
