Two Things
Mar. 9th, 2005 11:34 amFirst: I love how obscure WebMD can be when it comes to drug information - especially for newer drugs. I went to look up the information on Keppra and under the section on how a drug work it says (I swear, I'm not making this up): It is not known how this drug works.
I suppose that sounds better than saying that it works by conjuring up black magick or Santeria rituals - or the more apt (and angsty), "fuck if we know - it just does."
Second: I've seen some of my friends posting their own mondegreens (mis-heard lyrics) in their blogs, so I'm going to post one that I have been guilty of for a long long time.
There's a kid's song called "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean", or something along those lines. It's sung like a sea shanty, and I would always sing it, "My Body lies over the ocean/ My Body lies over the sea ... Bring back, bring back, bring back my body to me, to me!"
Turns out that it's actually "My Bonnie lies over the ocean/ My Bonnie lies over the sea ... Bring back, bring back, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me!"
No matter what, I still prefer my version. Even if it is quite morbid.
