Salem softness freshens your taste !. Breaths in fresh air with every puff !. Propaganda at its best, These old ads are so bad they’re funny.

Misheard lyrics: Kyrie, Mr Mister

December 25, 2007

Kyrie was a song written and released by Mr Mister in 1985. The song went to number 1 on the US and Canadian charts and number 11 on the UK charts. I have always liked the song and would often sing along to it if it came on the radio or TV.

I have to be honest though and say that I had my own mixed up version of what I thought the words for this song were.

The chorus for the song contains the lyrics, Kyrie Eleison, Down the road that I must travel. Kyrie Eleison, Through the darkness of the night. Kyrie Eleison, Where I’m going will you follow. Kyrie Eleison, On a highway in the light.

Kyrie Eleison, by the way is Greek for “Lord have mercy”.

The most common interpretation people make is, “Carry a laser” down this road that I must travel. My version was “Kyrie an angel”, down this road that I must travel.

Mr Mister also saw success with Broken Wings in 1985 which went to number 1 in the US and Canada and number 4 in the UK.

Xmas songs Part 1: Bruce Springsteen, John Lennon

December 24, 2007

It’s Christmas Eve here in Australia, so why not lets play a little Christmas music. I have just found some wonderful YouTube videos compiled by YouTube user Sirknott they are brilliantly done.

Santa Claus is coming to town: Bruce Springsteen

So some of you may have already realized that I’m a Bruce Springsteen fan, and I think many would agree that Bruce’s version of this song is one of the best.

Happy Xmas, War Is Over: John Lennon

What can you say about this song. Every year around Christmas when this song plays, It always makes me stop to reflect for a moment. Not to many songs can have this effect on a person.
