Did I Hear That Right?

Before the internet gave me the ability to Google things like "lyrics to [song]" or "what song has the words ...." I very rarely got the lyrics right.

Often, I would sit down with my tape cassette (later, a CD) and replay segments of a song over and over, writing down words as I heard (and confirmed) them, to ensure that I had the complete full lyrics. Needless to say, this was not the most efficient method.

Finally, sites like Lyrics.com started popping up, allowing me to make some important clarifications:


Zedd - Clarity

You are a piece of meat, I wish I didn't eat
You are the piece of me, I wish I didn't need


Jay Z & Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind

I've become a wet dream tomato
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of


Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On  ((courtesy of my brother's misinterpretation)

You got me going crazy, Mariah, Mariah
You got me going crazy, Turn me on, Turn me on


Fortunately, I am not the only one who has suffered in the absence of access to verified lyrics.
