Say What?

Posted on June 15th, 2003 in General by minter

I got corrected on a long-misheard lyric recently. The song is “Drift Away”, by Dobie Gray, recently covered by Uncle Kracker. You know the song. The chorus goes:

Gimmie the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away.

For years and years, until Holly heard me singing it and set me straight, I thought they were saying:

Gimmie the Beach Boys and free my soul…

You learn something new every day.
