SONG: Homeboy
ARTIST: Coolio
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
If I got a quarter then you got a dime
And you can call me up no matter what the time
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
If I got a dollar then you got a quarter
And you can leave a message on my tape recorder
|
| * Payphones used to take dimes, but now they take quarters. Isn't
it time to update song lyrics to reflect the realities of
inflation? Alas, it's vastly easier to rhyme the word "dime" than
the word "quarter," but here at Inflationary Lyrics Headquarters we
have risen to the challenge. Please join the fun and share your
own inflationary lyrics, with both the "before" and "after" versions! |
