SONG: Slow Motion
ARTIST: Blondie
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
Slow motion you can stop on a dime
Slow motion you ought to try it sometime
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
Slow motion you sedately escort her
Slow motion you ought to lend her a quarter
|
| * 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! |
