SONG: A Heart in New York
ARTIST: Simon and Garfunkel
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
New York, you got money on your mind
And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference,
so here's to you New York
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
New York, you built change into your charter
And my words won't make a quarter's worth a difference,
so here's to you New York
|
| * 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! |
