SONG: Call Me
ARTIST: Randy Muller
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
Though your girlfriend's a friend of mine
Here's my number and a dime, call me anytime
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
Though your girlfriend's a t.v. reporter
Here's my number and a quarter, call me McWhorter
|
| * 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! |
