SONG: Love on a Rooftop
ARTIST: Cher
ORIGINAL LYRIC:
We used to talk
Delivered on a dime
Now we live together
Never find the time
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION:
We used to talk
We'd hardly ever heckle
Now we live together
Shackled by the shekels
|
| * 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! |
