This feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too
I got a secret for you.... I LOOOOOOVE YOU, PETER!
Peter Gabriel and Hot Chip recently covered Vampire Weekend’s Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa. All the cool kids have been loving on Vampire Weekend throughout 2008, and the song actually mentions Peter Gabriel by name in its lyrics.
It feels so unnatural to sing your own name, doesn’t it Peter?
Here’s Vampire Weekend with the original Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa:
Is that a keytar?!

looking back
Everybody’s working for the weekend
This week brought us labor day, Gustav, and the passing of Don LaFontaine and Jerry Reed. Jon Bon Jovi is building some stuff in Newark, New Jersey, and Kid Rock is gung ho about the National Guard (not enough to enlist, though, I’ll bet). We also were reminded of some classic misheard lyrics. And while Matt professed his love for fajitas at On The Border, Jamie expressed his desire to live on the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch later-in-life.
I wanna touch the light fajita in your eyes
Hootie & The Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranches
Snowman… You got yer ears on, good buddy?
She seems to have an invisible talk show
Who says you can’t build homes… in Newark?
In a world… without Don LaFontaine’s movie voice
Army National Guard commercial with Kid Rock, in theaters now

misheard lyrics
I wanna touch the light fajita in your eyes
Remember that scene in Say Anything where John Cusack is holding a boom-box above his head an “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel is playing? I think people have a hard time not picturing this image whenever the song comes on the radio. I know I usually do.
Well, thanks to Bill’s recent comment on another misheard lyrics post about another member of Genesis, I will now also forever associate the word “fajita” with this song. Because, as Bill pointed out, it’s in the chorus.That’s fine though, because fajitas are delicious. Jamie and I are big fans of chain-restaurant-i-fied tex-mex in general, and I think I speak for both of us when I say that we are big fans of On The Border. We’ve been known to go there on occasion. While he almost always orders the Superior Dinner, I almost always order the fajitas. His dinner thinks it’s so much better than mine, but it’s so not.
By the transitive relation, I wonder now if eating fajitas will make me think of John Cusack, Peter Gabriel, and/or Say Anything.
Thanks a lot Bill.
