azurelunatic: "enjoy Cock-Cola" (Cock-Cola)
So one of the songs that the kids these days are listening to -- wait, I'm not old enough to say that? I'm listening to it on my own? -- Well then. One of the songs getting commercial radio airplay, then, is "It's Time", by Imagine Dragons.

I had given the song not much of a detailed thought. It had a fun bouncy sound, which sounds a bit like hammered dulcimer or some similar impact-on-strings instrument, unless I entirely miss my guess. Then at a red light the chorus came on, and I had a few spare brain cycles to try to make words out of the audio, and this is what I heard:

"It's time to begin, is it in,
I get a little bit bigger than this, I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am."


I nearly snorted coke out my nose. I could absolutely not believe it. I mean, all sorts of amazing things get written, and get airplay, but ... usually at rush hour it's a little more subtle!

Sadly, as these things often go, the internet provided lyrics that were not obscene at all.

"It’s time to begin, isn’t it, I get a little bit
Bigger, but then, I’ll admit, I’m just the same as I was
now don’t you understand
That I’m never changing who I am."


My version still makes me wonder about the characters who have started attaching themselves to it, though, and whether or not I know them. I think I'll keep them around a while.
