A Happy Enchilada

I think we’ve all fucked up lyrics of songs over the years. Put our own words in or guessed at them. I gave up trying to decipher certain vocalists over the years. Even with lyric sheets it’s impossible sometimes. CB is famous (in his own mind) for changing the words of songs. Substituting profanity in a lot of cases or just an easy rhyme. I guess it’s a way of personalizing the song. I’m sure that reading this you can think or are thinking of certain songs that fit the bill.

If you listen to the song below it’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about. When I first heard it I laughed my head off. I’ve continued to  laugh at it over the years. I think John Prine has that magic. The ability to make people laugh and feel good. I think it’s a gift and he has shared it with us for many years. I love the guy.
