Nickelback Croons About Books

by

I’m a very lyrical person. I memorize even the lyrics and tunes of TV commercials just by overhearing it a few times. This may explain why I get so geeky excited (I’m easily entertained) over songs that mention things - anything - that I like. I smile over songs with my name in it, vegetarian mentions, or nostalgic mementos.

Listening to the radio today, I was reminded that there are songs out there with books, novels, and fiction woven in.

Nickelback compared their love life to books in the second verse of Someday:

“Now the story’s played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror”

Seal’s words in Kiss from a Rose were commonly misunderstood as a book reference. Where his lyrics read: “To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny”; listeners (me and my mom) often heard: “To me it’s like you wrote a dictionary, don’t you know?”

Can you think of any more?
