lol io just read this on the internet- When You Wrote Me Off Like Iowans Do This Clay Aiken lament proves that mondegreens are alive and well in popular music lyrics By: John Shepler One of the things that I loved about Clay Aiken during the American Idol competition was his clear, distinct voice on music lyrics. As soon as his first album length CD, "Measure of a Man", was available, I got a copy and popped it in the car's CD player. Once again, I was enjoying the clarity of Clay Aiken's voice in stereophonic brilliance. I knew the songs were specially selected to produce a work of creativity and high class music. Imagine my shock when halfway through the CD I heard him sing: "And when you wrote me off like Iowans do...." What could Iowans possibly have against Clay Aiken? His clean cut charms seem tailor made for Midwestern values. I thought it was only presidential candidates who got pummeled in Iowa. I listened again. It sure sounded like the Hawkeye State was more than a little disgusted with the American Idol finals. I pointed out this fact to my wife, sitting next to me in the car. "You idiot," she exclaimed, "like I was doomed. He's singing "when you wrote me off like I was doomed" not like Iowans do. The song's got nothing to do with Iowans." lmao
