So I hear a song I really like and ask my media specialist resource team (Toban and Katherine) who the artist is so I can get a copy of this great new song.Since I don't know who the singer is I give them the title: I'm a Singlet. Singing them a few bars isn't an option since I can't even make make 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' recognizable. (Yes really.)
They look puzzled and I try to retrieve from my middle-aged brain any other lyrics I can recall. Nope. All that comes to mind is the repeated refrain 'I'm a singlet.' Since we all watch Glee I tell them that it was performed on an earlier episode. I think. They look even more puzzled. And maybe a bit exasperated. However Katherine is determined to solve this musical mystery and finally has the answer: All the Single Ladies by Beyonce.
Mmhmmm. That's right. No where, no place anywhere in the song is the phrase, 'I'm a Singlet.' Nada. Nope. Zilch. It's actually 'All the Single Ladies.'
Katherine deserves a Sherlock Holmes Badge for being able to decipher this
puzzle.
Take a listen yourself and let me know what YOU hear:
