Sometimes I give my English tuition students CDs of songs for them to figure out the lyrics and explain them to me.
Me: How was the song? Managed to figure it out?
Student: what's the meaning of "if you fuck with my grip I won't hesitate to let off a clip."
Me: WHAT?
And then I realise I passed him the wrong cd. The intended song was "I don't want to be" by Gavin DeGraw.
I can't believe the kid insisted I explain the unintended song to him. And I can't believe I did despite the parental advisory label.

Hmmm... what was the original song? HOw ironic that it got swapped with a self-righteous Gavin De Graw Album. Haha.
Hey Ron,
How've you been? Didn't know you read my blog. The mistaken song he heard was Position of Power by 50 cent.
But that's not too damaging I think, other songs he could have heard on that CD included those by Lil Jon etc, with such unlikely titles as "stop fucking wit me"
