I don't know what was running through my young mind when I heard the radio. Seriously. As I have stated before, I thought "Little Red Corvette" was "Limited Collect". Apparently I did not listen closely to the lyrics--for crying out loud, he talks about the car the whole song.
Then there was the Billy Ocean song "Caribbean Queen". I was still off on the lyrics; but then again, there is no indication of anything specifically Caribbean in the song except that she is the queen thereof. It's a song about a girl, mostly I can only recall the whistle in the second verse. Anyway, my immature ears never heard him sing "Caribbean queen; rather, I heard "Marry you quick." Sure--those two phrases sound so alike.
I should have known that it was NOT "marry you quick" because that would be grammatically incorrect. It should be "marry you quickly." Then again, as my husband says whenever I verbally edit the grammar of a pop song, "it's poetic license." [By the way--you and I is proper for nominative case; you and me for objective case.]
So, in conclusion, maybe he wants to marry the Caribbean Queen quickly, maybe he doesn't, but at least I know for certain that they're sharing the same dream. Dreams. Something.
