Our whole family loves listening to music.
The kids have their taste, Jason has his, and I have mine.
Like a boolean chart, there are overlapping sections,
but we all have our own individual favorites.
One of my favorites is Mr. A to Z -- Jason Mraz. (you may know him as "The Geek in the Pink")
This guy's music is San Diego toe-tappin, head-bobbin', eyes-closed-grinnin' good times.
(The fact that he kissed me on the cheek doesn't hurt, either!)
But his latest song had me frustrated. This song,
"I'm Yours" is FABULOUS!
The minute I heard it, I wanted to write a big fat blog post talking about how much
I adore this guy's music, but dag nab it, there was a word in there that was just
bugging the living daylights out of me!
It's not a bad word -- nothing parental controls would need to zap away -- but it just
went against a lot of what I treasure in my life, and it made me wonder,
"Why the heck did he use that word? Did it just fit the rhythm of the song better?
Is there some meaning I'm not getting?"
If I ever have the chance to just chill at the beach with him, I want to ask him
all about it (after or before our little harmonious jam session, either way).
Rewind the timeline to last month when I was in New York City.
I had the TV on in my hotel room, and there was Ellen,
telling me Jason Mraz was coming up next to sing his new song.
Of course, I sat back and watched, toe tapping, head bopping, eyes-closed grinning.
THEN, he got to that word that bugs me... AND, HE CHANGED IT!!!
I was SO HAPPY!!! The new word he used is SO SO SO SO SO much better!
I was BIG-TIME-GRINNING then!
Here's where you can win a $10 iTunes card. Shoot, you deserve by just getting to
the end of this babble, but I'm still gonna make you work for it!
Tell me what word he changed!
Here's the Ellen clip:
The first person to post a comment on the blog saying which word he changed
when he sang "I'm Yours" on Ellen will win a free $10 iTunes gift card!
(be sure to include the email address you use for iTunes!)
And Mraz, if you're reading this and want to elaborate, feel free!
Good luck!
