Why do I have Steve Perry's (or is it Journey's?) "Oh Sherry" stuck in my head? If I only had an electric screwdriver, I'd bore that song out of my brain. There are just so many reasons why that song deserves to be flushed down the toilet and never heard from again. If the cheesy keyboard played on the higher end intro doesn't get you, the misheard lyrics will. When you're jamming out to that song in your car, do you honestly think that you're singing the correct words?

"Oh Sherry, our love/Holds on, holds on"
can be heard as
"Oh Sherry, all alone/Hose on, hose on"
or
"Oh Sherry, I'm in Love/Hosanna, Hosanna."

"Should of been gone"
can be heard as
"Cinammon gum"

And if the incorrect lyrics don't get you, the rockin guitar solo/outro meets keyboard plucking will every time.

*sigh*

I'll post the lyrics below so this pop-music abomination can be stuck in your head also.

Oh Sherry
by Steve Perry

You should've been gone
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over

Oh Sherry, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh Sherry, our love
Holds on, holds on

But I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be

But you know that there's a fever
Oh that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin' on and on

(chorus)

But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know just why you stay

(chorus)

Oh Sherry, our love
Holds on, holds on
