In our family, I'm usually the one who hears lyrics correctly. My wife, meanwhile, was fully aware that The Killers had a song entitled "Mr. Brightside," but still managed to think Brandon Flowers was singing, "I missed the bright side."
Today, however, she got her revenge. It turns out the Weezer song "Autopilot" is called that because Rivers Cuomo is singing, "Autopilot," not, "Out of my head."
I had been thinking Rivers wasn't too original with the titles of the songs on Death to False Metal. "There's 'Losing My Mind,' 'Blowing My Stack,' and 'Out of My Head,'" I thought. Actually, only two of those songs are on the album.
The entire family took turns rubbing my nose in it. Evidently they all knew he was singing "Autopilot" the whole time.
Happy Birthday to Jerome, Jerome the Metronome! Four years ago today long-time blog sufferer Erin came over in the middle of the night to stay with our two older kids while we went to the hospital to have Jerome. Thanks, Erin!

What about the "and thanks to my wife for pushing that baby out."
Well Nancy, you may have pushed the baby out, but I did the tough job of sleeping in your comfy bed with clean sheets!
