So at long last, we now have a designated area to highlight debatable or factually inaccurate song lyrics. For instance...

 

"Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon" - It most certainly does not, Vanessa.

 

"There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time" - Yes there will, they even have ski resorts.

 

And so on and so forth.

^Not to mention the likelihood of Sudan or Somalia, plus great swathes of Ethiopia itself (the countries the single was raising money for), actually "knowing" it's Christmas time at all - being almost overwhelmingly Islamic...

Whilst you're in Africa though Michael* - how about Africa by Toto?

The wild dogs cry out in the night

As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company

I know that I must do what's right

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

"Sure as" - although it's 200 miles away!

I suppose it was easier to embellish the facts in an era pre-Google Maps.

To be fair to Katie Melua, she did eventually backtrack and record a factually accurate version of the song.

"If I go there will be trouble and if I stay it will be double"  - Clearly, you should go. Lesser of two evils.

It's been so long since I last thought about this topic. While I'm here, a few more...

 

“Thunder only happens when it's raining” - You shouldn't need to be a meteorologist to know that's not the case.
 
“We don’t need no education” - The double negative might suggest otherwise.
 
''All I need is the air that I breathe'' - Have a word with a dietician if you believe that.

I love doing exercise and going to the gym :)
