I heard this song for the first time, and I kept hearing
My lover’s got no money, he’s got his thrombolyse
Turns out it was “strong beliefs”, and not a medical term

I used to sing Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong as “Pyramids, pyramids, pyramids, pyramids can’t be wrong”.
Also, in Africa, I definitely thought they said “rises like a lepress (like a female leopard) above the Serengeti”. The real lyric is “Olympus”.
I love that lyric, it’s so supid.
Mount Olympus (assuming we’re talking the one in Greece and not the one on Mars) is like 3,000 feet tall, Kilimanjaro is 7,000 feet tall. Kilimanjaro would put Olympus to shame, except Olympus is whiter than Kilimanjaro.
Also, you can’t see Kilimanjaro from the Serengeti. There’s a small area where the summit is above the horizon but the air is too hazy.
Even more reason why it should have been a lepress!
Also, if he knows he must do what’s right “as sure as Kilimanjaro rises… above the Serengetil”, and it doesn’t, I guess that means that he must not do what’s right? Or only a little bit, and it’s a bit hazy… 😋
Thanks for the great info!
I think I’ve read that it was either intentionally written kind of dumb, like it sounds poetic but it’s the kind of thing a white guy who has never been to Africa would say.
Untill this day, I thought it was lepress too.
It makes more sense as the mountain isn’t even located there to begin with
With Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong I used to hear “ain’t nobody gonna come when your sound is gone” instead of “when you sound your gong”.
Yes, me too for that part too.
