So we were talking about Mariah Carey because Evie decided to practice her high pitched shrieking skills all day today.  Sara admitted that she only learned as an adult that the lyrics to Dreamlover are “Won’t you please / come around / ’cause I wanna share forever with you baaaaaby”.  Until that point she thought the lyrics went, “Won’t you please / come around / ’cause I wanna sheva weva with you baaaaaby”.

Now we’ve all gotten song lyrics wrong at some point, so it’s not that funny I guess, but this just really cracked me up!

I asked her, “What did you think sheva weva meant?” and she not only said, “a dance or something” but she actually demonstrated the specific dance that she thought sheva weva referred to!  I mean, sure I can understand not getting the words right, but it is so fantastic that she thought she had the words right and that Mariah just made up a phrase to refer to dancing.  That just slayed me.

So don’t forget to ask Sara to “sheva weva” next time you see her. 🙂
