Stevie Wonder, you DON'T want to see what AZLYRICS did to your song

Christ, some of these fucking "lyrics" sites that steal the words and FUCK THEM UP.

"So, what do YOU do for a living, Mr. Parasite?" "Well, I illegally use lyrics, have typos and misquotes in most every song, and make money off banner ads and hot links."

The other night, ol' Dave Letterman had Stevie Wonder on. He insisted that Wonder do "Fingertips," a corny, crappy song from OVER 50 fucking years ago. Wonder said that he couldn't possibly sing as high as he did when he was "Little Stevie," but, with the help of an awful "magic" microphone that fucked with pitch, he gave it an atrocious rendition. The audience of white zombies clapped along, and the gap-toothed host grinned with glee.

It had me recalling my favorite Stevie Wonder song, and it wasn't some piece of drivel that the Jackson Five could've done. Nor was it the lame-brained "My Cherie Amour." It was "Living for the City." I even went over and got the Innervisions CD, and played it out of nostalgia. Later (today) I wanted to check a lyric line and I discovered all the competing idiot websites that claimed to have the real deal.

First off, even the stupidest karaoke Jap in a drunken Tokyo bar wouldn't need to be coached on "ee ha" and "um hum" and "ooh ooh," which aren't, of course, remotely the soulful sounds Stevie Wonder made on the recording. The red dots note the pathetic attempts to depict grunts and moans.

Secondly, is it possible to get the actual LYRICS right?

"He spends his love walking the streets of New York City?"

No, it's "he spends his LIFE..."

And it's "nowhere" not "no where," etc. etc. etc.

And spelling it "sho 'nuff" is just...well...you DON'T do that, even if he sang that.

As for some lines that they got right, which seem wrong, well, remember, THE MAN IS BLIND.

Only a blind man is going to say "her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy."

STURDY? Anybody with sight going to compliment a woman on having STURDY legs?

You can rationalize: "Oh well, that's to rhyme that her clothes are never "dirty."

Except Wonder didn't seem to care that in the same stanza "pretty" doesn't rhyme with "early."

Nice of AZLYRICS to have a hot link where you can "submit corrections" to help them make money and pretend they know what they're doing.

Gutless wonders, these people. At least, I would think so. MAGGOTS rhymes with FAGGOTS.
