(Mis)Understood Lyrics

The inner thirteen year old girl in me still enjoys some of MTV. I confess I watch 'The Hills' religiously. When I wake up early, I lay on the couch and watch terrible rap videos. I can't help it. It's something that I've done for awhile.

So when I realized that I'd miss the MTV Movie Awards, I set my DVR to tape the re-run (since they seem to do it like 80 times after the thing originally airs).

I'm not going to go into how lame they were (for God's sake, Zac Efron beat Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, AND Michael Cera for Best Newcomer). What caught my attention and launched me off my couch for my cell phone was the new Pussycat Dolls song -- which they 'premiered' at the awards.



When it opened, all I could think was how Nicole Whats-her-name finally realized that she can't make it in music without her girls and while I hate her, part of that 13-year-old girl inside loves the PCD. As trampy as they look, their music is really quite fun. But that's not the point of this post.

The point is this...this is the chorus as I heard it:
When I grow up, I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star.
I wanna be in movies.
When I grow up, I wanna see the world.
Drive nice cars.
I wanna have boobies.

The thing that sent me into hysterics is obviously the last line there. Depending on which lyrics site you choose, I'm not the only one who heard the word 'boobies.' Though other lyrics sites will tell you it's not boobies, but 'GROUPIES.'

Which leads me to decide that I'm going to continue obnoxiously singing this song with the word 'boobies' in it. Because for real. Would the PCD be around without their racks? They're constantly being fined by various channels and stations for 'forgetting' to wear underwear when they perform live. And let's face it. Boobies get you groupies. So you better have nice boobs before you get famous (or during...when you can pay for some salene if you know what I'm saying). That and plastic surgery is such a 'huge' thing (How I love 'Nip/Tuck').

All of this reminds me of a babysitting stint I had one time...I was watching my cousin Danielle (who was like 4 at the time). We were sitting on the couch when she practically felt me up and went, "When I get older, I want some boobies too." Humiliating...yes, but it seems the PCD (or whoever writes their songs) felt the exact same way.
