Today, my co-rokers, 3 great museum educators with 3 extra dollars to spend on a 3:30-4:30 p.m. rainy-day roke, cued up that terribly strained ballad that had Steven Tyler ending verses with rooster call sounds in the theme to the film Armaggeddon. The song if you're pretending you don't know it, is I Dont Wanna Miss A Thing, & the "thing" is a reference to the remainder of Liv Tyler's life that will be missed by Bruce Willis, the geologist-driller turned astronaut dad who dies in martyrdom saving us from the impending asteroid threat. Luckily, she gets concurrently Afflecked by true love.
The lyrics are as atrocious as you'd expect, & the only thing that could make them a little better to guffaw at while the whiny Aerosmith mimicry is pouring out of a wonderful friend is the appearance of a few great English language mistakes made by the Karaoke Lyric Transcriber (a job that ought to not even exist for obvious reasons). See below excerpts of the strangely incorrect way that I.D.W.M.a.T. lyrics read on the screen today at Karaoke Shout in Astoria.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I TRACTION
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The SWEET STREAM will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's SMEAL you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever...
...I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna HOLD YOUR CLOTHES
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the RESTTIME...
-G
