IBM Watson (super Computer) Mondegreens and Rock and Roll!
Mondegreens. I had never heard of that word until I got an email the other day. I had to look it up. It means “a misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing of the lyrics of a song.” We all have done that. Hear one thing but think it says another thing. Remember “Blinded by the Light”? Perfect example of misinterpreted lyrics.
Enter IBM Watson and a team of Scientists. A super computer. Remember it took on two of the smartest Jeopardy contestants and won back in 2011. It was recently given in a sort of non scientific rigorous way lyrics to interpret. Among the lyrics it was given was from songs by Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Sir Elton John and Van Halen!
For the shocking and somewhat humorous outcome go here. (You will have to scroll down the page some)

Mick Jagger at 72 schooling Taylor Swift in Nashville
It was a great duet together but Mick is a seasoned professional and who else can jump that high at 72 years old without breaking a hip??? Mick Wins! Taylor really needs to put some meat on her bones too. Way too thin in my opinion. Looks like a skateboard wrapped in electrical tape. 🙁

Taylor Swift car singing lol funny stuff!
Taylor swift. Love her or hate her she is here… And recently she has made the jump to “pop” radio with her album titled “1989”. Her hit “Shake it Off” is busting up HUGE. “Players’ gonna hate hate hate!” lol..Well, she recently released a video of herself lip-syncing to her own song “Blank Space “while enjoying a car ride. Obviously the video is staged of course, her guy friend takes his hands off the wheel for an extended period of time but the video is cute and funny. Check it out!

Taylor Swift “channeling” Toni Basil? Bringing back 1989!
lol. I think this is super cool!…Got to give her props when she can make fun of herself and have fun doing it! Her new pop album is called 1989…I am going with it’s because it was the year she was born. But enjoy a different and very hip side of Taylor Swift!
