Lyrics: Outkast's The Whole World

I love me some Outkast.

What?  Someone had a heart attack?

Yeah, I know.  It is possible for a throwback-to-standards girl to love other music.

The first time I heard the song, "The Whole World," I heard these lyrics:

And the whole, world, loves it when you're in the nude. 
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)


Yeah, um...the lyrics are actually And the whole, world, loves it when you're in the news.

Oops!

Well kiss my grits! Who knew? I, too, love me some Outkast, going back to the Ms Jackson and Rosa Parks days.

My favorite Outkast song is "B.O.B.," but, for lyrical weirdness, it doesn't get better than "Hey Ya." It's such a happy sounding song, but the lyrics are pretty depressing:

"If what they say is 'nothing lasts forever,'
Then what makes love the exception?"
