...things that annoy me...
Before I go any further, this post is not about what you think it is- so get yer mind outta the gutter. It's about the classic rock song, Rock You Like a Hurricane by The Scorpions
Why does this song annoy me? Why do I have to change the station every time this song comes on the radio? Why has my husband gotten sick and tired of hearing me rant about this song?
Because hurricanes don't rock, they blow. Hurricanes are driven by wind - wind blows.
It's scientific fact. Seriously. Go look it up if you don't believe me.
Now, a better phrase would have been Rock You Like an Earthquake. Why? Earthquakes are made from rocks shifting and grinding. They cause the earth to rumble and shake beneath your feet. The whole thing is driven by rocks. Therefore, if something in nature is rocking...most likely it's caused by an earthquake.
So to clarify:
Earthquakes Rock
Hurricanes Blow
I will accept one of the two lyrics in substitution:
Rock you like an earthquake
or
Blow you like a hurricane.
The next time you sing along with this song, please substitute one of the above lyrics and show your support for scientific accuracy in rock music.
