The superb Anna Kendick sings the great song “Cups,” aka “When I’m Gone,” in the excellent movie Pitch Perfect.
The true lyrics include:
“You’re gonna miss me by my walk, you’re gonna miss me by my talk, oh”
But didn’t you hear?
“You’re gonna miss me by my walk, you’re gonna miss me by my taco”
I mean who wouldn’t hear “taco?”
“Talk, oh” sounds exactly like “taco.” It does! It really does. And why not? The tasty taco is the world’s greatest food.
Eating something other than a taco is like cheating on your true love. So, is it any wonder that the incredible Ms. Kendrick sings about the divine taco? Is it any wonder we miss a woman with a taco?
