Mis-heard Lyrics

"Salsa Cookies", yummo!

So the Iggy Azalea song "Black Widow"...

I just found out last week that she wasn't saying "I'm a Black Widdle Baby."....

That is wonderful.

Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi

Fortune, Empress of the World

1. O Fortuna
(Chorus)

O Fortune

O Fortuna,
velut Luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.

O Fortune!
Like the moon
ever-changing,
rising first
then declining;
hateful life
treats us badly
then with kindness
making sport with our desires,
causing power
and poverty alike
to melt like ice.

Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.

Dread destiny
and empty fate,
an ever-turning wheel,
who make adversity
and fickle health
alike turn to nothing,
in the dark
and secretly
you work against me;
how through your trickery
my naked back
is turned to you unarmed.

Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria.
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!

Good fortune
and strength
now are turned from me.
Affection
and defeat
are always on duty.
Come now,
pluck the strings
without delay;
and since by fate
the strong are overthrown
weep ye all with me.

I am flooded with tears now and I thank you for that!

Nice video. That clears so many things up.

I was 6 years old when this song was released (roughly 15 years before the internet was widely accessible and available to the public). Having recently rediscovered the song, I started laughing when I heard, "I took you to an internet restaurant" (about 0:30 seconds in).

The actual word she sings is "intimate." It's funny how the brain adapts over time to hearing certain things over others.
