one maniac
The BF comes bounding through our apartment singing:
"These are the days ... doot doot do doot ..."
Me: Whatcha singing?
BF: You know that song.
He launches into another rendition of the chorus.
Me: Not sure I know that one.
BF. Yeah you do. It's the Indigo Girls! It's like their most popular song.
Me. long pause
BF. Jeez.
A few days later, the scene repeats.
BF: (singing) These are the days ... doot doot do doot.
Me: I still don't know that song.
BF: Yeah you do. It's the Indigo Girls.
Me: I think it's actually 10,000 Maniacs.
I find the song in the iTunes Music Store and play the 30-second sample.
BF: Oh yeah. That's what I meant.
Me: You thought this was the Indigo Girls? Ha!
BF: Stop it, Tray.
Me: long pause, with smirk
BF: God, I wish I had a BF who knew something about pop culture. He continues singing.

be the one you want to be!
Good song. Get him the MTV UNPLUGGED album.
I'm always messing up songs... I know who sings them... but I purposely make up my own lyrics. It's more fun that way.
I love the Maniacs... but I also love taking the seriousness out of Natalie Merchant's lyrics :)
Hugs to Tray!
