    Wrong!

    ETA: Having just learned this myself, I thought I would share it with all of MFP. I had been singing (?) it wrong for decades.

    I like the end of A1A in Key West. With the red, yellow and black marker.

    Yeah, I'd like to pretend that I knew that before this morning too...

    ...but I can't.


    What other things that I thought to be absolutely true will be crushed today?

    Ha!

    I actually had no idea it was referring to a road until I was in Jacksonville in 2002 and looked out the car window and saw the sign.

    I had to google. I've been wrong all these years, too. :blushing:

    Next thing you're going to tell me that Steve Miller wasn't singing, "Bingo Chet had light on." Or that the Stones will "never leave your pizza burnin'."

    I think it has different names depending on where you are in FL. He actually says, "Beachfront Avenue" in the song. I think that's Miami.

    And I'm pretty sure Cool as Ice (Everybody get Loose) charted too.

    ETA: Whoa. When I woke up this morning, I did not expect to be publicly defending Vanilla Ice.

    That's it. I'm out of here for a while. I need some time away from the keyboard.

    Only tangentially related: I met Vanilla Ice in Rome about 6 years ago, while waiting in line for gelato. He had pistachio, I had raspberry.
