since am not only an ESOL baby, but dyslexic, am a walking, talking #MisheardLyrics cliché. and i resent it when what i hear is better than what they sang.
it’s not that i have never heard this song before. it was a monster hit in the #Caribbean. it’s that every time i hear it played, i keep singing the chorus as TIGHTY WHITEYS FOR YOUR BOOMBOOM instead of TINY WINY, WHINE YOUR BUMBUM 🥸

i think TINY WINY fucks with me because it uses wine and whine and that code switching fries my poor neurons. am one of those people whose bilinguism triggers #dyslexia: am mostly dyslexic in English, not in my mother tongue, Spanish. tiny winy in this song is party people. the whine is one of the precursors of twerking. so, it’s a call for all the party people to shake their booty. DEATH IN PARADISE had a bit about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmApQxcIUrY my #music #soca #calypso earworm is now yours 😜 /🧵
