Hot Jumping Beans

This is FUNNY!  I'm so glad this is captioned! These are not the actual lyrics of the original song, however, this just goes to show how difficult it is for a hard of hearing or a deaf person like me to read lips. It also shows how we can misread what is being said, and come up with a wildly inaccurate perception.

 The real song is titled "That Should  be me" and it is found  at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Jw-T4dVss&feature=youtu.be  Thank you Neil for directing me to clarify that. :-) Here are the original lyrics:

That Should Be Me Lyrics

Ouuuuuuu
ouuuuuuuu

Everybody's laughing in my mind,
Rumors spreading 'bout this other guy,
Do you do what you did when you
did with me?
Does he love you the way I can?
Did you forget all the plans 
that you made with me? 
'cause baby I didn't!


That should be me,
Holdin' your hand,
That should be me
Makin' you laugh,
That should be me,
This is so sad,
That should be me,
That should be me,
That should be me,
Feelin' your kiss,
That should be me,
Buyin' you gifts,
This is so wrong,
I can't go on,
Till you believe that,
That should be me

Ouuuuuuu
ouuuuuuuu

That should be me,
Yeah,
You said you needed a little time
For my mistakes,
It's funny how you used that time 
To have me replaced,
Did you think that I wouldn't see you out at the movies
Whatcha doin' to me,
You're takin' him where we used to go,
Now if you're tryin' to break my 
heart,
It's working 'cause you know that,...

Chorus:

That should be me,
Holdin' your hand,
That should be me,
Makin' you laugh,
That should be me,
This is so sad,
That should be me,
That should be me,
That should be me,
Feelin' your kiss,
That should be me ,




Buyin' you gifts,
This is so wrong,
I can't go on, 
Till you believe that,
That should be me

I need to know should I fight
For our love for this long
It's getting harder to shield
This pain in my heart!!!

Chorus:
That should be me,
Holdin' your hand,
That should be me,
Makin' you laugh,
That should be me,
This is so sad,
That should be me,
That should be me, 
That should be me,
Feelin' your kiss,
That should be me,
Buyin' you gifts,
This is so wrong,
I can't go on,
Till you believe that,
That should be me,
Holding your hand,
That should be me,
Oh i makin you laugh, oh Baby,
That should be me,
(that should be me givin you flowers)
That should be me,
Talking by hours,that should be me, that should be me,
that should be me

Never should've let you go,!
I never should've let you go,!
That should be me!! <3
Never should've let you go
That should be me!!<3

  1. It sounds to me like they are singing "Hot Tub 'n Beans". I am not deaf but work in a very noisy environment. I am starting to think I hear one thing but it's not what was said. Also I almost walked in front of a moving car in Lowe's parking lot and noticed I could not hear it. Some parts of getting older kind of stink.

  2. Oops--- you said these are not the lyrics. Maybe it is "Hot Tub 'n Beans" and hidden joke is not to eat beans before hot tubing. ?? I am thinking maybe I should get hearing test.

  3. Hahah..."Hot Tub and Beans". Oh, my word. That is funny.
    Have you any HLAA meetings in your area or ALDA? I have attended one HLAA meeting and I'm looking forward to when it starts up again. I live in an area where most things like this are seasonal, due to weather conditions, etc. We don't have a local ALDA chapter, though I wish we did.
    Thanks for stopping by, Neil.

  4. This is a parody of a real song.. :-)

    The real song is titled "That Should be me" and it is found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Jw-T4dVss&feature=youtu.be

    I should put that on the post to clarify. Thank you for pointing that out. :-)

    It wouldn't hurt to get a hearing test. It's often FREE or covered under most insurance companies or through the Lion's Club International.
