■■■■■
● FeaturedThe opening line of Smash Mouth's ubiquitous hit 'All Star' is a common source of lyrical misremembering, with a small word often omitted.
●
What People Remember
Many remember the lyric as 'Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed, *only* shooting stars break the mold.'
◉
What's Actually True
The actual lyric is 'Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed, *she was* looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an 'L' on her forehead.' The 'only shooting stars' line comes much later in the song, after the chorus.
