The lyrics to Lady GaGa’s “Paparazzi” contain these lines:
It don’t have a price
Ready for those flashing lights
For some inexplicable reason, I keep expecting that bit to go thusly:
It don’t have a price
Ready for the paradise
Considering that the entire tune is photography-themed, “those flashing lights” makes eminent sense within the song’s context. So I can’t quite figure out why I’m mentally forcing the issue with my odd replacement wording.
But then, “ready for the paradise” does have a unique ring to it — almost like a rallying cry. And I see that it’s pretty much an unprecedented piece of phraseology.
So I’ve unexpectedly coined a new expression, much like I did only a couple of weeks ago. Only this time, I had inspirational help. I’ll take all I can get, so long as the result is something fresh.
