A Morgan Wallen song from 2021 called “Silverado For Sale” is blowing up on TikTok, racking up MILLIONS of views, but most fans are singing the lyrics wrong. Guys are showing off their trucks, then flashing a photo of their girlfriend. The song tells the story of a man selling his truck in the classifieds to buy an engagement ring. Right before the chorus, the real line is, “Here’s what I want it to say.” But TikTok has decided the lyric is, “Here’s what I wanted to say.”

Prince played a huge part in the “Stranger Things” finale, which used “When Doves Cry” and “Purple Rain” as its big needle drops. But music supervisor Nora Felder also considered Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. The reason they didn’t make the grade is kind of weird. She says, quote, “The Duffers reached out to me about this before the scene was shot . . . and they said, ‘This one is a little more tricky because of the way the scenes are going to be set up. “‘We need something preferably from 1987, but it could be from before. The songs have to be from the same artist; and the first song has to start the A or B-side of an album by that artist, and the second song has to end the A or B side of that [same] album.'” So Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” came up, as did songs from Floyd’s album “The Wall”. But in each case, they didn’t meet that first song-last song criteria. However . . . “When Doves Cry” is the first song on Side 2 of Prince’s “Purple Rain” album . . . and the title track is the closer. So it fit.

And it’s, let’s say it’s 9:03, and there’s Carrie, ready, looking at her nails… So, just her punctuality.”
