Waterfalls was one of the biggest songs of 1995, spending seven weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and charting in the top five in various countries, including Ireland where it peaked at number 4.
As we all know, the chorus goes a little something like this:
Don’t go chasing waterfalls,Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to
Well, it seems a lot of people have misheard the lyric as “Don’t go Jason Waterfalls”.
No, really.
Can we talk for a sec about how I used to think the song "Waterfalls" by TLC was about a guy named Jason Waterfalls? #dontgojasonwaterfalls
