A couple of months ago Mauro wrote an article about how a song’s popularity can be rejuvenated thanks to its inclusion in a blockbuster film’s soundtrack. This month I’m going one further and shining the spotlight on a track that’s currently enjoying some fresh popularity thanks to its association with a viral meme!
Are you ready for this? Great, here’s what you have to do:
Correct the misheard lyrics to find the song, and let us know what meme it’s used in for an extra special shoutout!
Darling, hold my ham
Oh, won’t you hold my lamb?
‘Cause I don’t wanna wok on my own anymore
Won’t you understand?
‘Cause I don’t wanna wok alone
Submit your answer in the following form and stay tuned for the results next month!

And we’re back! I’m ready for this, are you?
Nothing beats a just for fun Connected game, and last month we put you to work with some misheard lyrics, asking you to correct them to find the featured Song and Artist. It’s a song that’s jetted back into our lives this summer, flying on the back of a viral meme. Let’s do some correcting!
Darling, hold my hand
Oh, won’t you hold my hand
‘Cause I don’t wanna walk on my own anymore
Won’t you understand?
‘Cause I don’t wanna walk alone
These are of course the iconic lyrics to Jess Glynn’s ‘Hold my Hand’, sound of the equally iconic Jet2 Holidays ad from early last year. Congratulations to those of you up to date on your meme trivia!
