If you know today’s song you will quickly find that there is something wrong. Instead of the words,like a drifter I was born to walk alone, they say ,like a hobo I was born to walk alone. Why did they change the word hobo to drifter? Did the National Association of Hobos object to this song so they made them change it? Or did they change the word because they didn’t believe the kids of today would know what a hobo is, so they changed it to drifter? The answer to why they changed the words, and I find this a little funny, the song heard here was from an album Whitesnake recorded in 1982. It was in 1987 that Whitesnake re-recorded the song and made their popular video, which was when the song became popular. When they recorded the song in 1987, the lead singer, who also wrote the song decided to change the word hobo to drifter because he was afraid that when some people heard the song they would misheard the word hobo for the word homo. He didn’t want any chance of that happening so he chanced the word to drifter. I’m not making this up!
Now I’m going to tell you about my favorite hobo movie. Not only is this my favorite hobo movie, it’s the only hobo movie I ever saw . I could be wrong but I think their are more homo movies than hobo movies. But if you want to see a good hobo movie I would recommend The Emperor of the North. This is the movie trailer for this movie.
Isn’t it amazing how just by changing one word in a song could lead to so much discussion!
