@Mycroft @vahnj I am confused by this. should I understand this joke? is this even a joke? is this anti-humor?

@vahnj @Mycroft uh, hm, I have a Weird Thing about listening to music with lyrics, especially trying to understand the lyrics, double especially when the lyrics are a meme that would get the music stuck in my head every time I read them. I would much rather have it explained in text if that's not a problem :x

@Felthry @Mycroft So the chorus of the song goes "whoaaaa, livin' on a prayer"

so this is a joke because they have the same syllables in the image- "whoaaa, lemon on a pear"

@vahnj @Mycroft oh, I see!

I am not good at things that depend on having knowledge of music things or really pop culture things in general. thanks for the explanation.

@Felthry @Mycroft no worries! feel free to ask if i'm ever involved in these kinds of threads again, I don't mind explaining them :)
