I am just aghast at this. I had no idea.

Flashback to the time I realized "The Impression That I Get" was not about knocking on wood.

Some could be a succinct Tik Tok comedy video, others stretched into a Twilight Zone episode. They're not all poignant, but they are ironic.

“I never had to - knock on wood - but I know someone who has…”
Can someone help me out?

Is it a regional thing?
Never meet your heroes, death of the artist, and all that.
I’d like to think that if I did I would pass
Whose music was ska, a true bastion.
With horns loud and strong,
They played all night long,
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, a Boston's sensation
(And Boston does not rhyme with bastion)
But then one sad day
Dicky heard RFK
Now he’s just one more anti-vax has-been
Punctuation matters.
Gay prostitution for drugs. I just accepted that on face value and made a mental note not to $u@k d*@k for crack
And that totally worked for the last 35 yrs (KOW) so I guess I’m a fan and it goes to show how real the music was back then
"I've never had to knock on wood" means exactly what it says. "I've never had to, knock on wood," means "I've never had to [feel that way], knock on wood [in hopes that I never do feel that way]"
Did y'all just not listen to the verses?
And don't even get me started on the cars for kids song. I will never give that organization a penny.
It's a response broadly to dealing with tragedy/challenges that are larger than life
That's why the room won't be open until your brothers or your sisters come
Also, your pregnant partner would like you to stfu about how much *deeper* the song is now because it’s 4am and she was fucking sleeping.
Or been close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful,
So heavy you collapse? No?"
then the chorus that he hasn't been close to tragedy "I've never had to....knock on wood" as in he's knocking on wood.
It’s also “never forget the way you feel right now” and “I’ll never do it better than I do it with you” and finally it’s “screwing around - I won’t do that!”
“I would do anything for love but I won’t lie/forget/cheat”
Wait until you hear about the Edmond Fitzgerald.
We are always knocking on wood.
I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
Look at the tested and think "There but for the grace go I"
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out
