I sing the do dos as the word "beauty" repeated over and over again, it makes perfect sense to me

Also the Gaelic lemon cheesecake in Another Time, Another place, and while we're talking about Boy, "Is love like a taco, hanging from my ceiling" in Shadows and Tall Trees

on the Chicago vertigo DVD i always understood the second verse of Electric Co to be "cut knife shot blast in your horses side"

don't ask thats just what i heard i understand the lyric is "a shockblast goes through whats inside"

I always think the line in ABOY is

An intellectual tortoise
Racing with your bullet brain

At the end of 'One, when his voice is going into falsetto land, I used to hear him ordering his breakfast

'Bacon, and bacon and eeegggggsssss'

:looks around to see if this crowd can be trusted:

OK... for years I always heard & sang the lyric in ISHFWILF as: 'I have kissed haunted lips...' WTF???

'Haunted lips'?!?!?!?

Anyway, I sat down with my liner notes about 5 years ago & re-read all the JT lyrics (which I had done feverishly the minute I first owned a copy - obviously, without paying attention

). That's when I discovered they were 'honeyed lips'.

I sing it right now, but I still always hear 'haunted lips' in my head.

Just told my wife over the phone about 'Shazzafaw' and I heard her say it to my son...laughing his ass off...works with both parents!!!

oh man im gonna be singing that from now on

I always hear "Looking for the sound that's gonna drown out the weather" instead of "world" in MOFO. I swear I cannot hear it, I try and try but nope.

And as for shazzafaw.... I can see how someone would think that. It does sound like he could be saying that.
