Yeah I sing it too, along with Shamu the mysterious whale. I'll be listening to my ipod in school in the morning and all of a sudden I break out in song... "SHAMU THE MYSTERIOUS WHALE" And my friends look at me and walk away quickly. But it usually occurs in the band hallway, where everyone is... unusual  :).

Ok, embarrassing but true, for years I'd sing this as:

"They want you to be Jesus
They go down on-n me...
But they whomp you on your back
If you're a lyin' honey flea!
And you're turnin' tricks
With your concert flicks
Star...."

It wasn't until the Popmart version when I finally figured out I'd had it wrong for a few years.

"Baby, slow down, the end is not as fun as the start..."

I guess it's like "the nights you filled with fireworks" in Stuck in a Moment... nobody hears it...

I heard that too! ;D

In "Between a Man and a Woman" the lyric is "keep beauty innocent" and until this morning I heard "keep beauty in ascent". I might like mine better.

"In the garden I was playing guitar."  Had AB on cassette originally and never had a copy of the lyrics.  Always sang it like that until two years ago I got an AB songbook for guitar (ironically enough) and learned it was "playing the tart."

I use to sing the part in Party Girl as "I know a boy a boy called Crash, Crash man" instead of "Trash, Trash Can". On a guitar tab website I say the lyrics down as "I know a boy a boy called Brash, Brash Ham".
