Re: Did I hear that right?
As far as THIO goes, put me down as hearing "alive". That is kind of a tough one and I can see how it could either way but I hear "alive" more than "so loud".
Here's one that my mom gets wrong every time. In Please Come Home For Christmas the line is "But this is Christmas, yes, Christmas, my dear." My mom always sings it as "But this is Christmas, yes, Christmas magic." :hilarious: Ah, bless her. I've told her the right words many times but she says she likes it better as "Christmas magic".
Re: Did I hear that right?
lol! I like "Christmas magic" better too!
Re: Did I hear that right?
:blush: lol, I thought it was Christmas magic too :shh: :laugh:

Re LITFL
I thought "paid heavily bills" might have been an intentional switch of "played Beverly Hills" since the earlier line is "They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills" - I'm picking BH would be a good place to do both of those?
:drunk:
Re: Did I hear that right?
Put me down as one who always heard in LITFL "paid heavenly bills". Now that I listen back with headphones and slowed down in my computer, it's most definitely "heavily".

I have to believe that you are right and it would be! :hilarious:
Re: Did I hear that right?
Well regarding the "heavenly" bills vs. "heavily" bills, I alway thought it was heavenly. To me "heavily" doesn't make any sense. I think it may sound that way just because of the way Don enunciates the word. I remembered some of the discussion about this earlier in this thread, so I went back and looked. Here are a couple of quotes ...

FP, do you remember who published the sheet music book you own? I would tend to think glenneaglesfan's song book published by Warner Music would get it right, but you never know.
Re: Did I hear that right?
And here's another quote from gef that I found in going through the thread regarding The Heat Is On lyric:

Again, I wonder if Kate's songbook was an official publication? In any event, after going back and reading all the comments in this thread, you all have convinced me that it is "the beat's alive". :thumbsup:

It is published by Warner Bros. Publications. It is as official as you can get.
The bottom line is that neither word makes any sense at all, but the word is 'heavily'.
Re: Did I hear that right?
Yeah, but the "official" Warner publication that GEF has from 1981 conflicts with yours and says that it is "heavenly", so which "official" publication is correct?
I agree that neither word is a great choice, but in the U.S., we do use the word "heavenly" in this context i.e. to describe something that is "up to the sky" so to speak. I can't think of any instance where the word "heavily" would be used in this context.
