    I thought that it was: "The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta play in the past." in Life In The Fast Lane.
    I figured out that it's "The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash." oopppppssss

    Default Misheard Lyrics

    I don't recall seeing this topic here... but if it is, I'm sure the admins will transfer it to where it belongs.

    I've been thinking about this since our last survivor game. Originally, when I heard -IIT, I heard the following:

    Is It True - I was a wild one, like a chainsaw, if that's import to you!

    Who else has funny misheard lyrics?

    There is a topic on this, but it's super-old! Still in the interest of organization anal tendencies.... I'll do the combo thing.

    I am glad you revived the discussion, though, LTL. We've got some new folks who can add to it, and maybe some of we old-time members can add some more as well.

    I'm reviving this thread because a line from The Heat Is On came up again. I was going to post about it, but realized this had been discussed a while ago in this thread. However, it doesn't look like there is a conscensus about it, so I thought I bring it up again, and let other's weigh in on this thread that may have missed it before.

    The specific lyrics I'm referring to - is it??? ...

    "And the beat's so loud"

    or

    "And the beat's alive"

    I'm leaning towards "the beat's so loud" only because I think it's odd to use the word "alive" in two consecutive lines. The lines are ...

    "And the beat's (so loud or alive), deep inside
    The pressure's high just to stay alive"

    "People don't run out of dreams: People just run out of time ..."

    Put me on the "Alive" side. It sounds like "alive" to me, and I think it's much odder to have two words that don't rhyme ("Loud" and "Side") than it is to have a word repeated. After all, we have a repeated word in "I Love to Watch a Woman Dance": "only way" is rhymed with "other way" - it's not unheard of.

    The rhyme scheme is more evident when you write it like this:

    And the beat's alive
    Deep inside
    The pressure's high
    Just to stay alive

    JMHO!

    I said in the Eagles Song thread that I think it's alive & have always thought that for the reasons Soda has stated, and because I never heard it as 'loud'.

    I agree. I've always heard it "alive". I just watched it on YouTube, and I'm still hearing alive.
