Revision as of 01:29, 30 April 2008
A request for comment has been made for this page. Please add your thoughts!
Riddle me this:
My ears hear "And I'm all alone during couple skate" The info page in the store (and everything in this wiki) reads "And I'm alone during couple skate"
Obviously, and without a doubt, we should use the lyrics actually in the song. But I'm not going insane for hearing that, right?
- I agree. That's pretty definitely what's sung. This live performance has a good facial close up during that line, and that looks like two words to me (rather than "ah-ah-lone," for which that subtle mouth closure wouldn't be there). Of course, I would've also sworn to it being "couples' skate," so what do I know? ~ Thomast 18:25, 29 April 2008 (EDT)
- I have always thought the words were "And I'm all alone...." I think it's a safe change to make, and I'll make it -- if someone disagrees, he or she can change it back. --Bry 01:14, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
