Happy to provide the space, Amos, and thanks for reading! Not sure how the Mr. and Mrs. raised Stiv and all the little Bators, but I love all the mondegreens (they lived just down the street) that come out of misunderstood lyrics! Goodness knows, I've had my share! I was 11 when I first heard The Beatles' "Paperback Writer" (on car radio at time of release) and thought they were singing about someone aboard a small book flying through the air...a "paperback rider"! I was surprised (and not just a little entertained) when I kept mis-hearing lyrics as I got older!
In "All This and More" Bators yells "Lookout!" with a fairly idiosyncratic pronunciation. For years I thought he yelled "L'Chaim!".
Just thought I'd never have anywhere else to say that.
