Lyrical Missteps

We haven't listened to our Queen Greatest Hits CD in a while. We've been too busy with our Abba one, but Thomas still sings 'We Will Rock You' pretty regularly. The actual lyrics say, "You got mud on yo' face, you big disgrace" but Thomas sings two versions. One, "ya got mud on your face, you big green snake." And two, "ya got mud on your face, you big bee sting."

I have to say he comes by it honestly. David keeps telling me that the Scorpions are actually singing "Here I am. Rock you like a hurricane" but I hear and sing, "Here I am. Raunchy like a hurricane." We've had many debates on what exactly a raunchy hurricane is. :-)
