Earlier, on IRC…
08:15 <@highvoltage> when I grow up, I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
08:17 <@Outsider> something, something, something, I wanna have boobies
08:19 <@highvoltage> yeah, I guess that’s where the “be careful what you wish for” bit comes in
08:31 <@Daev> I wanna have _groupies_ is what is actually sung

Wow, turns out Daev is right! It does sound like boobies though. I wondered if it was an intentional improvisation, but today I listened to it carefully when it was playing on the radio, and I could clearly hear that they are in fact singing “groupies”. I think it’s just a case of hearing what you want to hear. Everyone is somewhat brainwashed by society. I even heard a 4 year old girl singing along to that song and singing “boobies”. Then again, I suppose it’s more natural for a 4 year old to know what boobies are than to know what groupies are.

I don’t even recognise the song, but I remember hearing a bizarre snippet leaking out of my radio before I could switch to my lekker mumpeethrees and I thought it was boobies too. In fact, I think it would be better as boobies. I’ll be a signatory to your petition you just started?
