Misheard Lyrics: If you're not into yogurt
If you have half a brain Original Lyrics: If you're not into yoga

Story about this misheard lyric by: Penelope Beckinsale For a long time, I thought it said 'yogurt' rather than 'yoga'. Interestingly, there wasn't much reason to question that hearing, since yogurt and yoga would fit about equally well on a list of the kinds of things that the song is about not being 'into'. |
