"Teen Age Riot"
Misheard Lyrics: Everybody wants to be kind to Jews.
Original Lyrics: Everybody wants to be proud to choose.

Story about this misheard lyric by: t. Sonic Youth and I are both from NYC, where the Jewish vote is important. While it seemed a bit un-PC to point out in a song, this was really what it sounded like to me. It still actually makes a bit more sense than the apparently real lyrics. |
