The Story: The first time I heard this song and thought they were saying "television" rather than "double vision," my mother turned stepmother (obviously not my stepmother anymore) told me that they were saying "double vision," not "television." A friend of mine that I was acquainted with, when I lived in Tampa, thought they were saying "FEEL my eyes" rather than "FILL my eyes." And it DOES sound somewhat like they're saying "FEEL my eyes" rather than "FILL my eyes." And it would be literally impossible to feel another's eyes. And even if you could, it would harm their eyes and it would also be rude. - Submitted by: Isac

The Story: I used to hear it a lot when I was younger, and I'd have the radio on to help me to fall asleep. Usually when I heard it, I was falling asleep. So I didn't quite fully hear the lyrics right. - Submitted by: Larcen Tyler

The Story: Actually, I listen to this song on local radio stations that held western songs since long and Rock Channel already have this song and now kept in other playlist. In the past, I feel misheard with this song because I think that the song is "I Wanna Be Sedated" from Ramones (mainly sung on the first and second chorus repeatedly until fade out). However, after months of studying this song on the internet, I finally found a song whose lyrics mistaken as "I wanna be sedated" and the song that I found earlier is "I Want to Know What Love Is" not "I Wanna Be Sedated". It is revealed that the song "I Wanna Be Sedated" was originally a punk rock song not slow rock song. Also, the duration of the song is more than two minutes and is not comparable to "I Want to Know What Love Is" which is about five minutes in duration. - Submitted by: Wisnu Aji

"Think About the Times" was only the title that I hear and not in the lyrical content but finally "Say You Will" was in the lyrical content when I hear this program that playing this song. I requesting Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" as the next song on this program. I like this song but I'll cry if I hear they playing their guitar solo near the end of the song. About this song: It was "Say You Will", its 1987 single from the sixth studio album, "Inside Information", released on 8 December 1987. It was written by Mick Jones and Lou Gramm. The album "Inside Information" was including the singles "Can't Wait", "Say You Will" (released on 5 December 1987 and reaching #6 on Billboard's Pop Chart), "I Don't Want to Live Without You" (released in the first three month of 1988 and sizable for pop and adult contemporary radio stations with reaching #5 and #1 on Billboard's Pop Chart and the Adult Contemporary Chart respectively and their upbeat rock material from "Inside Information" would be their last major pop hit to date). - Submitted by: Wisnu Aji
