Story about this misheard lyric by: Cody Finke It was having to do with those etoys.com commercials and the film Meet Joe Black that I heard this song multiple times since then. For this line, I often got myself confused between "go" and "grow", especially having to do with the Avodart commercial when he says he thought he had a going problem when he actually had a growing problem - an enlarged prostate. |
