"I Think We're Alone Now"
Better Lyrics:
I think we're a scone now
they put us on a plate and up on the counter
I think we're a scone now
Somebody called a name and said the order was ready
they put us on a plate and up on the counter
I think we're a scone now
Somebody called a name and said the order was ready
Original Lyrics:
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

"Sweet Cherry Wine"
This song was on the no play list on Armed Forces AFRTS stations due to the lyrics "We aint gonna fight, only God has the right to decide who's to live and to die". In a military-only redo, the line is altered slightly to appease the generals and admirals of the time.
