      1. Listening @Political_Beats, I just realized that Mick Jagger in Shattered says "don't you know the crime rate's going up, up, up, up, UP?" Which makes total sense about NYC in the 70s. But all these years, I thought he said "prime rate" (which was also true in the late 70s).

      2. In my defense, I just ascribed it to Mick being exactly the sort of rocker who would read the Wall Street Journal in the morning to check on his investments. (Then again, with his LSE education, Mick would probably have said LIBOR instead.)

          That's funny but makes no sense considering the next line is "To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!"

          Heh. I always heard "crime rate" but thought he said "ta-, ta-, ta-, ta-, ta-, ta-, tall" in the next line...because it was going..."up, up, up, up, UP!"...

          I find this interesting because it *never* occurred to me he might be saying anything other than "crime rate."

          The best misunderstood song lyrics are the ones that work just as well, or better, with the meaning of the song. Favorite example:https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1151144821630873601 …

          That's a good one. My best: for years, I thought Axl's line in Nightrain was not "I got a dog eat dog sly smile" but "I've got a dog he doubts my smile," which is way more badass. EVEN HIS DOG mistrusts him. https://twitter.com/EsotericCD/status/1151142122327826433 …

          I mean Mick has an economic degree, right? It makes sense.

          But he then says “to live in this town you gotta be tough tough tough tough tough” ....seems more visceral than mercantile
