they got the keys to the city but we got a lotta shakin in our hips!

oh if only joy had a...
love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka bam thwok
(oh)love bang crash awakka wakka
*organ solo*

Also, it's "they got the keys to the city but we gotta lotta shakin' in our hips." As in 'the bosses got the keys to the city but who gives a crap cuz we're having fun'. Heh heh. Good times.
And try listening to it as "Buzzin' modulations" vs. "Buzz and modulations". It's a toss up, but the former is easier to wrap your tongue around when singing, so that's probably it.

and sorry, i don't heard 'the only joy i ache', lard.

The Spinners, as in Liverpool folk-merchants of the 1970's and 1980's?
Cool.

" love the universe i love all the listeners!"
I thought that this line was, "I love the Universe, I love all of the Spinners"
Huh, isn't it weird how different ears hear different things. |
