I used to think the lyrics were “remember when you spilt Coke allover your blouse.” Then I heard it as “milk allover.” Now I swear I heard it as Coke again.
Is one of these songs the BBC required to be changed for product copyright reasons, like “it tastes just like Coca Cola/cherry cola” in the Kinks Lola song?
I’m not even sure how to post here now, so here goes!
I can’t remember ever hearing the song except in the original studio recording, but I suppose it’s possible that they did it live somewhere with “milk.”
Sounds like “Coke” to me. Uh oh. Is this one of those “is the dress blue or white?” things? (Or the better analogy would be the one with whether you hear “yanny” or “laurel” in an audio example.) Thing is, when I listened to it in passing, I thought I heard “milk,” but on several repeats and listening closely, I only hear “Coke.”
So after reading your, post I re listened to the song with with my sounds cards’ audio enhancements turned off, and the volume higher, and now I hear Coke.
I listened to Waldo Pepper’s link, the track from the Endless Summer album, the American Graffiti soundtrack, and the 45 single version and every one of them sounds like Coke to me.
