    I've got the hairstyle, will never die

    Artist: AC/DC
    Real Lyric: Forget the hearse 'cause I'll never die.



    The story:

    I got this from the actual lyric sheet from a Japanese import of the Back in Black album (on vinyl). Obviously someone at the Japanese division of the record company (with a tenuous grasp of english) prepared the lyric sheet without checking for the official lyrics.

    I just about fell off my chair laughing when I saw it!

    The lyrics may have been originally published the "misheard" way. what I know is that these were the "official" lyrics, as published by J. Albert & Son Pty. Ltd in "AC/DC Rock Score", part of a series of scores put out by Wise Publications (UK) during the mid '80s.

    I'm not saying that what the submittor says is not true (don't get me wrong, I agree that Japanglish is a very strange thing), but it could be that the Japanese version came from some "official" publication like this, so....maybe AC/DC originally set the words this way and then changed them in the studio. It's been done before.

    This is really just a stupid exercise in egotistical nerdiness, but I just had to. ]
