First a plea cop:

This was over 20 years ago, before I owned a copy of Bizarre Ride, hearing the song on the radio where college DJs weren't announcing playlists...

First time I heard it (and subsequent listens on my radio tape), I thought it was...

"She needs a maaan to leeeean on"

lol.

I'm betting that chorus fucked a lot of people up the first time they heard it.

At least I hope so.
