haha ok, i love that song, but i seriously had to listen to it to figure out how you were mistaking that line... maybe it's her accent? my best friend can't hear a damn thing anyone says with an accent. i think it's funny, but usually the waiter at chinese food restaurants doesn't think it's very funny when he's asked to repeat himself while i just sit there, giggling. speaking of which, the human brain can and will cease lingusitic fluidity to free up space for things deemed more important. that's why it's easier for kids to learn new languages, and why the aforementioned waiter will replace all english R's with L's... because his brain seriously cannot differentiate the sounds.

Haha oh jeez, I hear you on that one.  One of my jobs is at a Japanese restaurant, and I'm one of the three non-Engrish speakers employed, hahaha.
