There is an ad for Nissan Micra on TV at the moment, with a song by a band called Band of Skulls, and the song is "I Know What I Am" ... it's kind of a cool song, but that's not the point of this.

Every time I hear the ad I swear the chick is singing "cunt tease, better believe I got the feeling I'm on my knees". And I kept thinking "they CANNOT be playing that on prime time television, surely I have it wrong" but then I'd hear it again and listen intently, and that's all I could hear... I mentioned it to TNF last night and she used her awesome google-fu and now I know that, somewhat disappointingly, it's actually "Cut, tease, Better believe, I got the feeling that I'm underneath"

I like my version better.

Your version's definitely better. What *were* the original lyricists thinking?!
