Lyric change in ISHBAY

So there I am watching them last night here in San Diego.

They open with ISHBAY.

I'm digging it. I'm singing along. Then out of nowhere Robert drops a new lyric in the second verse:

I can tell by your shakin' hands that you want me
So baby don't hold back, go with the flow
I know it looks bad 'cause I FU*KED all your girlfriends
But that's what you get when you live in a small world

I like it. Not for the sake of just dropping the word "fu*k" in a rooney song, but it just works better in the context of the song (especially with the sex toy line at the end). Kind of like how "drugs" was the original lyric in Simply Because as opposed to "trust". Minor changes that paint a more interesting story.

Has this been going on for awhile in other shows?

Re: ...

Hey! you havent been here in a while, i think you had another baby right? hows that going? welcome back!


{q a=[[Rock Mommy]]}I agree that I think it depends on the venue and night. Last August for the Soundstage taping was "kissed" and 2 months later during the Spree concert it was "fucked".

No, no, no..."lips" still works...either innocently or otherwise. I think "dick" would just be adding an unnecessary level of vulgarity for the sake of being crude.{/q}

ISHBAY

I was at the SD show last night also, and it actually threw me off guard when I heard him drop the F bomb. I was totally dancing away and just stopped. It was unexpected, but in a good way. I was pretty happy with the show last night.

lmao i'll definitley be listening for him to say it at my next show *fingers crossed* lol

I actually thought I had imagined that, and then I forgot about it until now. I actually like it, too, although that sounds weird...anyways, yeah, I heard it at the Austin show on July 5. I don't remember it on the Spree tour, though.{/q}

he doesnt do it every show, i was in NY when he did it

Re: .

{q a=[[PenCapChewerOnner]]}I first noticed him singing it that way on the Hush Sound tour. He's done it pretty consistently after that except on the Jonas Brothers tour. That would have been a major no-no.

But with that change, I think he should say "I know it's hard to look at me when you know where my dick has been..."{/q}

I could totally be wrong, but I swear I remember seeing a video where he did sing it that way...
