"She's got electric boobs, a mohair suit."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"She's got electric boobs, a mohair suit."
What's actually sung
"She's got electric boots, a mohair suit." Bennie and the Jets — Elton John (1973)
Why the ear defaults
Elton clips the T in "boots" against the B in "boobs" — and the 1973 glam-rock context makes either reading roughly equally absurd. The misheard version is now the bar-band default.
