"'Scuse me while I kiss this guy."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"'Scuse me while I kiss this guy."
What's actually sung
"'Scuse me while I kiss the sky." Purple Haze — Jimi Hendrix (1967)
Why the ear defaults
So famous the word "mondegreen" almost got replaced by "kiss-this-guy." Hendrix leaned into it on stage — pointing at a bandmate when he sang the line.
