"Sorry Miss Jackson, oh!"
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"Sorry Miss Jackson, oh!"
What's actually sung
"Sorry Ms. Jackson — I am for real." Ms. Jackson — OutKast (2000)
Why the ear defaults
The real line continues into a full clause. The ear chops it at the catchy opening and supplies a wordless exclamation to fill the beat.
