I know what the lyrics are supposed to say, but it's impossible for me not to hear "if you slofs your underwear" on TMZ. Anyone actually hears something else?

I agree 100 percent. For whatever reason, the word "lost" in that line is completely garbled. I've never been able to hear it correctly.

When I sing that part, I usually sing it like "if you vlost your underwear." It did sound to me like "flossed" the first time.

It is sung like that, and at first, I had no idea what he was saying at all. I didn't even know he said club.

The only thing off the new album that was lost in translation to me was the "destabilized" line in PITCIA. TMZ seemed pretty straight-forward, on the other hand.

Yeah, same here. I don't know what any of you are talking about with "lost" being pronunciation weirdly. I've recognized it as "lost" the whole time, and going back and listening to that part again I sort of see what you're talking about but can't understand how it wasn't recognizable.
