One of the great bungled lyrics of the decade:

"You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep"

wouldn't "you're in heat" have made more sense, and also rhymed better, than "you're in deep"?


Someone at the label probably thought that lyric was a step too far.  Just like with "867-5309": "Jenny Jenny, you're the girl for me / You don't know me, but you make me so happy" - I'm sure that last word was at some point supposed to be horny.

PS: Tinka, thanks for adding dik-dik to my vocabulary!

I saw John Fogerty play this in '91 (?) at the Golden Gate Park Polo fields in the tribute to the departed Bill Graham, and I found that I *liked* hearing it!  John put on a good show, and I believe the Dead -- who also played there that day -- were his backing band that day.   do I have that right?  anyone recall?


That sounds right to me. I think the Dead backed CSNY for a song or two as well.
