WOS Triumph, "Lay it on the Line", bombastic claptrap at its worst.

VHM ELO. From Wiki:

Quote
A common mondegreen in the song is the perception that, following the title line, Jeff Lynne shouts "Bruce!" . However, according to liner notes, he is actually saying a made-up word "Groos". This is similar to a German word for "greeting", Gruß possibly referring to the Bavarian greeting Grüß Gott the group would have heard while recording the album in Munich. However, after the song's release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as Bruce that the band actually changed the lyrics and began to sing the word as Bruce.

we can't rewind -- we've gone too far!

Bob closes with the Buggles -- and includes the not-often heard coda. A not-bad set.

we can't rewind -- we've gone too far!

A line that for years I mondegreened as "The country whined, 'We've gone too far!' "
