When I was growi...Just one final note on the song. When I was growing up, a common phrase was, "You've got another THINK coming." And when I listen to the song, it seems that's what they're saying. A lot of lyrics sites say THING, not THINK. Even the official site for Judas Priest says THING, not THINK. But it wouldn't be the first time a copy-writer misinterpreted a lyric - nor would it be the first time a band decided to "go with the flow," especially if it wasn't noticed until after the recording was pressed. THINK would seem more appropriate in the context of the lyric preceding it, "If you THINK I'll let it go, you're mad - you've got another THINK coming."<br /><br />Also consider what the book, "Common Errors in English Usage," says:<br /><br />http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/thing.html<br /><br />P.S. One of my favorite misinterpretations comes from the Jimi Hendrix song, "Purple Haze." The correct lyric was:<br /><br />"'Scuse me while I kiss the sky."<br /><br />But some have misinterpreted it as a homosexual reference:<br /><br />"'Scuse me while I kiss this guy."PostalXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330958571903079305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804459392515647937.post-76971553049044753202015-04-05T10:14:40.631-07:002015-04-05T10:14:40.631-07:00P.S.

You'd think they'd be afraid of the Bible-thumpers who might protest the ad ... suggesting that a band using the name "Judas Priest" might be a Satanic band. Such a suggestion (if believed) might cost Terminix some serious business.PostalXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330958571903079305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804459392515647937.post-11974710786965976492015-04-05T10:04:06.516-07:002015-04-05T10:04:06.516-07:00I wouldn't be too critical of Judas Priest all...I wouldn't be too critical of Judas Priest allowing Terminix to use their music. Have you ever listened to the lyrics of that song? They may be gifted musicians. But the lyrics reveal them to also be unrepentent capitalists - "Out there is a fortune waiting to be had. If you think I'll let it go, you're mad." So, by marketing their song to Terminix, they're merely being true to their capitalist nature - milking their music for all it's worth. As a capitalist myself, I think they made a smart move.PostalXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330958571903079305noreply@blogger.com
