Mistaken Lyrics: Livin' in the Bronx

Until a few days ago, I was groovin' away like an a-hole to "Sexy Back" when I was taught that Justin Timberlake is not actually saying "Go ahead... be goin...'" but instead, "Go heavy, Go with it." I was schooled. Until, that is, I found the lyrics online and they're "Go ahead, be gone with it..." so whatever, peoples.

I tell you what though, I sure got a howl out of my friend Martin's "Living in the Bronx...Living in the Bronx...It's a put on...Livin' in the Bronx..." as "Eminence Front" blared on the stereo one evening. When I enlightened him (sometimes I enlighten), I remember he said, "What the hell does "eminence front" mean?" Exactly. What does it matter if you're singin' away having a good time? It's all a put on. Please, put your hands together for The Who, and "Eminence Front."

Hah, when I first heard Eminence Front I thought it was Living in the Trunk.

I thought it was "Living in the front." You know, as opposed to living in the back.
