Download the song Love and Happiness by Al Green. You really should buy the album, not because of any bullshit scare-tactics by bloated corporate thieves, rather just because its a damn good album of music to make sweet, sweet love to. No seriously, thats why music like that exists.

Listen to the song. Feel the love. Feel the groove. Experience what it is like to have Al Green inspire you to make hot, choclatey love to some sweet thing that is equally groove-ified by Als crooning. But, before things get too hot and heavy, do one more thing.

Listen to the chorus, where Al sings those wistful words of the title.

Love and Happiness.

Now listen to the backup singers, who croon back in perfect time with big Al himself, presumably repeating those very words of deep emotion.

Again, listen to the backup singers, undoubtedly stunning visions of Afro-wearin, bell-bottom shakin chocolate grooviness, and realize that they are not repeating Love and Happiness

What they are saying is this:

Burnin at the neck!

Go ahead, listen again.

"Burnin at the neck!

Youll never hear it the same way again.

This song has been around since before I was born, and ever since I first heard it, I actually thought thats what they said.
