Isn’t it “kiss the sky?”

For years, I thought that the actual lyrics were "Excuse me, while I kiss this guy." One of my elders corrected me during a casual conversation about misheard lyrics some years ago, but also happened to mention that sometimes Jimi was known to actually sing "Excuse me, while I kiss this guy" just to mess with people in light of it being so commonly misheard at the time.

I do not know if Jimi really did purposefully sing the latter just to mess with people, as Jimi was technically before my time, but the person I was speaking with grew up when it was relevant, so maybe.

Anecdotally, in that same conversation, I also learned that Johnny Rivers was singing about a secret agent man, not a secret asian man lol.

Blinded by the light…
Wrapped up like a douche, another rumor in the night…

I had this album. Amazingly rich sound.

I also enjoyed your 'mis-heard lyrics' joke. Had to play the song to figure out what you were talking about. Plus 1 for you OP!

HA! Thanks!

That was quite a thing for awhile. Lots of people actually thought the hook was "Excuse me, While I kiss this guy." More than a few eyebrows were raised...

And Jimi would tell you Dick Dale

I always wondered why Billy Idol wanted to fuck a pony….

Cause, The '80's... I really don't think he was lucid enough to actually accomplish that feat of stupidity...
