Can't answer that one but it reminded me of two instances where I heard something that sounded strange for years and eventually found out what was being said. Even members of my family that listened to the same thing couldn't figure it out.

In SOUTH PACIFIC, when they are are singing "There is nothing like a Dame", there's a line that sounded to me like "Vystra poke your nose." I know. Garbled jibberish. But that's what I heard every time I listened to this song:

It's at the 0:46 mark.


Then there's ALL IN THE FAMILY. The song they always sung at the beginning had a line that sounded to me like "Gee, we ought to celrebrate". I assumed it was "Gee, we ought to celebrate". But why were they pronouncing it that way?

It's at the 0:34 mark.

Eventually, with the help of the internet where you can get printed lyrics and listen to it over and over again and I figured out what they were saying:

"and advice from Tokyo Rose"

"Gee, our old LaSalle ran great" (A LaSalle was a make of car that GM stopped making in 1940.)

So I solved those two mysteries but do not at this time have an answer for yours. Good luck with it!
