(aren't there a few 'In the name of's at the start of it?)

(aren't there a few 'In the name of's at the start of it?)

They were listed at the lyrics site I found, but in the version of the song I have, I don't hear them.

I should probably have put the "Hey you" and the next bit as separate lines from the beginning, though, because yes, there is a significant pause between them. But I thought "Hey you" was way vague. ;)

Coming very late to the party and picking up the spare:
C: Is That You, Mo-Dean? by the B-52s.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Woo! :)
