Understanding lyrics...

Before you cover a song, be sure that you understand the words. I hate it when someone records a song and clearly don't 'get it'.

Example1: Turn the Page by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band from the album "Back in '72"

Original Lyric:

Most times you can't hear 'em talk
Other times you can
All the same old clichés
Is that a woman or a man ?
And you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make a stand

Covered by Metallica on the GARAGE INC.

Most times you can't hear 'em talk
Other times you can
Oh, the same old clichés
Is it woman, is it man ?
And you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make a stand

Notice it ? The change is subtle. "Is that a woman or a man ?" is a cliche. Every guy who had long hair in the seventies heard that sentence directed at them. "Is it woman ? Is it man ?" is just a stupid line that doesn't fit the lyric.
