A complicating feature in recognizing lyrics is that they are not
always the same.  I seem to be blessed(?) with an ear that can pick
up lyrics reasonably clearly, as long as there is only one vocalist.
I have several times been amazed to hear one or two words dubbed in
a song.  I have heard this on several recent popular songs, and each
time the recording appeared to be identical (within the fidelity of
a car radio) to the original, except for the change of one or two
words.  It would seem that the change is motivated by a desire to
clean up the song, however I don't really see why, since both
versions get played on the public airwaves.
