[] I completely embarassed myself at a gathering of friends a few days
after I heard a new song on the radio.  I expressed my amazement at how
this song 's lyrics got past the censors with the rawnchy refrain

        Wipe in the vaseline
                Think I'm gonna lose control.

My friends were amazed too, until (unfortunately for me) the song came
on the radio and I said "Listen--this is the song!".  The actual lyrics
are

        Life in the fast lane
                Think I'm gonna lose control.

If you have the record, re-listen to it.  I still think the lyrics
sound more like I first interpreted them.
