Remember Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" where she sings "One eye in the mirror
as you watch yourself go by"?

To me that sounds like "One eye in the middle and the other can't decide."

Sorry to break the news to you, but you've *still* got it wrong. The real
lyrics are: "You've got one eye in the mirror, as you watch yourself gavotte."
Now, I'll grant you that gavotte is not your average, everyday sort of word,
so it's understandable that you might misinterpret it, but in this endless
discussion of "mangled" lyrics, we should at least strive to get the correct
lyrics in there somewhere.

P.S. Just to make you feel better: For the longest time I thought
that the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" was actually
"Knights in White Satin". (Homonyms -- don't ya just love 'em :-)!
 ^
Believe me, you *don't* want to hear what my interpretation of this was --
it would have had to have been posted to net.bizarre!

P.P.S. Gavotte is a dance.
