Story about this misheard lyric by: Jessica Childress

I was a child when this song came out, and I didn't understand the word 'thrill' at all in this line at the time. I asked my mother what the word was, and she said she thought it was 'threat'. Thereafter I presumed it to be 'threat' for a long time, and perhaps my mother did too.
