Better Lyrics:
I am just a hypochondriac.

I am into sham pain.
Original Lyrics:
I am not into health food.

I am into champagne.
Submitted by: Richard Wetfuss
"Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"
Better Lyrics:
If you like bean enchiladas,
and eating steak til you're well fed
If you're not into yoghurt
you can have pudding instead
If you like eating food at midnight
And through the rest of the day
Meet me at Burger King tomorrow
we'll eat and have it our way!
Original Lyrics:
If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the cape
I'm the lady you've looked for
Write to me and escape
Submitted by: Caro

Backwards Messages:

"Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"
When reversed, one part of the song sounds similar to "Yes, an alien must know," which is followed by "Ah, I'm sure you'd believe that;" almost a subliminal jab at conspiracy theorists who believed in backwards masking.
