I was thinking of the actual words in the song, but you made a good point. I've changed it.

D'oh! Got down to the very last one with no errors and then guessed incorrectly. The only one I missed was...fire. I was so fixated on the verses that I didn't even think about the chorus. Also, including "Cadillacs" is diabolical, because it's so easy to hum along and mistake it for "Kerouac."

No, but you could say I'm familiar with the MAC. But I have been to Mounds State Park not too far away!
