Mika Mad Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 In the booklet with the CD the lyrics are given as "She's a player and a downright bore" but I'm sure that Mika sings "She's a player and a downright whore" Do you think that it's a mistake or is it deliberate? -it certainly makes it easier for me to explain the words to my young daughter!

sucked2hard Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The first time I heard it I thought it was "whore" but after many listens I am sure that he is saying "bore." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariel Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 she'll be a bore when record company execs don't want parental advisory stickers on their releases, and a whore when the storyteller's feeling a bit naughty on stage methinks...

HappyEnding Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 On the CD it is definately 'bore', but the first time I sang along to it my mind slipped up and 'whore' came out . Quite clever - keeps it clean for the kids (please tell me that 10 year olds don't know what a 'player' is!), but anyone old enough to know is going to hear something else . To be quite honest I think overt profanity in music shows a lack of imagination... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melanieuk2004 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Actually if anyones listened to Mika live on Radio 2 session, he sings Lollipop, and he says Whore, not bore, its great cos he grins after he's said it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*_sam_* Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I wondered that the first time I heard it too! I reckon it's meant to be "whore" but to make it more accessible he's changed it to "bore". I like to sing whore tho 'cos i'm hardcore like that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tantastic Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I always hear "bore", but I saw "whore" somewhere in the ineternet.. So I thought that was just me.. But I guess "bore" is right then, lol:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Mad Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 So it's both then! When I was watching the Radio 2 session on television this afternoon I looked very closely and his lips look as if he says whore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I would definitely say he sings whore on the R2 session. And he does give a little cheeky look after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengafer Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 A agree with babs, onlradio 2 session am sure i heard whore with cheeky smile and bore on CD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl_anachronism Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 the lyric is most def WHORE. c'mon, the song is totally full of double sexual entendres.. and if she's a "player", would it make sense for her to be "bore"?? nope, a girl who's a player would more likely be a whore.. secondly, i think just a little bit later he sings about "bad girls get you down" bad girls... more likely goin with whore than bore, don't ya think however, i totally think in certain situations he would change it to bore, just to make it a little more kid friendly..
