When I was younger (in the early 90's) I listened a lot to Guns n' Roses. In their song Paradise City I was sure that the chorus went "Take me down to the Paradise City, where the beer is free and the girls are pretty."
To my grave disappointment it was the, in my opinon, lamer "where the grass is green and the girls are pretty". My version just seems to be more Rock n' Roll.
