Okay, so.. there's this Physechadelic Furs song where the lead singer (who is very Britishy I might add) says "Back in the Government" and I, of course, am listening to this on a cassate tape in a 25 year old car. I can't decipher the lyrics. So I just ask aloud "Okay, am I crazy or is he saying 'Bark I'm a Doberman'. If you sound it out, they're quite similar, I promise.
The shameful part is that I was sixteen at the time. I hear the 'correct' lyrics when I listen to it now.
