When I was in High School a friend of mine was a big fan of Savage Garden. Amongst others, the Animal Song was one of her favourites. She used to sing "I want to live like cannon balls" instead of "I want to live like animals". And then "I want to run through the jungle with wind in my hair and the smell of my feet" instead of "I want to run through the jungle with wind in my hair and the sand at my feet". !!! I haven't seen her in years but always remember her with fondness when I hear this song.
