I used to be really into Johnny Horton when I was younger (probably because of that amusing alligator line in "Battle of New Orleans"). Anyways, whenever I listened to "Sink the BIsmark" (and probably cause I didn't clean out my ears as often as I should have) for about a year I heard "the world depends us" line as the "world had been so nuss". I was corrected (and probably told to do a better job of cleaning my ears) when I asked what "nuss" means.
