Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood

[SpookyFrank]

It's never occured to me that it could be anything other than "rock n roll".

Which famously rhymes with 'good'

There's lots of mispronouncing to make it fit in pop music, not a good argument

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Rock n' Roll

I have always heard Robin Hood but in this version, which sounds incredible by the way, he clearly says rock n roll. I'm just gonna have it as both because fuck it.

 

[Chilli.s]

most likely is both, depending on the gig

 

[Peter Painter]

Since there seems to be some debate about whether he says "Rock 'n' Roll" or "Robin Hood", it strikes me that the most contentious part of the title is, "Everybody Says"....

Simple fact there's an "isolated vocals" version floating around Youtube (and some people commented there that it proves the "Robin Hood" theory) is amazing. I find it curious how people spend so much time fixing music... to either mess around with the bass or isolate vocals. It's not bad; it's just "wow".
