I'm finding several different transcriptions of the lyrics on the internet and I don't know if any are from official sources. From old war movies I've never heard kamikaze pronouned kah-mi-cause.
But the transcription I'm finding that matches my understanding of the lyrics is:
- The boys in the back are called macaws
- Because of their caws?
- No, because they're macaws!
That has the benefit of making sense (reminding me of a David Mamet line: "Everybody wants money. That's why they call it money."
Could this kamikaze version be an "excuse me while I kiss this guy" situation?
