Song lyrics: baffling music lovers since forever. Whether you’re in the camp that famously misheard “I’m a lion, I’m a vinyl, I’m a skittle, I’m a beetle” in Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit (it’s actually “A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido”), or you simply enjoy following along while you listen, Spotify’s lyrics feature has you covered.
