In Janet Jackson's last album where she sings the duet with Carly "Son of A 
Gun" (I Bet you think this song is about you) .......I've played this over 
and over, and this is what it sounds like Carly says:

"Clouds are various shapes and sizes,
 Most guys like to evaluate their prizes.
 We come with so many different tricks,
 The apricot scarf is worn by Mick.
 Nothing in the words refer to Mick."


I can't tell for sure, but the 4th line almost sounds like she's saying 
"Nick", but who would Nick be?

but I digress, as my friend Colin said 

"that fucking song was 30 years ago ...give the bitch
a break...she isn't telling...for 30 years that is the question she
always gets asked and she is so polite and deosn't answer....me...i'd
say get a life ...mind your own fucking business..."

You're probably right Colin dahling, but it's still a fun topic to bring up 
every now and then :~)
