OK, I've listened to this, and as hard as I try, I can not get "Call me
when you try to wake her up" out of what he's singing. Possibly "Call me
to wake her up" but it doesn't really sound like that either.

Just an observation.

Wierd, because I always thought he sang 'Call me when you try to wake her
up', even before I ever got hold of the actual lyrics.

Thank God, I thought I was the only one in the world that was having trouble
figuring out this line...

Despite the Y2k bug, mark...@aol.com (Markhges) managed to transmit:

>Thank God, I thought I was the only one in the world that was having trouble

From the newsgroup FAQ (see the URL below for the link):

o C3. "What the heck is the chorus of 'The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight'?"

Well, it's not "Call me in Jamaica," or even "Only in Chalawaika." The chorus
is "Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her." (Stipe's
alternate version related on AOL was "Call me if you try to wake her up.")
