So what does "cool cool Kitty" want me to look at just before she
mentions the Boy from New York City's new car?

His pretty balls?

Or is she saying he's 'pretty bald?'

I think it's "his dueling scar."

it's not his dueling scar and there's nothing in there like "we call
him Jill". I don't know where some people get some of these "lyrics"
they post on the internet.

I always heard it as "He's pretty boss in his brand new car" but
listening to it tonight it could very well be "his pretty bar and his
brand new car". I prefer the "boss" interpretation though.

Well excuse the fuck out of me, Eric! I was merely offering what I
thought I heard on the record. I'm so-o-o sorry to have offended your
clearly superior sensibilities.

You heard "his dueling scar?"

This is what I hear


The Ad Libs sing

his mini bar


The Manhattan Transfer sing

his dueling scar


The Darts skip that verse


Then, there is another version posted under the Whitburn R&B collection
that is attributed to the Ad Libs, but is a different take for sure and not
as good as the version Ive come to know as the original. I think this is
the one that Jan Dean is talking about. In this version, it sounds like

his pretty bar

Dean,

I see Rocky says the Manhattan Transfer version has "dueling scar". Is
that the one you were referring to? I've only been thinking about the
Ad Libs version.
