Love Potion #9

that's an interesting question. i had never noticed the change in the lyrics. i'll have to watch for it the next time i view the film.

That difference is discussed in the Wiki article for the song:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Potion_No._9_(song)

The song describes a man seeking help to find love, so he talks to a Gypsy who determines, by means of palmistry, that he needs "love potion number 9". The potion, an aphrodisiac, causes him to fall in love with everything he sees, kissing whatever is in front of him, eventually kissing a policeman on the street-corner, who breaks his bottle of love potion.

In one recorded version of the ending of the song, The Clovers used the alternative lyrics:
"I had so much fun that I'm going back again,I wonder what a-happen with Love Potion Number Ten?"[1]
The "kissing a cop" lyric led to the song being banned by some radio stations.[citation needed] The lyrics also have the narrator describe himself as being "a flop with chicks since 1956"; later recordings of the song have often changed the year to suit the year of recording or the age of the performer. A notable exception is the Australian alternative rock band Tlot Tlot's recording, which leaves the year in the song as 1956. It also uses the alternative Love Potion No. 10 lyrics.

Maybe also police brutality? Well, that would be in the lyrics today. He wouldn't just break the bottle, he'd kick my ass if I did that to him.

Funny because the version on the soundtrack album has the kissed a cop line.

Glasgow's FOREMOST authority Italics = irony. Infer the opposite please.
