Guest Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I distinctly remember she performed Hollywood on TV back in the day and sang "They like the smell of shit in Hollywood." Am I losing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someone 68 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 They love the smell of 'it' in hollywood That's the original lyric, but M could have altered it in some TV performance like anaglyphx asked. She did that with Material Girl in BAT ("experience has made me a bitch"). I don't know if she ever sang that line in Hollywood, but such change would be funny and work lol.

Guest Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes, you're mistaken. She's only performed the song a handful of times, live. It was during the American Life Promo tour. While she would screw up the lines/words each time she sang them, she never substituted "it" with "shit". Though in France, she did sing/say "Get the Fuck Out" several times at the end of the song. Possibly is that what you're remembering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUADJAI 15,242 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 i mean, she only performed it a few times... shouldn't be hard to find. TRL Tower Records TOTPs... but that was probably lip synched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She never performed it on TRL, but she did have a full MTV special called "On Stage and On the Record" where she performed it. As you mentioned. she performed it at Tower Records in NYC, as well as on the Johnathon Ross show, live at the HMV store in London, in France (La Cantine Du Faubourg) and she performed it live at the MTV Music awards with the infamous kiss. Maybe the OP is confusing her swearing when she did so in France (as I mentioned above) where she would sing/say "Get the Fuck out" at the end of the song?

Guest Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks everyone! I was sure it was Jonathan Ross, but it wasn't. Getting old eh? Wish she sang Love Profusion, the only song from American Life she hasn't one live. (Technically Nobody Knows Me was synched) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
