Miley Cyrus "Can't Be Tamed"

[a Nick O!]

I was listening to the song, which I've already heard plenty of times, on AT40 just now and I thought I heard something that wasn't there as the lyrics flew by. I had to go back and rewind it several times, because I couldn't quite understand what she was actually saying. The B section of the first verse, according to popular consensus on lyric sites reads:

Every guy, everywhere just gives me mad attention
Like I'm under inspection
I always get a ten 'cause
I'm built like that

I could've sworn, as it flew by, that I had just heard the third line as "They always get a tent, 'cause." How awesome would it be if that was actually what she was saying (assuming she only meant guys her age, of course)?

I was surprised when the song lossed its steam near the mid twenties on the pop chart, I thought it would have had a different outcome at the rate the track was climbing.

While she's shamelessly going after some of that Gaga appeal in the video and I'm not exactly buying the song lyrics (or direction in sound) coming from Miley, it was nevertheless a Top 10-worthy song, because the video doesn't matter and the song could've been sung by anyone and I'd like it the same. Maybe that's why it didn't get far, though: because it was Miley and people weren't convinced it was authentic. It really bugs me, though, that this song burned out already when most of the songs on the Pop chart deserved it first.
