"The famed chorus, "Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty", is thought to be a reference to heroin, Slash requested it be "Take me down to the paradise city where the girls are fat and they got big titties", but it was turned down."
Source?
Infact, most repeated, is that the original line was "Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is free and the girls are busy", but it was changed since it would be promoting drugs and prositution. 'Grass is green'is not an obious drug-reference enough to awake the studios feel for censorship. ~~ Zarkow

[edit] Similarities with Zero The Hero
The main guitar line and solo has a striking similarity to the 1983 Black Sabbath song "Zero the Hero". They even mention it in the liner notes in Castle's 1997 remaster of the Born Again album. 24.68.128.128 05:26, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Similarities with Macarena
Is it just me, or does the main riff sound oddly like the chorus of Macarena? Lord Of Demise (talk) 20:53, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
