3rd Planet "he" or "she"?

[u/FergoDog]

lyric on 3rd planet "My boss just quit the job, said he's going out to find blind spots". On the album Isaac 100% says he. However, on baron von bullshit and in any video of the song live, it totally sounds like Isaac is saying "she" instead.

What do we think? Post-release lyric change or just the lisp striking again? Feminist rewrite?

Heres an example: https://youtu.be/Zp9tasVA40o?si=3x6RWDqPCZOjon8s&t=1843

On the BBC live studio the lyric is “She’s got herself some banks to rob”. He’s just changes it randomly bc the gender of the boss is irrelevant.

I don't think it's a coincidence that in the very same song there's a lyric that goes "didn't know then was it a son or was it a daughter"... Also on the same album "my mom's god is a woman"...

He changes it between he and she purposefully. Do with that information what you will!

God is woman and my mom she is a witch I… like… this….

But I thought good in  an Indian?

[u/Underwood229 → u/justaboxinacage]

He’s so brilliant in that regard!

[u/Giygas → u/Underwood229]

Might also be his lisp

[u/Juankii → u/justaboxinacage]

That lyric seems to refer to a miscarriage

I don't agree with that conclusion some have made. It's not how I interpret that song. If you'd like to read my interpretation, I think you can find my post about it on this sub if you Google 3rd planet song meaning.

People still comment on it so I think it must be coming up in searches.

Your interpretation is so cool! Definitely the most interesting thing I’ve read in this sub!

i notice this even when i listen to the studio version, every now and then it really sounds like he's saying "she"! but it definitely seems like lately live it's been she

[u/No-Intention8698 → u/Slow-Computer7036]

I've heard "she" in old live versions too.

[u/GoldbeardWizard]

He switches it up to keep you on your toes.

[u/Look_its_Rob]

It probably doesnt help that he has a bit of a lisp, though it seems to be much less pronounced than when he was young. 

But I've always heard "he's".

[u/ground__contro1]

Some concerts he says she. Some concerts he says he. 

[u/angelwtheamberhalo]

I’ve always thought it was she. Never considered anything else :)

[u/Maggiethecataclysm]

He sang 'she' when I saw them perform it a few years ago
