I-95 doesn't go through Detroit, I-75 does

I am surprised thi8s criticism of the song is not mentioned here. The song clearly mentions I-95, not I-75 which does go through Detroit and is a major freeway in Detroit/Michigan. Does anyone have a defense for this error? Or did they just not check anything? WHy would they do that? Dachande (talk) 17:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm....I don't think you're taking the lyric in proper context. Directly from the inner sleeve of Destroyer, which contained the first printed KISS lyrics (but only for this particular song), the lyric is: "Movin fast, doin' 95/Hit top speed but I'm still movnig much too slow". Based on this, the 95 in the verse is an obvious reference to the position of the needle on the speedometer of the vehicle and the vehicle's speed, not the road traveled. 76.214.206.174 (talk) 01:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's what happens when you listen instead of read. I heard "Movin' fast DOWN 95..." which would imply a highway. I agree and retract my objection. (Wow, I feel like the King of all the Assholes.) Dachande (talk) 16:54, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
