Where did you hear the song, what year, which concert, and which lead singer?

i'm not talking about a live version, i'm talking about the original recorded version, it's as if it's subliminal...it's probably just my imagination...lol

Re: do you hear what i hear?
Well, I just had to look that one up, here's what I found,
*******************************************************
Al Kooper signed Lynyrd Skynyrd to their first major contract, MCA, and produced their first three albums, including Second Helping, which featured "Sweet Home Alabama."
In fact, the Brooklyn-born Kooper is the "Yankee Slicker" Ronnie Van Zant is referring to in the song "Working for MCA."
And though you've probably never noticed it, that's Kooper doing a Neil Young imitation in what he calls a near-subliminal track on "Sweet Home."
Just after Van Zant says, "Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her," a barely audible Kooper sings in the left speaker, "Southern man, better use your head ..."
In an e-mail interview, Kooper said it was his idea to add the line. And nobody's ever noticed it before he tells them it's there.

Yes! Thank you for looking it up. I have heard it and thought it was completely intentional, and not really vague.
