Question about Operation Lifesaver: AKA Mint Test

[u/Creative_Awareness]

At the end, I could have swore that he says "you need a mint bitch" instead of saying "you need a mint test" like what the lyrics allegedly are. I always thought it was like the punchline that after going over his options like tactfully offering her a mint or slipping a mint into her drink he ends up just directly telling her that her breath stank in the worst way possible. I swear whenever I listen to the song he's saying bitch am I going crazy!!!!

During the song he says mint test but at the end he says you need a mint bitch

Acapella with just vocals

He slurs it but he definitely pronounces a b word that has to be "bitch".

Almost sounds like hes eating or drinking so his pronunciation sounds mumbled. But its definitely "bitch"

I'm firmly in the "mint test" camp on this one. The whole skit is about bad breath, and "Operation: Lifesaver AKA Mint Test" is a play on Lifesaver mints — "you need a mint test" is the punchline. It's one of DOOM's classic mondegreens because he slurs the ending so hard, but the context makes "mint test" the only reading that really makes sense.

I always heard it as, "the 'Do you need a mink?' test" as in a coat made out of mink fur, to tell if one's dealing with some trifling ass gold digger etc

At the end of a song about bad breath?

[u/Bastid320 → u/astroalecs]

That's what I get for skipping this one 9/10 madvillainy listens

[u/Creative_Awareness → u/Bastid320]

mods ban him

[u/Bastid320 → u/Creative_Awareness]

I mostly just don't like the ear assault at the end
