Nickelback RockStar lyrics - does anyone else remember the word hooker in the original unedited version?
I have a $5 bet with my daughter. I remember the first time I heard the song Rockstar, it said the word 'Hookers' in place of 'girls'. in addition to the other words, which she isnt arguing. Can anyone else remember it?
again, I believe it was in the unedited, not pc version that is played on the radio or was released on the album. it was the video, it came out on vh1 I think, and I know I heard the word hookers in there somewhere. Thanks Stevie B but I need a little more concrete answer if I'm going to win this bet! ;^)
Thanks everybody.

No the word hookers is not in the song Rockstar by Nickelback. That is my favorite songs and I listen to it over and over and never once heard the word hookers in place of girls in the unedited version

I have the CD, and the word "hooker" isn't in the lyrics on the CD. They may have said it at a live show somewhere, but not on the studio version.
Although they do say that the girls come easy... which indicates that they aren't exactly the morally upstanding young women that people associate with church groups... Doesn't mean they're hookers, though.

I think your both right.
I think there are 3 versions (album, radio and unedited).
I heard an unedited version on satellite radio that said "the girls come easy and the hookers come cheap" but the album version is below:
"I'm through with standing in line
to the clubs i'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
quite the way I want it to be
(tell me what you want
I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me
(yeah,so what you need)
I'll need a, a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
And my own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how ya gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
with her bleach blonde hair
and well..
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I have a quesadilla... on the house)
I'm gonna dress my ***
with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me
(So how ya gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
with her bleach blonde hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary
in today's who's who
We'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial
well..
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs
that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
from a pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
with her bleach blonde hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary
in today's who's who
We'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial well..
