The final version of the song "No Air" by Jordin Sparks, has the line:
"Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air?"
Prior to that, two other lyrics options were explored:
"Tell me how I’m supposed to walk with no legs?"
"Tell me how I’m supposed to talk with no voice?"
After much deliberation, executives from 19 records decided to research all 3 lines and found that:
35.5% agree that one cannot breathe with no air
36.2% agree that one cannot walk with no legs
28.3% agree that one cannot talk with no voice
Despite, "Tell me how I’m supposed to walk with no legs?" being the most popular choice, producers Erik "Bluetooth" Griggs and The Underdogs took a risk and went for the second most popular choice instead ("Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air?") because it was hard to find words that rhyme with "legs"
Their gamble paid of and the rest, as they say, is history.
