Funnily enough I was thinking about the song only yesterday. I finally realised that when he said "Do you want it pasteurised?" she thought he said "Do you want it past your eyes?"!
Incidentally there was a live studio version of the song in which he dressed as a cowboy and has never been repeated on television.
