Just to clear my name of any alleged misconduct:

I sent an e-mail to Dena Cohen. This alone meant nothing. However, if you examine the text of the e-mail, I wrote a different mishearing of the lyrics than Cozimjewish did. This seems to imply that I listened to the song in question, which according to most opinions would not be permissible if I was male. But does it? Consider this scenario (assuming I’m male):

Wanting to make it clear that the e-mail did not come from Cozimjewish, and not yet intending to post the e-mails, I ask my sister (>see here<), or some other person whose existence is not testified to by any CR posts, to listen to the song (which turns out to be previewable) and see what they think it says. I then use their impression for the e-mail.

Now, I am not saying that that is what actually happened – I am just pointing out that I would not have had to listen to the song myself to send the e-mail that I did. It cannot be used as evidence that I hold of heteirim for kol isha or “can’t help [myself], R”L.”
