To reiterate and clarify what I wrote before:
–R’ Ovadiah is meikel even when it was used for a”z mamash, he doesn’t go with this Ram”a at all.
–The words most commonly sung today (even among goyim) as the pivotal punch line are ‘i feel it in my body, i feel it in my soul=ani margish zos begufi, beruchi ve’nishmasi’. These words are not inherently a”z whatsoever, just very open and vague and dependent on the kavanah of the singer–they could be sung with the intent of a”z or of connecting to something very kadosh, as there are plenty of sensitive neshamos–Jewish and goyish–that feel something deep in nature and don’t misconstrue it into a”z, and many if not most of the people who sing this song today–Jewish and goyish–have this kosher kavana in mind, thus making it arguable that even R’ Moshe would be meikel with it, thus being a legitimate basis for the current minhag Yisrael
