[No hobo] the verse in Whitesnake's #1 hit "Here I Go Again" was originally sung as "like a hobo I was born to walk alone" in the '82 version. The band changed it to "drifter" in the 1987 re-recording
The 1982 video features the band performing the song onstage, with drummer Cozy Powell sitting in for Ian Paice, who originally played on the track. This version is more bluesy, raw and understated than the later versions and includes the line “like a hobo I was born to walk alone," which was later replaced by “like a drifter …” because Coverdale was worried that the word “hobo” could be misheard as “homo."
