The audio on that version of "I'm a believer" is really bad (or perhaps it's just my ears), but it sounds as if they kept the lines "without a trace / of doubt in my mind". FAIL.
Here are the lyrics via The Bayesian Songbook:
V1: I thought inference was just a fairy tale, / Confused by stats and probability, / Frequentist approaches (doo-doot doo-doot) / made no sense to me (doo-doot doo-doot) / Summarizing evidence by p?!
Chorus: Then I saw Tom Bayes — Now I'm a believer, / Without a trace of doubt in my mind, / [I'm a] Bayesian (ooooh) — Oh, I'm a believer — / I couldn't p now if I tried!
V2: I thought likelihood was just the only thing, / Turn the crank and get the MLE, / What's the use of thinking (doo-doot doo-doot) / Disconnect your brain (doo-doot doo-doot) / Play along and minimize the pain...
Chorus: (repeat)
Solo: (keys/guitar)
V3: SAS was out to get me (doo-doot doo-doot) / that's the way it seemed (doo-doot doo-doot) / Fixed effects and forced normality...
Chorus: (repeat 2x w/assorted hollering and out!)
