"just to be the man who walked one kilomile and fall down at your door" doesn't have the same ring

It does still fit the same meter, at least.

Also "cause you know I'd walk a kilomile if I could just see you tonight"

But, that's wrong...1 kilomile is 1000 miles not 1000 meters, that would be 1 kilometer...
so one mile is 1600 meters which makes one kilomile about 1'600'000 meters (rounded) so it would be 1'600'000/4.1 = 390'243 vw beetles

Where do they use a ' to denote 1000 grouping???? That's scary.

Y es the kilomile thing, that's why its so much more better! LOL AI thinks 1kilomile is 1000km so we should use AI for everything!
