Thank you.

It scans better to my ear this way. Like this:

The original line:
Could make you want to stay awake at night
My line:
I de as make you stay awake at night

Oh, and if you're wondering about the scansion of
the title, I sing it so the second syllable is stressed, to fit it all in:
The original line:
Nine -ty- nine point nine Fahrenheit degrees
My line:
Four-Hun-dred -fif- ty one Fahrenheit degrees

Also, I just edited the lyrics and changed "you could be normal" to "you should be normal".

I was always amazed that she managed to make the word 'Farenheit' scan with anything, ever

Mm? She didn't use "Fahrenheit at the end of any lines, so I'm not sure where you're seeing her rhyming it.
