The other day I was randomly singing the song The Fear - Lily Allen and I was singing the 'and I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless, 'cause everyone knows that's how you get famous' part. Anyway, apparently I was singing it wrong because I said ''cause everyone knows just how you get famous'.
I argued that, to me, saying 'just' sounds better than 'that's' whether it was incorrect or not. It might seem like a silly and trivial thing, but does anybody else agree that 'just' sounds better because it leaves room for imagination? Saying 'that's' seems too straightforward to me... or maybe it's something else. I don't know. :/

"that's" links getting famous to nudity

"just" allows a broad range of activities ( ... insert dirty mind here) to be linked to getting famous

i think i prefer your version

'just' how you get famous and 'that's' how you get famous are both correct. it just depends on what you're wanting it to mean. either way they both make sense. to me they do, anyways. *shrug*

Yeah, I think "just" leaves room for the explicit side of your mind to go daft.
