The song in question is a Hawaiian cover of the 1979 country song "If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body Would You Hold it Against Me." The particular lyric of interest is at the 17 second mark I did not alter the uploaded snippet:
"If I Swore You Were An ANGEL would you treat me like the devil tonight?"

I do not hear the word Angel in this song. I hear the word NIGGER. And I need confirmation I'm not the only one who hears it that way. I thought about putting this thread in the Music Board but I think this is more deserving of Mass Debate. I don't think I'm that racist to hear "nigger" randomly in music I think a "Yanni or Laurel" situation is going on here.
 
YouTuber Wilburger had to censor the name of a character called Inigo because the algo kept thinking he said 'a nigger'. This kinda sounds like that to me, like he's singing 'you were an-iggr' or something. I don't hear the word 'angel' in there, I hear a clear -er at the end.

It's how he's say "An Angel" you're hearing it as nigger (CHUD) but he's saying angel. If he was saying nigger they would have noticed in recording booth before the video was shot.
 
I have 1 example that's a bit weird but that's all that comes to mind.

Here's a RedLetterMedia video.
Skip to 16:30, they're watching some weird Christian music video, just listen for a minute or so.
 
It's actually common for the word "angel" to sound like "nigger" in songs.
I can't give you specific examples but I've heard this kind of thing several times already and, if you look for it online, you can find it.
So that one radio buttrock song from 20 years ago was actually saying "lips of a nigger" the entire time? Wow, maybe it was secretly based after all.
 
It's a common thing in southern dialects where you don't directly pronounce vowels but instead replace them with guttural stops, like how most people pronounce Britain as "bri'in". In the song I think he's pronouncing angel like 'ng'l, (the ' are supposed to represent guttural stops) you combine that with the drawl, and you get a " 'ng'ual " which can sound like nigger, especially mixed in with the autotune making it harder to hear.
