Am I the only one here that's bothered by this? I can't be... right? I can usually overlook blatantly misspoken phrases, but not this one. It's NOTION, for god's sake.

/endrant

It can go either way. Motion is a court term, but it can be used in other contexts.

Guy 1: I wish to file a motion to blah blah blah
Guy2: I second that motion

GuyA: I wish to set in motion a plan that blah blah blah
GuyB: I second that motion

No need to get upset, your mixing things up

No, it's "motion". 

Herb's answer is correct.

you're all wrong

I knew that was coming!

ETA:  the inspiration for that song was actually the writer getting annoyed by people saying "notion" instead of "motion" when they used the phrase.

Lawyered.

So good!

You guys like that  music?  Let's keep it going.

^ I clicked on the first 3 links, and was like...damn, no Otis. Then total redemption. Very nice selections there Robin. 

very nice.

Yeah when I first got in to the oldies (around 10 years old) I was more in to Sam Cooke, theTemptations, Ben E. King and Nat King Cole, but as time went on my tastes changed to a different sound.
 
   In my teens I found my other ^^ selections and Otis and Percy especially seemed like they were singing from somewhere deeper than anything these days (or those days for that matter). 

Also a fan of Ella, Billie and these two:

Awesome, I second that notion.
