RE: Sinister: American Pernod with your older sister
Hello again Sinister As the Pinefox has just so ably pointed out, in a break from proofreading his book to proofread my emails (and I am grateful to him for it):
The song about the frog is called 'Funny Little Frog'.Of course, it is (although I dispute whether the song is about an actual frog). However, on the set list I pilfered, it very clearly says "funny looking frog" (all in lower case, in a variation of Clarendon by the looks of things, font fans). Had I registered this error when transcribing, instead of just soldiering on, I would've added the word 'sic' in square brackets, so the fault is both mine and the writer of the set list. Perhaps Belle & Sebastian aren't so aware of the correct names of their extensive catalogue these days.
In other proofreading news, there were two erroneous inclusions of the word "an" in my previous post too - award yourself a listen to your favourite two Belle & Sebastian songs if you managed to spot them.

I agree. The song is not about an actual frog. In fact it is barely even about a metaphorical frog. As far as I can remember it is about an imaginary romance. I associate the song, a little bit, with Kenneth Chu, not because his romances are ever imaginary but because he was one of the first people to draw it to our, or at least my, attention here on sinister in perhaps early 2006. He probably made various puns about it too. I feel that it is time for Sister Disco to contribute but I also fear that Sister Disco is not reading this. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
