Well, I listened to "Me & the Major" in the car on the hoof to work today and as we all now know, it IS mighty funny if the major is a midget... sorta sounds at one point like he's singing "me and the midget don't see eye to eye on the number of midgets..." ? heh heh My ridiculous ex-boyfriend (from many many moons ago) heard INXS' "Suicide Blonde" as "soup and salad bar"... and then my pal long ago thought that in the John Lennon song "Strange Days" or whatever it's called (can't remember - that's a while ago and it wasn't exactly my fave anyway) he sang "Nobody told me there'd be neglectees" (instead of "days like these"). Whatever neglectees are! I quite enjoy "Photo Jenny." That theme really winds through much of what they do... photos... Garbage... aptly titled. How dare they cancel B&S for that drivel? I'm off to frolic for the weekend starting this afternoon. I expect lots of B&S will fill my ears on the long ride home. And I thoroughly anticipate 300 list mails will greet me upon return! So long, kiddies!

            There's actually a word meaning "misheard lyrics" that I learned about due to a similar thread on the Trash Can Sinatras list. Unfortunately, it eludes me right now. If you know Trash Can Sinatras, you know why it showed up there. Anyways. I think my favorite one is from the end of the Smith's "Frankly, Mr. Shankly". I've always been rather convinced that the last line of the song is "oh give us money", or maybe even "oh give us your money", but on of the two. I have a friend who to this day SWEARS that he's saying "oh Yiddish Mummies." I like this game. -Jake +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
