No, this is not a place to rehash old rivalries so don't even start.
I'm talking about misunderstood lyrics in a song or when you catch a small portion of a conversation.
Example #1:
I like RUSH. You know, the band. Everything up to and including "Moving Pictures" makes my nads dance. After they moved "into our own" it lost something. Maybe I'm the one who lost something, but I digress.
One of their earlier songs was called "Bytor And The Snowdog". It descrbes an epic battle between good and evil (Bytor=bad, Snow... ah, you get it)
The album (yes, vinyl) was an anthology that contained their first three productions. Unfortunately it didn't have a lyric sheet for our stoned little minds to use as reference when we didn't understand part of a story. "Bytor..." held us in complete confusion for over a year. It was cleared up during a live concert when the words were spoken a bit more clearly.
This is what we heard:
"Bytor, knight of darkness (so good so far)
Set chown yunna viva.
Tell the crunch!"
Translated:
"Bytor, knight of darkness.
Centurion of evil.
Devil's prince."
Later in the story:
"Snowdog
Is pretonious."
Translated:
"Snowdog is victorious."
(I wonder now if I can assign a definition to "pretonious")
Example #2:
Two days ago I was in a grocery store and overheard an employee giving instruction to a patron...
"Go down all the way to the nuts..."
so sorrry still amusing can't type me so good http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/smile.gif
Aw DAMN that feels good http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
Give it up. Got anything similar?
