Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004OT: Mis-heard song lyrics
I turned on the radio this afternoon and heard "Hotel California" (the original version). I always adored that song from the moment it was released by The Eagles in 1976. But, in the course of the lyrics I remember hearing "Goodnight said the madman"... of course, it was the "nightman" (as in desk clerk; consierge; etc.) Jill Those are called 'mondegreens,' as in "They laid him mondegreen." Of course you realize I have to dig out that record and check the lyrics. :-) Actually, the only reason I ever listen to it is to admire the guitar work. > I turned on the radio this afternoon and heard "Hotel California" (the > original version).

And every time I stepped out of the car to relieve myself, the sheep would back towards me with expectant looks on their faces. I used to think Jimmy Buffet was singing "jigger of salt" instead of shaker, and a warm wind was to blame, not a woman. There's two books out on misheard song lyrics, hysterical. One is called "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" (Hendrix - kiss the sky). Funny book. > Those are called 'mondegreens,' as in "They laid him mondegreen."

I always was a fan. IIRC was a Giannini 12-string Craviola... no, wait, that was Steve Howe from YES playing 'Mood for a Day'.

Never reach a verdict. OH, man. Eric Clapton. No contest. Sherry You are so right, it was Jimi....who left us same year same reason as Janis. Clapton's name does indeed come up. We have difficulty enough as Eddie is better looking than some, but the group you've thrown us (Richie, John M.) add to this dilemma. Good looking does not a champ gittar player make, right? IMHO Beck, Hendrix, Satriani and Clapton's looks are so-so. OTOH, those who are dead have kinda eliminated themselves from current competition by default. Have to keep kicking ourselves and repeating, "Cute does not make best gittar player!". Dead or alive. : > A group of friends and I regularly get together to argue vigorously over : > which dude was the greatest gittar player: Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy : > Hendrix, or Joe Satriani.

Oh, girlfriend. Eric Clapton so so??? I beg to differ. I think he's quite hot. (Also, he seems to be one of the few rockers who is aging gracefully. He *and* his music have mellowed--he's not out jumping around like a bantam rooster on amphetamines, which is what Mick Jagger reminds me of) Sherry Now, you're the one who compared Eric to Mick, Sherry, and if you put it that way, Clapton is a hottie indeed. I may not think he's *the* hottie, but I always think about what happened to his little boy when I hear his name....so sad beyond words, beyond hurt. Mick J. has always reminded me of his younger frontman copier, Diamond Dave Lee Roth. The older both of them get, the more I think "time to retire" but they never do. : IMHO Beck, Hendrix, Satriani and Clapton's looks are so-so. : [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] : : Sherry >Now, you're the one who compared Eric to Mick, Sherry, and if you put it >that way, Clapton is a hottie indeed.

OTOH, those stage antics take a great deal physical endurance, so you gotta hand it to them -- I don't how *how*, but they must be in good physical condition.
