My late husband's nickname for me was Maude.
Doo dee doo doo doo dee doo doo

So what (so what?) does the name Maude have to do with SAAA? Hmmm?

Clue us in please

It is just the way the guys write. I would suggest that you read the blog to get a sense of their style.
It is pretty "smartass" funny. I stayed up past midnight last night reading their running commentaries of RSINXS. Wish I had known of this blog then. Sure brought back some memories.
And....you can see a clip of Marty singing "Arms Wide Open" from the show.

if you dig Chicago-style humor (see Vince Vaughn, John Belushi, Bill Murray, hundreds more including all Second City alums,) then Leperpopblog is a must read. Funny as hell. Now what were we talking about? Oh, wrong lyrics.
Do you know, I kept singing "the power's inside of me" instead of "the battle's inside of me"? And "nobody's different here no more" instead of "nobody's safe round here no more."?
At least I didn't change the meaning too much. *blushes*
And speaking of Casualty, I was on a teadmill, watching Olympic highlights on a Japanese station (don't ask) while listening to Casualty. It was pretty cool watching snowboarders wipe out to that tune. It needs to be on a sports show or a war movie soundtrack IMHO.

I found I was singing yet another one wrong


"like a scared child under the blankets"

I'm sorry to report that the child was a stepchild in my version....

(and while posting this, I hear Marty coming on with Velvet on indiebandradio)

.....ah, sing it darlin'

[my0bsess10n/my0]

The song Rain on the brain
the line
I need you to comfort my pain
no matter how many times i sing it, it always comes out
I need you to comfort my "BRAIN"

[nyener]

I kept thinking in Clouds that it said LOST ALONG THE WAY- wrong!!!
And in The Tunnel- i thought they said- and the distance has been voodoo on my mind- again
WRONG- thank god they put the lyrics with the new CD.

[gingerpyle]

I thought

Lost the night away....

actually what is it supposed to be? I forget..lol...better go read the lyric booklet again.......sheesh!


Welcome to the boards, Nyener!

Velvet -

I keep singing "distance, Houston" instead of "distance, you stand."


Morphine -

My hubby thinks every time he says "then he" it's "Lenny", their drug dealer.

[gingerpyle]

It isn't Distance? Houston?

LOLOLOL!

I've been singing it that way too!

I always sing "dance in my room alone" at the opening of Call of Distress, instead of "days in my room alone", I know the real words but they always seem to escape me.

[gingerpyle]

The librarian steps in

Do you guys know that Mayday! is actually from the French for m'aidez?? Thus, "help me!"

That just popped into my head so I answered the voice and told ya!!
Maybe one of you is soon to be on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and won't need to use a lifeline.....

"Something something down to the middle...doo doo doo, yes it do..." That's how I sang it before I knew it was called "The Riddle" LOL

That's close to what I thought it was! I thought it was, "There's got to be something more to the MIDDLE..."

;D Funny stuff.

I forgot about this thread. But I was re-reading it and thought it was time to fess up. For the longest time I thought they were saying--"I'm melting" rather than "and will she" in Give it up

I still sing it that way sometimes. I guess it's a Wizard of Oz thing. ;D

"like a scared child under the blankets"

I'm sorry to report that the child was a stepchild in my version....

My version is dorkier ... "Like a skecher under the blankets"

I used to think how it is to be compared like half a pair of shoe hiding under the blankets

[RayneDove]

My Mom use to say that to me when she caught me on something. Its an old saying "got eyes in the back of my head". Then Marty says "and I know what you did". He didn't like what she did thats for sure. I just love Marty' lyrics.

I totally agree with you about 'kiss is like a handshake'...she gives them out like they are nothing special. So he asks "what about me?"

What does "Got eyes in the back of my head, and I know what you did" refer to.....?? I'm thinking it's about the prescription papers!
