But then, then I recall this gem from the professionals of yore:<br /><br /> "Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu..."<br /><br />Speaking of the Beatles, you may like this substantial biography:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Cant-Buy-Me-Love-Beatles/dp/0307353389/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265730004&sr=8-4kkollwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691145638703824456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858684610739447040.post-13213114883546187422010-02-04T21:42:18.702-06:002010-02-04T21:42:18.702-06:00Hey, good to hear from you!

A co-worker and I did some of the very same "research" not too long ago on Elton John's "Saturday Nights Alright for fightin'" with some rather hilarious results.<br />for what its worth, I thought your version was better too. Thanks for the chuckle.eutychushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358483532981233704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858684610739447040.post-53969406707557527802010-02-04T11:11:46.995-06:002010-02-04T11:11:46.995-06:00I could not help thinking of my many research effo...I could not help thinking of my many research efforts to discover the actual lyrics of songs I liked. One of my biggest disappointments came with Led Zeppelin's "Going to California" off their 1971 fourth album. The actual lyric begins, "Spend my days with a woman unkind, smoke my stuff and drink all my wine." I was diappointed not only at the approximate rhyme between "unkind" and "wine," but because the lyric was not what I had thought it was. I had long thought Robert Plant was singing, "Spend my days with my woman and kine..." For those not in the know, "kine" is the archaic version of "cattle." Not only would this have been a more precise rhyme with "wine," but it would have painted a more gentle, bucolic picture of a man and a woman on a farm enjoying life. I still think my version would have been better!Magister Christianushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087270710114392727noreply@blogger.com
