Now I’m mumblin’ and I’m screamin’
And I don’t know what I’m singin’
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin’
I still don’t know what I’m singin’
We’re so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents
They like to make you think there is only one – but in fact they are many. That’s why people always tell you to beware of them – they are sneaky devils.
Random thoughts:
– Wasn’t there a rock or pop group called The Ides Of March? I seem to remember that. I don’t remember if they could enunciate, though.
– I do know Jeff Foxworthy said the reason so many Nascar fans hate Jeff Gordon is because he enunciates. I guess Nascar fans don’t like to be enunciated at.
– Enunciate. Sounds like the name of a blog for nuns.
– Enunciate sounds like “A nun, she ate?” That’s just silly.
Jeff Foxworthy was wrong, however, Infidel. I hated Jeff Gordon when he showed up in that rainbow outfit and with that high school moustache, trying to look like the Intimidator.
I will, of course, admit that I don’t trust any race car driver who pronounces trying with the g. If you’re a country boy, Yankee or Dixie, you don’t pronounce the g.
“Jeff Foxworthy was wrong, however, Infidel. I hated Jeff Gordon when he showed up in that rainbow outfit and with that high school moustache, trying to look like the Intimidator.”
I’ll have to take your word for it, Marko, since I’ve never watched a Nascar event. But showing up with a rainbow outfit is a good enough reason to hate him in my book.
It’s obvious to me opera and Irish ballads are part of an international conspiracy against enunciation. They better keep their filthy hands off my bacon!
Proud Infidel:
“Ides of March” had a hit around 40 years ago entitled “Vehicle.”
I’m the friendly stranger in the black sedan; won’t you hop inside my car.
I got pictures, got candy, I’m a lovable man and I can take you to the nearest star.
I’m your vehicle, baby. I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go.
I’m your vehicle, woman, but now I’m sure you know…
That I love you, I need you, I want you, got to have you child.
Great God in Heaven you know I love you.
No actually Marco is correct. Have you ever listened to the music of Flogging Molly or The Dropkick Murphy’s? They are a perfect example of what he is talking about.
Rock singers don’t annunciate their words in songs because they own all those ‘Lyrics To Songs’ Websites.
Either that, or, Bob Dylan is an epidemic, contageous disease.
The I’des of March: I’d rather it was still February…..I’d start spring cleaning, but it’s still muddy March…..I’d be much happier if we didn’t do Daylight Savings Time….
I’d be wearing summer clothes, but it’s only March…..”I’d prefer not to go to the Theatre of Pompey on the 15th of March.”—-Julius Caesar
It’s not only the Ides. Roman months also had Nones and Calends. I hope that there weren’t too many of each of them, because there isn’t room for more than ten or so each in a month.
It makes the songs last longer.
It’s the Nirvana lesson ala Weird Al:
Now I’m mumblin’ and I’m screamin’

I guess oen Ide in the hand is worth two in the bush? I have no IDEa.
Most of the new “hit” singers mumble in song and speech. Must be a requirement to be a hit is to be non-understandable.
Non-understandable is a Science! word.

It ides in deh booshes an den it pounces on yer edd. Is why it called “march madness”.

Hard drives from the March Corporation. They went out of business in 44BCE.
You think rock singers are bad? Try opera. You can’t understand a single word they say.
You think opera is bad? Try Irish ballads. You can’t understand a single word they say. And they’re singing in English!

I blame the Beatles. End of story.

Ah, my days as a radio DJ in the 70s…
Cut’em some slack; it’ hard to enunciate when you’re drunk and/or high. Just listen to any ted kennedy speech.
““Ides of March” had a hit around 40 years ago entitled “Vehicle.”
Thanks Basil, I remember it now. Good song, too. Well enunciated…
Marko, there is RAAAACIST! against the Irish, you are.

Aye boyo, th’ Dropkick Murphy’s’ll kick your arse n’ not spill a drop!

“Why are rock singers always rebelling against enunciation?”
Don’t know. Why are rappers all so angry?
Marco has a point about pronunskiation.
