Whilst it is true that doves do indeed have tear ducts, the emissions of which could possibly at a hell of a stretch be described as 'crying', they do not actually make any noise when they do so -- and they certainly do not 'scream'. Thus, in order to be factually correct, the lines in question should perhaps be "Why do we scream at each other? As unpleasant as it is, it in no way resembles the sound of Doves Crying; this is a more accurate representation", followed by a period of complete silence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_c2 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Being quite late on in their careers, I am surprised The Beatles needed to write an entire song "Something" (...in the way she moves.....reminds me of no other lover....blah blah blah). Its fairly obvious, its her derrière. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Napoleon surrendered to Captain Maitland onboard HMS Bellaphron then anchored at Rochefort on 15 July 1815 and not at Waterloo as ABBA would have you believe. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Prince in his 1995 hit "All that glitters" wrote "Even at the centre of the fire, there is cold" Prince may have been an iconic multi instrumental ,singer songwriter , performer recording artist but I do question his abilities as a physicist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) One for the older crowd. It is highly unlikely you will teach the world to sing, no matter how many people use Zoom. Even then “in perfect harmony”? No not going to happen. Whilst we are here, note I do not live in a yellow submarine. That song is therefore also a terminalogical inexactitude.

Dunno, in my teenage years, an ex who I stayed friends with phoned me to suggest I went out with her younger sister. Which I did for a year or so, quite happily.

NOT "in this ever changing world in which we live in"!!!!! Grrr!!!!!!!!!!!! This used to annoy me until someone pointed out the lyrics are not exactly as they sound. It should be '...and if this ever changing world in which we're living makes you give in and cry'. Which makes perfect sense. And which is also a shame as I was fond of a Macca rant.

Rich Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Mike Oldfield, 'Moonlight Shadow'. A repeat offender. "Carried away by a moonlight shadow" Shadows are by definition a characteristic of light. Light, whilst being an energy, is not tangible and is certainly not capable of lifting anything, let alone carrying it. "The trees that whisper in the evening" Regardless of what time of day it is, trees do not have vocal chords. "All she saw was a silhouette of a gun" One can only assume that the gun was somehow hovering in mid-air, otherwise the silhouette of the person or thing holding it would also have been visible. The supposition is therefore that the events were occurring in an empty zero-gravity environment. "Four A.M. in the morning" Oh dear. I don't think I need comment on this any further. "Stars roll slowly in a silvery night" Nights tend to be varying shades of extremely dark blue, or even black. If they were 'silvery' the stars would not be visible against their background. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bay Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 As far as I know John Lydon has yet to be confirmed as the antichrist, in fact I doubt someone like Bakunin would even recognise him as an anarchist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_c2 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Bowie, Starman: "Some cat was layin down some rock'n'roll" Anatomically, the domestic cat simply doesn't have the reach to play an electric or bass guitar with both hands, thus the proficiency on those instruments is sadly lacking. Drums too, their body weight is unlikely to operate the bass drum pedal with sufficient force to create a suitably-loud beat necessary for the genre. And their keyboard skills...... 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bay Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 To be fair to the Jam they do not state that the tube station was open, merely that they were in it at midnight. Perhaps a trainspotters lock in? Inadvertent problem following long visit to the Lav after a particularly vicious kebab? The possibilities are endless..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
