Geek99 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Rod Stewart, mandolin wind ... so it never changed a thing... firstly mandolins don’t use wind, they’re stringed instruments you faux Scottish muppet, and secondly they don’t cause weather effects and thirdly ... exactly what life-changing effect were you expecting such a weedy instrument to wreak on your otherwise pointless life ?

Maybe he was talking about the construction of the G and D strings on the mandolin and it's just his funny Scots pronunciation of the tiny phosphor bronze wires that go around the steel cores on the two lower courses... Wind - as in rhymes with "find". If so, then it IS about time he changed the mandolin wind (and plain strings too, just changing the wound strings is a false economy and the plain ones will be just as dead)! 47 years is way too long to have one set of strings on there...

I was going to say that can't be Scots accent then..... but then I remembered a kid at School who was born and raised in England and spoke with a regular local accent. Until we heard him on the phone to his mum and he spoke in broad scottish accent! I didn't realise that was a thing until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 We had a lot of luck on Venus We always had a ball on Mars Meeting all the groovey people We've rocked the Milky Way so far Deep Purple failing to grasp the essential distance between galaxies and planets for that matter and the absence to this day of faster than light travel. Not to mention the hostile atmosphere on Venus and the complete absence of on on Mars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Musical Youth - Pass the Dutchie A Dutchie is a heavy cast iron cooking pot - not suitable for passing around from the left hand side, or indeed any other direction, and is more suited to central serving. Why didn't they simply replace the word "Dutchie" with an object which is commonly passed around? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 There was this song by a Spanish band where they sang something like "so many light years I've been waiting..." It makes my skin crawl everytime... a light year is a measure of distance not time!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 "Tsunami, tsunami wash over me" sang the Manic Street Preachers. Well, they certainly wouldn't be singing if a real tsunami did wash over them. It's all a bit insensitive to all of those who have been killed by the devastation caused by real big waves!

ubit Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 In the popular song from a couple of years ago Copa Cabana, Barry Manilow sings "there was blood and a single gunshot but just who shot who?" Later he sings that Lola has lost her love. So we now know that Rico must have been shot or arrested therefore we do know who was shot or who fired the shot which makes the whole thing a bit ridiculous!

Agreed that is silly. While it can be tricky to work out who shot someone, it is not often that complicated to work out who was shot. And if it is, then maybe it doesn't matter so much?

Not so much factually incorrect, more totally inconherant. with such gems as "Ride the tiger, You can see his stripes but you know he's clean, Oh don't you see what I mean? " - no Ronnie, we don't. " Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light " " It's like broken glass You get cut before you see it " " You've got wings of steel But they never really move you You only seem to crawl " " Don't hide in doorways You may find the key that opens up your soul " You are trying to sneak facts in here, the broken glass thing makes perfect sense. Even broken glass can be largely transparent, so the probability of sustaining a laceration before visually identifying the potential harm is high.
