I think it’s just a bit of fun and not meant to be taken literally. Quote

NickD Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Obviously he couldn't have known, so it's hardly his fault, but Elvis Costello claimed "...when they finally put you in the ground, I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down". Unfortunately for the accuracy of his lyrics, Thatcher was cremated. Quote

This 'misheard lyrics' website has been going since at least the late 1990s 👍 https://www.kissthisguy.com/ And before that, Usenet. A term often used for this kind of audio brainfart is 'mondegreen', coined by Sylvia Wright in 1954. Quote

Nicko Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 When Springsteen sang "You can't start a fire without a spark" he was displaying an absolute lack of understanding of auto-ignition temperature, pyrophoric substances and the basic mechanism of lighting a match. Non safety matches ignite due to the friction generated overcoming the activation energy of the highly unstable phosphorous which then spontaneously combusts, and its this that creates the spark. It isn't the spark causing the flame. 4 Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Furthermore, referencing the same song, I'm fairly sure that it's not legal to operate a firearm rental service. It is, therefore, unlikely that his gun is for hire. 1 Quote
SpondonBassed Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Deacon Blue, Dignity. Oi! Ricky Ross! You can NOT have it both ways. "He never lets on but I know 'cause he once told me" Is it never or once? Make your flipping mind up. Quote
Nail Soup Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 According to the Jacksons ABC is as easy as 123. This completely disregards the fact that many people find numerical tasks simpler than language tasks (or vice versa). 1 Quote

Indeed; my brother-in-law (who is dyslexic) and my friend from music college (who is Dyscalculic) would argue this point at length. Quote
