Spike Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Nicely done! Just want to add that the toilet company is actually called Armitage Shanks (it's written on nearly all public toilets here, he must've been over in the UK when he saw it), he spelled it wrong. He's not the strongest when it comes to spelling, is he? See also: Novocaine and Passalacqua. 2 Quote
Certified Nimrod Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 He's not the strongest when it comes to spelling, is he? See also: Novocaine and Passalacqua. You'd think he would have someone check that stuff. Quote
Spike Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 You'd think he would have someone check that stuff. Exactly! I forgot about "Bab's Uvula Who?" as well. My favourite Green Day song and the grammar is wrong, it makes me cringe. Ugh. Quote
Jirachi Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Exactly! I forgot about "Bab's Uvula Who?" as well. My favourite Green Day song and the grammar is wrong, it makes me cringe. Ugh. why was it called Bab's uvula who anyway? Quote
Todd Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Didn't we just discuss all these songs like 2 months ago? GDC can be very repetitive Quote

Spike Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 why was it called Bab's uvula who anyway? It's from a knock knock joke on an SNL sketch involving an uvula doctor. "Knock knock, who's there, Babs' uvula, Babs' uvula who?" No idea why they used it for the title of the song though. And obviously since the woman in question is called Babs it should be "Babs' Uvula Who?" rather than "Bab's Uvula Who?" Didn't we just discuss all these songs like 2 months ago? GDC can be very repetitive GDC is a big forum and not everyone sees everything. Hard to imagine, I know Quote

I dunno if Billie is that smart, but it's a good justification in hindsight. 2 Quote
green day is Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I dunno if Billie is that smart, but it's a good justification in hindsight. lol I know, we talked about this before in some other thread. I've decided that anytime there's a possibility a Green Day song is better than I'd thought, I'm believing it is. Novacaine is a portmanteau, East Jesus Nowhere is in the nonatonic blues scale, 21 Guns modulates to the major key in the main riff, and Billie did all of this on purpose. Quote

Reader-response criticism FTW. 1 Quote
green day is Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Just because it's not the author's interpretation doesn't mean it's not valid. Reader-response criticism FTW. Death of the author is retarded, though. I'm just living in blissful ignorance until someone finally asks him about it. 1 Quote
Anaïs. Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Death of the author is retarded, though. I'm just living in blissful ignorance until someone finally asks him about it. Yeah, I was just being contrary more than anything. I do favor multiple interpretations of one work being valid, though. 1 Quote
Spike Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Yeah, I was just being contrary more than anything. I do favor multiple interpretations of one work being valid, though. I'm all in favour of multiple interpretations too (it's the best part of being a Manic Street Preachers fan!) but there's a difference between an interpretation and saying it's what the artist must have meant in the first instance.

TheXKidLife Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 What is The Boo's 7 inch EP (the family band, remember them?) actually called? Like, what's the EP's record title? Is it just 'The Boo'? Thanks. Quote
