And what on earth does it mean?! You-vull-a. It's that thing in the back of your throat that like hangs down and looks like a punching bag. Sorry, worst description ever.
Hermione Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 You-vull-a. It's that thing in the back of your throat that like hangs down and looks like a punching bag. Sorry, worst description ever. I'd say that's a perfect description
Spike Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Bab's Uvula Who lyrics: 'audnfen MFMFEP wjdlfIEFIEM iefmkam#'; eifm and I'm all wound up!' And repeat. Also is it Uv-ooo-lah or Uv-you-lah? And what on earth does it mean?! I know this isn't what you're asking, but you might find it interesting: The title of the song is taken from a 1976 Saturday Night Live sketch called "Babs' Uvula", in which a uvula specialist (Chevy Chase) was playing the "Knock, knock, who's there" joke with his patient Babs (Gilda Radner): - Knock, knock. - Who's there? - Babs' uvula. - Babs' uvula who? ...which has pretty much nothing to do with the meaning of the song. Billie probably picked this line for a song title simply because he watched the sketch right before writing the song, or because it was a part of the inspiration, or just for the hell of giving the song a title that would have no connection with the meaning. As an aside, it's always pissed me off how they got the grammar of the title wrong. The woman is called Babs, so it should be Babs' Uvula Who, not Bab's.

The Disappearing Boy Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 What did those names come from? Mike asked Billie to pass him a Lackwah, and Billie was hit with inspiration.

Anaïs. Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Darth Praxus is American?! My life is a lie. You didn't know? Yeah, having Hitchens as my avatar doesn't help to unconfuse that issue. For some reason I just use a lot of Britishisms in my writing.
