It's my errant hearing of the line in Holy Grail where they say to get the cow.  I spose it should actually be cherchez, based on what my trusty online translator says.

Katrina for everybody else, but welcome sledgehammer for me.  Spent the summer of '77 wokring on my uncle's farm in Illinois, and he had AM radios mounted on his tractors & in the milking parlor.  So we heard the same songs every 120 minutes, all day, and this was one of the few that we never got tired of.

Aaah...can't believe I missed a Python reference, but your hearing is not at fault.  My Monty Python reference book* has it as "fetchez la vache".  In which case the meaning is transparent.

Heard the replay, and dunno if we've discussed this before, but Dave pronounced Mr. Savannah's lader as "Byew-ZARD" rather than "Buzzard."  Is that correct?  (I once had a college roommate with the last name Bussard, but it was pronounced like the bird.)

Nice set, BOS to Barry's last big hit.

Dave always pronounces it that way -- there was a major debate about it some years back, and he claims someone close to the band told him it is indeed  "byew-ZARD".
