Deep Trackin' in the absence of the Drive@10.  Heard the l*o*n*g "Down By the River," followed by Nuge's mind journey.  Earlier it was Yes's "Changes," which I initially misidentified as Prince's "Batdance" (oh, how disappointed I was, especially considering I haven't heard "Batdance" since the summer of '89).

Ooh!  The WWF version of "Across the Universe" (with nature sound effects like bird calls and such, and a noticeably higher mix of Lennon's vocal).  I prefer this to the Let It Be version and *never* get to hear it.

Hoping for some Boz Scaggs later today: Dinah Flo, Look What You've Done To Me, You Can Have Me Anytime, it's all good.

My first thought was, "Vince McMahon doing the Beatles?" :shock:

But yeah, that version is superior -- it got considerable airplay back before Let It Be was released, unusual for an import album track to get played on Top 40 stations but then it was the Fab Four. The LIB version is proof that not everything Phil Spector touched was golden.

I'm guessing it's someone describing a Prince video?

Someone from the I Love Music message board deconstructing the lyrics to "Raspberry Beret."

Following up on that, I just learned this weekend that the use of "raspberry" to describe a farting noise is a rare example of rhyming-slang in American English: it was a truncation of "raspberry tart."

And a bit of How's Yer Father. well, that's not rhyming slang, but I've always liked it.  

My guess was based solely on the reference to Mr McGee. I never knew a raspberry was a fart; I thought it was sticking your tongue out and making a similar noise.

that's it - i don't think the raspberry is the actual fart. just the noise you make with your mouth. ?????

fascinating piece of trivia, though. i never knew american english had rhyming slang. never though about it, really. my limited knowledge of rhyming slang comes from to sir, with love.
