Journal pudge's Journal: Breakfast With Laertes 1

Journal by pudge on Wednesday January 03, 2007 @05:17PM

I just rented The Weird Al Show on DVD. It was a Saturday morning kids show in the 90s.

Episode 1 of this show is where I first saw/heard/heard of Barenaked Ladies. Except when Weird Al introduced them, I thought he said "Breakfast With Laertes." They played "Shoebox," and I instantly dug their music.

I don't know why I heard that. I couldn't rewind (no TiVo back then), and watching the DVD now, it seems obvious to me what he actually said. Google shows no other people who mention "Breakfast With Laertes." Maybe I will use it as an album title.

Also, I am the only person Google knows of who used "The December 1sts" to refer to "The Decemberists."

Mostly, I heard lyrics differently -- not groups.

AC/DC: Money Talks:

They say: Come on, come on, love me for the money
Come on,come on, listen to the moneytalk
Come on, come on, love mefor the money

I hear: "Come on, come on, do the hokey pokey". Well, not really, but I DID leap in to my mind...
