Dream Girl ,'Bring On The Night'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
It's a big word for "misheard lyric," right? Of which "'scuse me while I kiss this guy" is the most famous?
Right! It came from an old folk song where the lyric goes something like "They have killed Lord So-and-so/ and laid him on the Green" which got misheard as "They have killed Lord So-and-so/ and Lady Mondegreen"
Totally different than filk.(My definition of filk is a bit different than the Buffista definition, but I won't go in to that here)
Heaven's just a funky moose. IJS.
Ed Crawford should sue their asses.
The term comes from the mishearing "Lady Mondegreen" for "laid him on the green."
How was Calexico, Jon?
I've got two of their discs, both of which I love, and I noticed they seem to get to town semi-regularly.
Heh. Thinking back, I may have heard them for the first time on your show.
How was Calexico, Jon?
See them. At your earliest convenience. I've seen them many times -- they never disappoint and are often transcendent.

I second that recommendation. Calexico never fails to be fascinating.
I know EFO! I used to work for a small music management company that handled their merch.
Rock! I'm glad they're at least somewhat known. Now I just have to make fans out of you.
My reactions to various commercial co-options...
My favourite of these was an Australian airline (now defunct) that used The Who's "My Generation" as a theme tune. Dudes, you're an airline. You're using a song that includes the lyrics "I hope I die before I get old." Think about it.
