Song lyrics as misheard by me which are better than the original, part XII

actual: "I might not have the power of telepathy,
but
I'm gonna be contacting you."

misheard by me: "I might not have the power to know baleaaepa about me,
but-
I'm good at contacting you!"

cos the song's about being an impish irritant, see? Love me or I'll love you back. Gonna get ya, get ya in the end.

Interesting band, Slow Club. I think the above mishearing succintly demonstrates that I don't listen too closely. And the reason for this is that Slow Club are just so absolutely average. Paul once talked about how he likes to listen to bad Queen albums to relax and I guess it's a similar thing. It's not quite muzak but it just music, like literally 'just music'. What do you wanna hear, James? Oh, some music, you know me. Put some music on. Ok. Here is music. This is what music sounds like.

Weird cos I usually hate the old easy-going unchallenging acoustic vibe

-last link there was a joke OBV. that album's amazing against all the odds and ain't never gonna say nothing against the song that this blog's epigraph comes from, sugar.

"Is making an act so asinine that no-one can possibly be challenged or offended by their music the same as them being everyone's favourite act?!"

-James Lightfoot on Take That. Maybe that's applicable here. Do like 'em though. Slow Club, that is. New album's shit, mind. 'Cos they tried to be distinctive! Ha. Mates of State they ain't despite their best wishes.

I'd like to take this opportunity, as I take any opportunity I get, to say of Rebecca Slow Club, just in case she's reading: I love you and everything you are and stand for. I want you in my eye, my heart, my vicinity, my life, my everything *defiantly holds gaze*.



sigh, flutter.

here's the antonym to that couplet
