She's playing at the Prospect Park Bandshell, Brooklyn this Thursday. Four blocks from my apartment, and it's free. Not thrilled with the music but it's probably a good way to spend an early summer evening.

{#Roflol} Yep, I got that mondegreen too, and it made me wonder if you can get a little bit too close to goats :o)

Mind you, the last goat I got physically close to peed all over my leg whilst I was stroking it, and goat pee is rank, believe me. I keep them at arm's length these days.

 
Not to one-up you, but I once bought a car which had previously been stolen and then recovered from a farmer's paddock with one window left open next to the barn. In short, a billy goat had been inside the car while randy and left his persona all over. Nothing could remove the smell, although an Ozonator got rid of it, so long as it wasn't raining. Had to sell the car on a dry day.

Yeah, well, you know goats - they can be cruel. {#Lol}

well, it would be either a 3 or 9 for me. Not fair to average those so will abstain. Just not sure what to make of it yet. Interesting though.

Oh, romeo... thank you. It was a bad day then - it's now, now, and a different set of weird events. I still can't listen to this without getting stressed, but I'm sure it's only because I need SLOWER lately. This song is for the quick-witted, ADD generation. I'll get the lyrics and be able to make a somewhat intelligent post regarding the song. Meanwhile, well, hugging you.

Some words to describe it: neurotic, angst ridden, nervous, quirky for the sake of being quirky, repetitive, needy.... but still there I was tapping my foot for some strange reason. {#Stupid}

That's a neat Mondegreen.......Bill thinks so, too!

PS Mondegreen is named after the song where "they laid him on the green" was commonly heard as Lady Mondegreen.
I prefer "There's a bathroom on the right" myself....

That's certainly distinctive. There's a fine line between quirky and irritating, a line which wavers according to mood. Unfortunately my mood's a bit intolerant the now so this is the wrong side of the line, though maybe it'll be interesting when I'm in a more positive humour. 3 from the Nottingham jury and a mute.

"Shine" is a great track.  On this one her lazy vocals and enunciation detracts.
