What is your great contribution to the Fall Lyrics Parade?
The Fall Lyrics Parade.

I was the guy who pointed out that on "Copped It" Gavin Friday was actually singing "It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it," where the site had previously (and ludicrously) listed the line as "Electric drill is the way that you do it." This was over ten years ago and Jonathan has still not publicly acknowledged me, though he did say via email at the time, "I think you're right."

I still have problems with some of the posted alleged lyrics for that song, but vita brevis and all that shit.

Anyway, what lyrics are you responsible for on The Fall Lyrics Parade?

If you haven't succeeded in influencing the Parade thus far, what are you contributing today? And if you don't know where to begin, let me just say that Tempo House really needs your help.

1. I corrected the mistake in "The Classical."
Originally, Jonathan had written "where are the obligatory people who won't get seated at Cracker Barrel?"

I corrected him. :thumbsup:

2. So he changed it to...
"Where are the sad fucks who blew a Motown contract?"

3. Has that ever been verified?
Or is it just an R&R urban legend?

5. Right. Even I knew that that that was Shoney's, not Cracker Barrel.
