Dumb question....about song titles
« on: June 16, 2023, 11:57:58 AM »
Is there any connection/background to "Another Won" and "Two Far"?  I was listening to some older stuff and heard "Two Far" then saw "Another Won referenced in the RCMH thread.  Both songs have puns on numbers in the title, but neither one actually says either phrase in the song.   

Coincidence?

Probably just 18 year olds trying to be clever.

I don't believe there was anything specific in Lifting Shadows or the mp.faq.  Therefore, my assumption is that they thought it was a little funny and then did it a second time with whichever song came second.  I guess they got bored with it since we didn't get "Cry Four Freedom."

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Totally this. I thought there were a couple other song titles of theirs with similar wordplay but I’m drawing a blank at the moment.

Holy shit. It just clicked they had a song called The Saurus. Damn. Cringey right out of the gate.

Should have just got for broke and called thr other songs You're Majesty and March of the Tire Ant.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Dunno, but I'm going to beg JP to work both of these into the setlist ASAP.

I know this is a joke, but I seriously think it'd be awesome if they added one or two of the og songs to the set sometime. Maybe for their 40th anniv.? I really hope they plan something better then than just playing PMU, TSCO, AIA and the other "hits" they've been playing a lot recently.
