Pain or 'tane
« on: February 18, 2009, 04:36:13 PM »
I didn't want to hijack the other hijack ...so I'm hittin ya with some knowledge.

Quote
The second line of the second verse has generated considerable confusion, and can be considered a type of mondegreen. Listeners have variously interpreted it as “pumped a lot of pain” and “pumped a lot of ’pane”, referring to propane, which is commonly used as a fuel. The controversy was further fueled by Ike & Tina Turner’s cover, in which Tina sings “pumped a lot of ’tane,” referring to octane, the grading scale and chemical in gasoline. The author, Fogerty, finally laid the confusion to rest, saying, “Sometimes I write words to songs because they sound cool to sing. Sometimes the listener doesn’t understand what I’m singing because I’m dedicated to singing the vowel, having fun with the word sounds coming out of my mouth. ‘Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,’ is a good example. I think Tina Turner sang '`tane' instead of 'pain,' as in a contracted form of 'octane'. But I knew what she meant.”

So there you both win.

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.

Yes, the pages and pages and pages and pages upon FUCKING PAGES suggests that this statement...is eh hem..  :bs: 

..unless you're referring to the fact that you continuously swat, flail, get pissed, deny it, release another fuck filled tirade and then claim you do it for fun...  then okay...   I get it.

I hear ya Mr. Message Board Head Writer.

Anyway... That's fine, but fact remains that when I post, regardless of when or where, you come running with your Billy the Boobie Club waiving in the air to take your swats.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."
