in the song "alpha beta parking lot', there's a misspelling of the word "watching" at the end of the last verse . -eric ramos, dayton, nv shamly says: thanks!

Hello, Shamly.

I like your page, but there is one correction I would offer.
In Nugget, you have: "heads of state who writhe and wrangle..."
I would change it to, "heads of state who ride and wrangle..."

Not only does it sound (to me) more like the word ride than the word writhe, but there is a logical connection between the two words, wrangle and ride.

The word wrangle has many meanings, one has to do with arguing, bickering, disputing, etc. And the other has to do with herding and caring for livestock, especially horses. Considering that a wrangler (as in a cowboy) rides horses, I think that it is logical to say that the band put these words together on purpose.

When I first listened to the song, I had the image of heads of state riding around on horses, herding peole as they cut them "from their bloated budgets like sharpened knives through chicken McNuggets".

I don't know, maybe the image is a little far fetched, but I'm certain that (as I listen to the song) John McCrea says the word ride and not writhe. Thank you for your time, and if you decide not to change it, I would appreciate a reply informing me of your reasoning.

Thanks, MeLikeBrownies (a.k.a. J.P.)

shamly says: agree.
I just like the word "writhe"

I have nothing against your site, I love it. I just wanted to tell you there is a spelling error on the lyrics page for Fasion Nugget, the song title Sad Songs and Waltzes, is mispelled at the bottem of the page [Sad Songs and Waltes]. Sorry if you take this as critisism, I assure you it is not, just thought you'd like to know.
