Why has Robert Johnson got methane on his mind?

posted by [personal profile] devilgate at 11:23pm on 26/05/2003
I was listening to The Complete Recordings earlier, and in the first of two versions of 'Rambling On My Mind' (though not in the second), he sings (I'm sure), "I got methane on my mind".

You don't want to dig too deeply into these things, though: they can spoil things.

I feel the need to quote Billy Bragg at this point: "The temptation/to take the precious things we have apart to see how they work/must be resisted for they never fit together again". Not quite what he was talking about, but still.

Bah. I liked your version better. Of course, just because he didn't write it that way doesn't mean you can't...

The best place to read about Mondegreens is, I believe, http://www.kissthisguy.com.

That site used to be quite good but they seem to have killed it with badly executed frames.

Tubthumping seems to be the best one.

That's amusing too but it's just making me smirk a bit. Are you *trying* to make me laugh out loud at work?

That's a shocking suggestion.
