how do other features fans quote or misquote The Features? Does anyone else have an example of some clever way they've warped or taken a line out of context? Not as in their rendition of the lyrics, but rather, stories of how they've used them.

I thought of a theme song for a Cannibal reality tv-show, "Little fingers, little toes, it's the little things I like to toast."

I would check the Lyrics & Tabs section. If they haven't been edited, there were some interesting interpretations. Everyone has something different for the line in Circus (I hear "hand job clear" rather than "hot tub lid"). Then there is the infamous "In Peru"/"In Her Room" debate over the Beginning. And I do believe someone once thought the line in Leave It All Behind was "Move to the country where the ghost is clear/ghost is clear."

for the longest time i thought the line in "exorcising demons" was "even though it kinda stinks" intstead of "even though it kinda stings." this one little lyric killed me. i thought it was so stupid and disliked the song because of it. since i've learned to correct lyric, though, it has earned much more of my respect (even though it's still not one of my favorites).

and i still sing "but i've got my head tapped in" (even though i thought i heard an "L" sound somewhere in there at the vandy show).

It actually does sound a lot like that. I think he's saying (after FlyingFeaturesFan mentioned it) "I've got my head to live." Why doesn't someone ask one of them and get this whole mystery solved?

A friend of mine was having trouble with his girlfriend and I just started quoting the lyrics to Exorcising Demons, but not in song form.

You're staying with a friend of yours? Cause at home the tension's running high? You both agree it's for the best.. but maybe you're wrong.

He didn't realize it was a song and thought I was really being poetic and feeling his pain.

Whoa whoa whoa, this is an internet discussion board! That means that we have all kinds of opinions and interesting things to say, but little ability for social contact, especially to one as admired as Matt Pelham.

sucker.....

That's cool.

HEY. Speak for yourself, I'm like the complete opposite (which is just as bad). I would ask, but with Matt I have neither intresting things to say nor ability for social contact.

I have asked him (for professional and "just plain ass curious" reasons) and he just asks me what I think it is. I have no clue. I don't think he does either... maybe its just babble.

i woner if matt does have a clue what he's singing sometimes.

ie "cattle and robin hood" c'mon matt, you can do better than THAT.

ps this does not diminish my obsession, for the record.

Of course he can.

"Children and robin hood."

Well, everytime I buy or eat my Morning Star fake buffalo wings, I have to sing "buffalo wings...buffalo wings...buffalo wings". Seriously, I do it everytime I see them.

Yeah. I'm a retard and thought that was the verse. I had always mistaken that phrase anyway. The ghost is clear/coast is clear one, of course. But, thanks to The Features and you lovely people, it has been corrected.

i want you to know how happy that makes me.

Well, I do what I can...

Do you do the same thing or something?

no, but i love morning star and i love buffalo head and i love making up new words to songs. it sounds like somethign i would do, anyway.

I see. We should meet up sometime and eat Morning Star products while singing "Buffalo Head" with new words that we've made up.

Are you girls flirting with one another? If so, that would be so hott.

Back to the topic: I like to relate all Features lyrics to the almighty Daigle (see last and current signature). Try not to sing it when you read it. You can't!

A two-pronged tribute to Eno2:

After all complaints are filed
Underneath the growing pile
I can't stand to see Daigle.
