And we could go to a Meadowlark Lemon seminar
File Prag Vec At The Melkweg under the “please don’t ask me to explain this one” category. Some baffling references – I can’t find any reason to reference (presumably Craig) Stadler’s caddy, but hey, somehow the whole still manages to be amusing.

Never managed to decipher “doctored my edible thong with listeria” before. It’s instantly my favourite line.
The project goes from strength to strength…

I never before quite grasped the seminar attended by the boys, but now I know.
Great project!

All I know is Melkweg is a night club in Amsterdam and Meadowlark Lemon was a netball bloke from the Hardup Globe Twatters. Maybe he worked his balls at the door as a bouncer ?

Doing a bit of a Bill Stow here :
It’s ‘the’ mental age of a haversack.
…and Gypsies should have a capital ‘G’ in these enlightened times (prefer enlightened to the much-maligned “PC” in this case).

j agree – now i know it says
“i doctored my edible thong with listeria”
is a beautiful discovery
but
still hasnt cleared up about it causing
“your offspring walk backwards”
i still have a niggle it means something, an obscure reference perchance beyond the sheer poetry of it
i mean, does listeria REALLY make you walk backwards

I’ve been overdosing on the nit-picking pills again (we’re all out of Haliborange). According to their official website, the correct presentation of the name has the first four letters in lower case and the last three in upper case, thus: pragVEC
OK, I’m off to lie down in a darkened room for an hour!

That’s a good spot. I’m not sure what to do about this, as the HMHB song is called “Prag Vec At The Melkweg”, no arguments, and I don’t think we can go round renaming (or re-spelling) titles of songs just because NB57 didn’t get it right (or perhaps simply refused to go with the random capitalisation nonsense). I suppose the mention in the song itself could go with the “official” way of writing the band’s name. Let’s go with that.

I would have to agree with NB57 if he were to scorn the random capitalization thing, as pretentious as a whole bag of pretentious things. I agree also that because that’s the way he spelt it on the album the title has to stay as is.
There’s a similar conundrum in Yipps (My Baby Got The) because every reference I can find to that strange phenomenon spells it with only one ‘p’, i.e the yips, but as Nigel has it with the double ‘p’ we shouldn’t change it. After all, who wants cant conformism?

MT&D’s track listing seems to be littered with errors; it even has two track titles apparently transposed, which has now become definitive.
