mrewest Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I don't know if anyone else thinks of this or has this issue with music they listen to, but I have a feeling I mispronounce lots of band's names and song names. Go ahead and make fun of me if need be. I'm ready for it. But here is a list of things I need some clarification on... Band names: Gifts From Enola (En-oh-la, or Eh-no-la) pg.lost ("Page Lost", pg-dot-lost, or other) Songs/Albums: Most of GFE's songs Caspian's "Tertia" album ("Tear-sha", "tear-shee-uh", "tear-tee-uh", or other) Radiohead's "Idioteque" ("Idiotic", or "Id-ee-oh-tek") Thanks for the help or comedic relief by insulting my stupidity!

daegor Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Zao: Zay-ooh vs Zow I said it wrong for years. For some reason I initially thought Celldweller was Cell-D-Weller, not Cell-Dweller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zick Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Ee-no-la. Like Enola Gay Page Lost Ter-she-uh Id-ee-oh-tek It'd be a lot easier if I did it with Vocaroo or something haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryq Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I've always said propagandhi as "propa-gone-dee" (like the famous guy), but the band says it "propa-gandy", though I'm not sure if that's a canadian accent thing or what... (and, yes, I enjoyed referring to gandhi as "the famous guy") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I took Greek and I never get to geek out on language stuff. Thrice's Vheissu was always tricky for me. Wait, are you guys saying it's NOT Zay-oh? Because that's how I've always said it, and how I've always heard. Don't think I've ever been corrected either. Zao was my shit in my teens.

Team Avatar Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 la dispute - supposedly is supposed to be pronounced as in french, 'la dis-put' converge - CON verge or CUNverge. I always say it one and then correct to the other. okkervil river - for the longest time I said OAKervil river, but then I heard a song where they said " my AHKKervil river" american football s/t - it's americ anfootball so many ppl say it wrong i correct them all the time god damnit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
