Is “where the girls are green and the grass is pretty” better or worse than “When I fall on my face with my knees to the rising sun“?
Discuss.
(Yes, I already know that these aren’t actually spoonerisms, they’re just swapped words. If you are a huge nerd, you’re going to have to find something else to nitpick.)

It probably is. ;-) I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it. :)
[What do I win/lose for trying to nitpick? ;]

It is worse. The grass is ‘beautiful’, dammit!

Well, the whole “girls are green” thing made me think of Star Trek. I mean, Kirk was all about the girls, green or not…
The “rising sun” line reminded me of Japan… Maybe “Memoirs of a Geisha”, or maybe “Shogun”.
