Lyrical spoonerisms

Filed under: Language

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.)

  1. “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“?”

    It probably is. ;-) I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it. :)

    [What do I win/lose for trying to nitpick? ;]

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

  4. 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”.
