bloody spell it right!

[someotherian]

sometimes it amazes me how many people mis-spell cocteau song titles.. you know, when you see someone on ebay selling something called 'tiny dynamiTe' :eek:

that's probably the most common one that i see, but what others are there that bug you?
i'll start you off with a few more (hopefully people can think of others, or this thread will be about as much use as a chocolate chastity belt!)

- bluebird
- fishbite
- head over heals
(.. and one new to me that i just saw on ebay..)
- victoryland! roflmao

[Lucibelle]

[zed]

[Colin]

Hey!! I was excited recently to become a clown. Beats being a baby, I guess.

On the thread subject, I will confess (at risk of losing what little respect I may have left) that even as an 'avid' CT fan, it wasn't long ago that I finally realized it was dynamiNe. I'm a lazy reader, I guess -- I got as far as the d-y-n-a-m and figured 'I know where this is going. . .' :rolleyes:

[Angel]

I'm begging you please, no clown pics. It's painful to even type the word. If you have any love in your heart, you won't torture me....

[watchlar]

i won't i won't ;)

how about the most common mispelling of all..........

FRASIER, FRAZER, FRAZIER


:rolleyes:

[Lucibelle]

....or the most common mispronunciation.... COCTAIL Twins! :headbutt:

[someotherian]

thank you david, for breathing life into the chastity belt! :)

[iceblink555]

How about "coctoo twins" or "Raymonde", with the "-monde" pronounced as in "Le Monde"?

As for the plethora of album-title misspellings, has it occurred to anyone else that some of these, esp. the more ridiculous ones (like Echoes in a Shallow Grave!), might actually be intentional?!

The reasoning might be that it draws more attention to the listing/makes it stand out. It could also be done to mislead a buyer into thinking that the item is a bootleg or some other variant. Similar to the way one sees intentionally vague/misleading descriptions of the Otherness CD as "special Mark Clifford remixes", etc. --Alan

[Phil Lawton]

And one I've just seen on E-bay, where someone selling the boxed set insists that one of the singles therein is called "Peppermint Pink".

Dear Lord.
