The Union: Official Fish Forum

I was listening to Sunsets while at work a long while back.

A friend of mine wondered why I was listening to a song about Mork and Mindy

"Nanu nanu, nanu nanu, nanu nanu, nanu nanu Brother 52!"

oh yes, how could I forget my version of White Russian (I really cannot understand what Fish is singing many times). Thank God for printed lyrics.

It took me a while to figure out he was singing about uzis in a street corner, and not something oozing in a street corner
But my favourite is the part where he sings about raising the clutter... whatever that means

Raising the clutter, are we raising the clutter?
I feel like he could be describing my room. :lol:

Thought I'd resurrect this old thread, as I laugh when I hear Pipeline and Fish singing:-

"If the lady that I'm waiting on is a man"

Well I think that's what he's singing!! :lol:

Just Good Friends. For ages I thought it was:

"Are we left to transmissions - is that all we can depend on."

Clearly Fish and his girl were fans of chatting on CB radio...

I can't believe I've only just read this thread !

Fess'up time from me now...

Whilst spending some time with Fish sipping vin blanc in Francais - I told him I had something to confess....that for years (thanks to a poor quality cheap student type stereo) I thought the lyric was:-

"....and the man in the mirror has salad"

I got a 'look' :lol:

at least I feel I've fessed up to the man himself - I am free from shame now.

However I have yet to tell him I thought the lyric was "...her mother thought her beautiful, her father said 'ahaaaa'' :lol:

I put it down to me being a sweet innocent youth.

Incommunicado---' and I dont give a damn for the fleet street'----I'm sure sometimes I hear the word f***, instead of damn

hahaha that is brilliant. I always heard "a whore" in that one though, what does that say of me? :lol:

I recently found out I was singing two Pearl Jam songs wrong.

My version/Real version

I see the verse in the rain / I see the birds in the rain
I don't want to hurt, there is so much in this word to make me believe / I don't want to hurt, there is so much in this world to make me bleed

Problem is, I like both my versions better. :lol:
