Rosco Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 Following on from the mispronounciations... Anyone have any entertaining mis-spelled songs or musicians? Just been looking at a Chet Baker discography online... Apparently, Chet (with Gerry Mulligan and Annie Ross) recorded a song called 'I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plants" Yes, that fuschia's looking a bit droopy... Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 There are SOOOOO many. How about "You stole my wife, you whore thief you" (should be "horse thief") But why isn't this in the discography forum? Mike Quote

king ubu Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 well, google has approx. 443000 hits for "fuschia", so it can't be quite *that* wrong Quote
J.A.W. Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 well, google has approx. 443000 hits for "fuschia", so it can't be quite *that* wrong ← Well, as far as I know google just displays what's on the net and that doesn't guarantee the correct spelling. I don't know why, but in the English-speaking world the name of the flower is more often than not wrongly spelled "fuschia". According to all my dictionaries, both English and others, the flower is called "fuchsia". The spelling on the cover of Sam Rivers' "Fuchsia Swing Song" is correct: Quote
couw Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 the spelling on the cover of Sam Rivers' "Fuchsia Swing Song" is correct: ← Yeah, but the colour is all wrong! Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 This error contains no humor. I made a leader search for Gerald Wilson on my Bruyninckx program and the result was ZIP! I could not believe he/they ignored GW so the closest I could come was Garland Wilson, so I searched for that - I thought I would scroll down and find Gerald. Nothing of the kind - seems like they think Garland Wilson made all of Gerald's records. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 Yup - Garland Wilson; followed by George Wilson & Jimmy Hinton; then Garland Wilson again!!! Mike Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 7, 2005 Report Posted June 7, 2005 Yup - Garland Wilson; followed by George Wilson & Jimmy Hinton; then Garland Wilson again!!! Mike ← Mike, would you have thought of George? Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Not sure I understand the question. Also, how are you doing a "leader search" - I am just searching on the text string "gerald wilson" (look in "Currently Selected Indexes" which is all letters A-Z) and it comes back with the letter W - scroll down to the fifth entry (after Gerald Wilson's appearances with Larry Williams) and there's the Gerald Wilson section (listed under the name Garland Wilson). Are you searching for GERALD WILSON (case sensitive)? Theoretically, that should work as a leader search - but obviously only if the info is correctly entered! Mike Quote

Uncle Skid Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Is it JUDGMENT or JUDGEMENT??? Enquiring Andrew Hill fans want to know! (or is it inquiring??) Quote

Michael Fitzgerald Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 My vote on misspelling goes to Bill Connors for the ECM album "Theme To The Gaurdian". http://www.billconnorsguitarist.com/billco...iscography.html Connors insisted to the Germans that he was correct - saying who were they to question his command of the English language?! Ooops. FWIW, Bruyninckx (& Lord) have corrected this to "Guardian". Mike Quote
MartyJazz Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 I had a late friend who couldn't abide Mingus's music primarily due to personal reasons, i.e., he had witnessed a couple of incidents in which Mingus's legendary temper was displayed. Anyway he got a kick out of a misspelling I noticed on the edge of the original United Artists LP, MONEY JUNGLE, mono copy. Anyone who has this LP will notice that on the spine, along with the names of Ellington & Roach, there is this: "Charlie Minus." Quote
Spontooneous Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 It says "Charles Minus" twice on the back of the CD of Bud Powell Jazz at Massey Hall Vol. 2. (Which reminds me. When Al Haig died, in the obituary, The Associated Press named his principal influence as "Bud Powers.") Quote
J.A.W. Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Is it JUDGMENT or JUDGEMENT??? Enquiring Andrew Hill fans want to know! (or is it inquiring??) ← Both spellings seem to be OK. Quote
mikeweil Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 ..... there is this: "Charlie Minus." ← ... and all of this all happened before Microsoft Word spell check was invented ... That Plants/Pants joke is nice: Reminds of George Shearing announcing numbers with "love" in the song title substituted by "lunch" .... Quote
