September 15

Talking Heads

I would have sworn that Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" included the line "There is water on the moon", but I cannot find evidence of such. Am I mistaken? LP vs. single version, maybe? 136.56.52.157 (talk) 02:10, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The lyrics sites don't have any record of that line anywhere in any Talking Heads songs, so I think you must be mistaken. --Viennese Waltz 05:10, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly a Mondegreen? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 06:07, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly -- I checked some live recordings and noticed Byrne would sometimes play around with the lyrics, for example: "Water the zombie and water the moon" (instead of "Water dissolving and water removing"), or by adding "water on the move" (with distorted echoes). I might have actually first heard the song live in LA sometime before the record was released. 136.56.52.157 (talk) 07:49, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Link: Melissa Gorman. --174.95.81.219 (talk) 10:40, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Her name is given as "GORMAN Melissa Anne" in a list of medal winners in the aquatic events of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. The site of the link is blacklisted, but replace the middle dot by a plain period in [http://malappuraminfo·com/info/commonwealth-games-2010-delhi-aquatics-events-schedule-results-and-medal-holders] --Lambiam 12:17, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
