Misinterpretation of song lyrics


well...not really misinterpretation, but deliberate misconbobulation
of song lyrics by a wandering band of field geologists---

in "Wharf Rat",  "true to me"  became "tritymide"--a high-pressure phase
                                                   of Quartz

We made much worse fun of the Rolling Stones though..

For instance, a verse of "Shattered" went something like this:

               Chert on the west side,
               Sandstone upsection--
               Glacial erratics scattered all over

                                 The outcrop

                  (does it matter..)

-- 

"...a lot of people don't have much food on the table,

    but they got a lot of forks
                                  and knives,

                    and they gotta cut something."  --Bob Dylan
