Jezuz, it's fucking 1 9 8 6 ("Can't ya afford a fuckin' haircut?" - Lee Ving)
and all you BOF's out there are throwing out all these
"Gosh-gee-remember-197[012...], I thought this lyric by (Insert name of BOF
or nauseating Singer/songwriter here) was really THIS tee hee" messages.
Have you all DIED and crawled into a hole musically or what?  I haven't seen
ONE article where the song mentioned was released in the 1980's!!  And don't
tell me that suddenly there are no more lyrics to garble, either.

I can beat all of you - the hell with garbled LYRICS, how about garbled
ENTIRE ALBUM LYRICS?  I give a $100 Monopoly money prize and a tip-of-the-hat
to anyone who can post a complete stanza to ANY song from ANY Cocteau Twins
album (Sorry, snippets on the inner sleeve of "Head Over Heels" DON'T count).
