[head not full of deathvisions]

mendocino, klamath, siskiyou, and shasta are names of beautiful places in California and that's why they are mentioned in pox which is about the destruction of beautiful places in nature.

i thought you meant people when you said proper names.

i think don diasco says something about miya...and anne dong uses the name anne, obviously.

i believe that's all.

[kevin]

ah. i will edit. and ian curtis now says "js/jane s" due to people argueing over the fact that he says "JS" in the song, but the lyric booklet says "Jane S"

[kevin]

should i include "la la" from dr. troll?

[ghzgzdf]

well it certainly isn't Jane S.

[jarretttree]

Do you own the album because it certainly does say Jane S

[taint]

anne dong yo, not dog.

incidentally, annie-dog is a fine smashing pumpkins song.

[kevin]

to clear up the confusion one final time:

THE LYRIC BOOKLET SAYS "JANE S."

IN THE SONG HE SINGS "J.S."

[bignothing]

i still need to buy that album.

I think Nick Drake's a proper name at any rate


oh and is 'cha chi' or 'chi cha' a proper name from Hives Hives?
It sounds as if it's a name or nickname from the way he says it but yeah.


oh, and so is Rose of Sharon if you want to include that.. it's a proper name, named after a character in The Grapes of Wrath

[kevin]

wow how could i forget so many. ive heard these songs hundreds of times..

[urgeintheicebox]

dr. troll is about lauren andrews, so call it 'lauren'

[Veck]

does that mean we're counting songs with proper names as the title as well?
then we've overlooked Sad Cory and Mike

and Rose of Sharon the name is Rose of Sharon
haha just to be pedantic
they call her Rosasharn in the book

[fruitloops]

and jennifer lopez?
