Yellow Ledbetter lyrics

[Robert]

This is just so funny. Funniest video I've seen in a long time. I looked up this song after hearing stingz's recording. I'm not sure I've ever heard this song before, so I went "youtubing" and found this. I just love the (misheard?) lyrics on the video! :DR

That's pretty funny!

Hey, I have heard that Eddie Vedder was improvising the lyrics always, until he kind of had something together.

That was hilarious !

Ok, I'm expecting to get all kinds of crap from those of you that like Pearl Jam but, this is my opinion of Pearl Jam.

Eddie Vedder is a horrible song writer, his songs make absolutely no sense at all. Their music is cool but not his lyrics. Thats the reason Ive never liked Pearl Jam.

BTW, that video was awesome!

Heres one example of his crappy song writing

Daughter:

Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud

The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will...rise above...ooh...oh...

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go, go, go...

Not that I am a huge PJ fan, or that I even care that much (But I'll take the opposite side anyway, just cause I'm a lawyer ;) ), but I kind of get that "Daughter" song. Besides, listening to it, it is all in how he howls the delivery of it.

that was too funny...so funny i even sent it to my ex-wife because we used to always laugh at how we couldn't understand the lyrics.
