    Default Yellow Ledbetter lyrics

    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!

    That's pretty funny!

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

    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.
