Musical things you were slow to realise

I thought Come On Die Young was meant to be the name of a gang.

From the wiki.

The album’s title derives from a Glasgow gang of the same name.

love the idea that Raekwon the Chef, hardened OG gangster rapper, just wanted to write a song about how much he loves ice cream. suppose the name doesn’t help :grinning:

The track called that on the album. It took me a long time to realise it was an acronym for the album title.

I don’t think you should use things like first time you kissed a girl as historical markers, personally. Not sure it’s healthy x

That you don’t pronounce “Wenceslas” as Wence-lass. If I ever actually read the words to Good King Wenceslas then I guess it was at Primary school so maybe I just forgot in the meantime or I wasn’t paying attention. Or we just never actually did this one in a Christmas assembly.

Either way I always assumed the first line was

Good King Wenceslas last looked out

and therefore, like Worcestershire, this was one of those names where we pronounce fewer syllables than we see.

Iirc corectly it’s the meeting place (in a forest or something), it had been Roddy’s fave book when he was younger.

I always thought the name really suited how they sounded in the early days.
