So it's about music in general, whether you hear it or not? Did it ever apply to live music or did the act of playing it live negate the scrund? So your brother playing his guitar in his bedroom, or hearing a band live in the park wouldn't count? Was it do with the method of recording it? | ||

So it's about music in general, whether you hear it or not? Hard to say. You could have this scrund without actually listening to music but you'd have to have seen something written about it. Actually listening to music without seeing something would make it impossible to have this scrund Did it ever apply to live music or did the act of playing it live negate the scrund? It could apply to live music So your brother playing his guitar in his bedroom, or hearing a band live in the park wouldn't count? No neither of these scenarios could cause this scrund Was it do with the method of recording it? No | ||

I do still believe that any band worth it's salt believes in what they sing Little clue for you. If you looked at a the charts you could have this scrund (If you are as as daft as I was). So it's nothing to do with the technicalities of how music is made and recorded. I am confident that when you get the solution you'll laugh out loud because as scrunds go this is a real beaut | ||

What I really meant was that if they were singing about heartbreak at their boy/girl friend leaving them, then that is what had really happened - but then you read that they are happily married or something. I've looked at the charts for the first time in over 30 years and recognise some of the names but others I have NO idea about at all. Not having my kids at home I no longer hear pop music videos. (And to think that I had the coveted Saturday job of working on a record stall in our indoor market). So - is it anything to do with assuming that songs are only in the charts if the artist/s are alive or at least still together as a group? | ||

Ahhh I'm with you now. And I agree. I strongly suspect that the warden never threw a party at the county jail I've looked at the charts for the first time in over 30 years and recognise some of the names but others I have NO idea about at all. Not having my kids at home I no longer hear pop music videos. (And to think that I had the coveted Saturday job of working on a record stall in our indoor market). apparently you have to have appeared on the X factor to get into the charts these days. And by the way this is the album charts I'm referring to So - is it anything to do with assuming that songs are only in the charts if the artist/s are alive or at least still together as a group? No but you're concentrating on the right general area now | ||

Well, I'm no wiser having looked at the album charts. I see that there are even more remote entries i.e. their songs haven't been around for decades and suddenly seem to be making a comeback. I do know that album/single buying habits have changed since supermarkets started selling them. It's less embarassing to pop a Johnny Mathis in your basket than venture into a darkened shop full of acidheads. It's even less embarassing to download Charlie Drake 'My Boomerang Won't Come Back' off iTunes. As a result, oldies are enjoying a comeback. Any of this relevant? (the Mr Custer song is funny) | ||

my daughter, when young, thought the Johnny Rivers song was called "Secret ASIAN man", not AGENT -- conjures up interesting ideas about such a man -- no doubt song lyric scrunds are as numerous as clamshells on a beach... anything to do with covers of old hit songs appearing high on the contemporary charts (as was the case with "Secret Agent Man," as I recall, when Devo covered it...) how the charts are developed and compiled relevant? the rating protocol/other? is your scrund about band/artist names, song/album titles, or place/ranking on the charts? | ||

I like it and yes the are numerous scrunds in this area. In fact I know of several websites dedicated to mondegreens. Some appear a little contrived to me but my personal favourite is the famous "There's a bathroom on the right" replacing "There's a badmoon on the rise. "Might as well face it you're a dick with a glove" is another good one.

Did you think the name of the band was always the name of the artist? For example, that 'Pink Floyd' was a person (I used to think that)? Did you think the band name related somehow to the songs being sung? Was it anything like a conception that every song was written by a different band? Or that only a few bands had written every song? Alphebetization relevant? Classical music? My favorite mondegreen was "'scuse me while I...kiss this guy" instead of "kiss the sky." Hendrix apparently liked that one so much that he sang it sometimes instead of the real lyric. | ||

No Was it anything like a conception that every song was written by a different band? No Or that only a few bands had written every song? No this either Alphebetization relevant? No Classical music? yes this scrund could be held by looking at a classical music chart My favorite mondegreen was "'scuse me while I...kiss this guy" instead of "kiss the sky." Hendrix apparently liked that one so much that he sang it sometimes instead of the real lyric. One of the better mondegreen sites is actually called Kiss this Guy http://www.kissthisguy.com/.

No .... did you? No, I didn't. But as a kid I didn't care about popularity of music, and my parents didn't follow current music either, so I wouldn't have had reason to think about this. Actually John Fogarty from Creedence used to sing the "bathroom on the right" line at their gigs also. I've never understood why this one is common. I did hear this song on the radio relatively often as a kid, and while "rise" does sound almost like "right", I totally don't hear "bathroom". And besides, it would make no sense in the context. There are hurricanes and earthquakes set to destroy us all, oh and by the way, the bathroom is down the hall to your right?? But back to the puzzle: Does it matter whether the charts are of the most popular songs, albums, or artists? or could any of these promote the scrund? Is it relevant how long before the rankings are updated? | ||

Assorted artists? Various artists? Huge sigh of relief YES!!!!! Mixed artists? ****************SPOILER************** Ok so apparently some of you are not familiar with the fact that compilation albums in the charts were described as being by "Various Artists". I had a scrund about this which I had forgotten about but was reminded of in embarrassing circumstances recently. My mother found some of my old school copy books from when I was around 12. I was going through a bit of a heavy metal phase then and had scribbled the names of my favourite bands on the inside cover of the copybook. Imagine my shock when looking at this years later and discovered amongst the AC/DCs , Iron Maidens , Rainbows & Motorheads the "band" VARIOUS ARTISTS. Apparently there was a classic Heavy Metal compilation album out at the time which I'd spotted in the charts and under bandname it said Various Artists. I was forced to admit to much hilarity from my family that I once thought Various Artists were a heavy metal band Pretty embarrassing do you think? | ||

Yes, of course. "Various Artists" or similar. I actually thought about that before, but not as a solution... It was when I gave those 33rpm/45rpm guesses and I remembered "Stars on 45rpm, by Various Artists"... (I believe featuring dolls similar to those from The Muppet Show). | ||

*Head slap* you're right, that should have been obvious a long time ago. I was too stuck thinking about the music chart itself rather than just the listed "band" on a cd's description. Thank you for sharing your embarrassment with us =) | ||

Fun puzzle (: And I recall my neighbour had that scrund when we were little, describing a song I liked as being by the band "Various Artists"...I was sceptical. But you're not alone. |
