Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 571

Look, I know it was recorded in the 50’s, Brenda Lee was only like 15 when it was recorded, and it’s a dang Christmas song, but I swear to God every time I hear Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree I hear the lyric as “Maybe we’ll have some fuckin’ pie and do some caroling.” Every. Time.

 

Nice. My wife hates that song and always sings it that way.

 

that's the way i sing it haha

 

I was an extra in the music video for Always Be, but the song had already come out with lyrics. Being the weird fan I was, I memorized them before I got to set. I never really thought about it, but it kind of does sound like that, haha.

 

Hoping for some new tunes from these cats. Missing these guys!

 

We talked about this on the pod. Absolutely sing it that way myself, too.

 

I always thought it was sort of like “I’m a ‘as I’ve always been’” which is grammatically incorrect and confusing but almost makes sense lol

 

Thinking about it, I think it’s obviously phrased to also be heard as “ass”. It’s kind of clever, and kind of silly. Absolutely love the song, but not big on that line.

 

I’ve never heard ass in the song. Clean out your ears, dudes.

 

Always Be does a thing that I really like with songs where they adjacently reference the album title without explicitly saying it. “She’s a light; she’ll always be a little far for me to reach”

 

I'm alone in this, and I'm as I've always been: right behind what's happening

I've heard it like this for years lol

 

That’s the wrong lyric? That’s how I hear it too haha

 

Just listened to it, can confirm, does not say "and I'm". Absolutely says "I'm-a".

I mean, it's not a big deal though, singers have been singing things weird for ages.

 

It's-a-me, Jimmy Eat World!

 

Still better than Chris Pratt

 

So this popped up on my Timehop today from 13 years ago. So that’s what I thought it was. Lol

 

I don't post about the pod a lot here, but you'll see a couple of familiar faces in this. With the pod starting to wind down as we approach the end of the discography, we thought it would be fun to have ChatGPT write us a script for an overall trailer for the show.

I think it's a fun little edit. For those that watch - enjoy!

 

like I said

 

Finally listened to Surviving the full way through and was very impressed. 4/5 tracks are very solid and no real skippers for me. Haven't listened to much post-Futures after moving away from the 'scene' for a decade or so, so now time to dip back in to the last few albums.

 

The fun thing about Jimmy Eat World is every single album is good

 

It’s true

I recently jammed Invented and while it’s very low on my album ranking, I’ve grown to really like it. It’s still very good despite a lower ranking

 

Damage is probably my least favorite, and I still love it more than a lot of other bands best albums. Wildly consistent discography.

 

Agree. I think thats def their worst from Clarity to current.

 

the lack of respect you all give Static Prevails... tisk tisk tisk

 

Static Prevails finally hit me over past few years.
