REM so good I.. bare.. BARELY. bare-ly… even care. that they pronounce Cuyahoga (Kai-Yuh-Hoe-Guh, is my approximation of the correct way btw) wrong. By the way if any of you are the lead vocalist (is he still alive? Idk man a lot of musicians are dead now) how much could I pay you to re-record just that word by the way. Hypothetically
#r.e.m.#dare I say it… ohioposting? /hj#It does not bother me that I like the song despite this. [lie]#an original post from yours truly (me) by the way…#Why do I never use tags this is fun as hell#Inside: ITS NOT CUY. ITS A RIVER NOT A FUCKING GUINEA PIG. THE EPA WILL GET YOU NEXT I STG! RAUGH!!!#Outside: this song is beautiful and it’s to be expected that Native American place names will be mispronounced by non-locals#the Latin alphabet was not made for the English language much less any Iroquoian* language#*it’s currently disputed if the name is Mohawk in origin or Seneca in origin#we may be saying it wrong ourselves!
