it wasn't anything important, just rambling stuff. Ghost would probably
know.
Wow, I was a big help.

I'm copying this form the album (vinyl) sleeve:-
"We should also include a (loose) translation for the new lyrics to
the Danforth and Pape section of La Villa Strangiato-
Patty-cake, patty-cake,
Mother's going to buy you shoes,
Father's going to buy you socks,
Baby's going to have red cheeks"
I'm a bit dubious abou this myself though. It doesn't sound much like
that on the record. A bit of a joke by the boys perhaps?

It is on the record sleeve, not sure about the cd. Can't remember it
all, something about "Mama's gonna buy you something-a-rather, Baby's
gonna have ..."

Here's what is written in the sleeve :
Paty-cake, patty-cake,
Mother's going to buy you shoes,
Father's going to buy you socks,
Baby's going to have red cheeks.
But when I listen to the song, it doesn't seem like Geddy is saying
those lines at all!
Salut!

You know, this is EXACTLY what it sounds like he's saying, yet I've
never been able to figure it out. It certainly seems plausible that
he'd say something like that (along the lines of the plumbers who come
to fix your sinks, and "the freedom of baseball"), so my question for
you, Dormiol, is "are you sure?". Or maybe it's, "how do you know?".
Are you just a good listener or do you have some inside information?

Of course not. It was meant as a *joke*. The fact is, nobody knows
what he was saying. Not even Geddy, from the sounds of it. It was
probably just what it sounds like--a bunch of nonsense.
Geez, does everything have to make sense around here?

Could be worse...imagine what alt.music.cocteau-twins.lyrics would be

>From: Jason Flynn <Jason.R...@Unisys.com>
Back around the MP era, the Rush guys took on Happy Days personas.
I think Ged was Richie Cunningham, Neil was Fonz and Alex was Ralph
Mouth. In "Visions" they talk about the mumblings in the middle of
"The Camera Eye" ...
Neil: Ayeeee
Geddy: watch it Bucko
Alex: Even in the studio i still got it
...or maybe I'm full of shit :-)

Y'see, now I have no idea. Serious/not serious/serious/not serious/full
of shit/not full of shit/full of shit/not full of shit. So many
decisions a million revisions. I guess I'll go the rest of my life not
knowing for sure. I'll give it another listen and decide for myself.

And further .... it says that it's a loose *translation*. So even if it were
not
a joke, you wouldn't be hearing those words.

It's badly spoken French. All the guys took lessons around the
late 70's.

Maybe his parents were from Europe (Poland?) but I don't know if Geddy
learned Polish (?). Wasn't he born in Canada?

I don't know if Ged speaks Polish himself, but it was spoken in his household,
so I'd assume he knows at least a little.

Are you sure or you're just gessing? I listened to it again and I
don't hear French words.
>All the guys took lessons around the late 70's.
Geddy's French can't be that bad! :-)
Eric Legault
J.S.
Anyway, the section where Geddy goes:"Lala lala lala lalalala HEY!"
makes me think of Geddy holding a big buck of beer, and singing in a
bavarian tavern!
hehe...
For the rest of the lyrics, I guess we must admit that he is just
mumbling some non-sense, as much we want it to be something coherent.
And no, it's not french. Parce que si c'est du francais, moi je parle en
chinois! :)

This post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

What Ged is saying is French for (roughly) "Hey dumbfuck can't you see?
Open your eyes! Can't you see?" He uses the french word "vasse"
which is a major insult in French.

His real name is "Gary Lee Weinrab" what does that sound like to you?
Sam Cinquegrani
La Villa is Italian, And we know he is not Italian La Villa is "Home" In
Italiano
Danny Rosenberg
"Pat-chi" is Yiddish for Patty-cake. Doesn't anyone ever listen? *sigh*

Sorry to contradict you, but I don't have the word "vasse" in my
vocabulary,
and I've been speaking french for the last 21 years (I'm 21 by the way)
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think any of these lyrics are in French.

Like either a typo or maybe just ignorance.
His given name is "Gary Lee Weinrib", not "Gary Lee Weinrab"
This also makes me think about a movie I saw for the first time last night,
"Mighty Aphrodite." In the movie, Woody Allen's character's name is "Lenny
Weinrib", and when he chooses an alias at one point, he calls himself "Lenny
Gildersleeve."
Being the freak that I am, I immediately thought of Rush (Geddy's real last
name and Skip Gildersleeve's name). Anyone else out there as weird as me and
noticed that? I wonder if it was intentional? Probably not. I don't know of
anyone quite like Woody (interpret that any way you like...) that likes Rush
enough to do that.

Well, Woody doesn't listen to any music made after the 50s or
somethinglike that, so it' very doubtful he would even know a rish song
much less that kind of detail. However, we can alway simagine that
great minds are in synch!
