> [@Marley23](#): > > **Autolycus** , I understand why you quoted all the lyrics to Brown-Eyed Girl, but it’s against the rules here. We ask that people post no more than four or five lines from any song under copyright. I shortened your excerpt. “Hey is that the truth or are you talking trash? Is your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash?” Errr, I mean: Ah! My most sincere apologies. Will not happen again :o ---

> [@double\_p](#): > > by the way, which one’s pink? One of my all-time favorite lines in any pop song. I would like to believe that this line was made up to illustrate how moronic the music business is, but it is probably an exact quote, given how moronic the business actually is. The answer, of course, is “He’s dead.” ---

There were an awful lot of people who thought Pink Floyd was the name of the lead singer and that was Pink himself and the band. That’s how it all came about, it was quite genuine.’ Of course, if you want to be really anal, the answer would be ‘Pink Anderson’. ---

There were an awful lot of people who thought Pink Floyd was the name of the lead singer and that was Pink himself and the band. In college there was a guy in my dorm who saw The Wall concert at the Berlin Wall, but this experience was wasted on him when he told me that Pink Floyd was there. I subtly tried to correct him and said “I thought only the lead singer was there?” He said “Yes, the singer was there. Pink Floyd was there.” I didn’t say anything but internally I was :smack: ---
