Still poking at my LJ Idol entry in my head. This one is a real PitA because I know a lot about the backstory of the two different ideas that are topic choices, and I want to be true to them and not focus on colloquial sloppiness.
But, I finally just figured it out, thinking about my favorite misheard song lyric ever.
It's from a Decemberists song called We Both Go Down Together.
The correct verse is:
I found you, a tattooed tramp
A dirty daughter from the labor camps
I laid you down in the grass of a clearing
You wept, but your soul was willing
What I heard for ages was:
I found you, a tattooed triumph
A dirty daughter from the labor camps
I laid you down in the grass of a clearing
You wept, but your soul was willing
I still think mine is about 800 times better and more interesting and really, really disturbing. And hey, kinda works as a fic prompt, but first I have to write about goats and then I have to write about a realization I had about current fandom weirdnesses AND THEN I have to finish a chapter proposal for something....
Goats.
Yeah.
