ROFL, that shit was poetic. One awesome point for you.
As an avid pearl jam fan (since about 1998), I can honestly say, that I think I could have sang that song better on helium with a golf ball in my mouth. "Anna Nicole's mama said that I won't wanna see Anna fall down again." funniest shit I have heard in a minute.

These misheard lyrics are called "mondegreens." The term was coined by a writer who understood a lyric in a Scottish folk song to say that someone had killed a particular nobleman "and Lady Mondegreen." The actual lyric read that someone had killed the nobleman "and laid him on the green." Hence, the term "mondegreen."

So nice to know I'm not alone...love the PJ and the four legged men and women made me laugh out loud at my desk. Thanks for making the day go a little more smoothly
Glorified version of a pelican, instead of pellet gun.
Another line from Glorified G that I've seen is the one right before that, "45 Virgins" instead of "Glorified version of". ;D Ed can be a tough one to understand sometimes, although, the 45 virgins is Stone singing

+1 for the history behind this.
Growing up we first thought we heard Elton John singing about electric boobs. (Bennie and the Jets) We were convinced the censors failed to pick up on this lyric then a trip to the record store cleared it up.
Anything by Beck he sounds like a 12 year old with a gas huffing addiction. In "looser" he advocates saving all your foodstamps for burning down the trailer park now that is messed up.
