Upon further listens, I can hear what you guys are talking about with the extra syllables (Which is funny, because it’s usually the first thing I point out to people about Elvis Costello). The thing that gets me is that “Live” seems to (and I don’t know how to really describe this) “point out” when they use a big word? Like musically, they really emphasize when the word “Disinterred” is used. Like, “LOOK HERE, WE’RE USING FANCY WORDS LIKE JONATHAN DOES!” “Tesla Coils” too. Seems like it was added specifically to be more JoCo-like, instead of flowing naturally.
Regardless, I could listen to it over and over. Big Dick, while it may have a smoother transition into “real P&S”ishness, is a one time joke. Hey, he really DID capture P&S!
(Kidding. I kid!)
ETA: I thought about whether or not “Live” goes into JoCopedia as well Lex, and I also lean towards no. Maybe if and when Jonathan re-records it or performs it … 😀
