FOTGTD fave moment

[The Original J.T. Ripper]

Somehow, I love Moz's pronunciation in the line "You have never been in love" -- the way he pronounces "been" with a long E sound, like the way Americans would pronounce the word "bean". I like to think I'm mostly up to speed with how Britons spell and pronounce things, as being of English heritage I try to adopt these practises whenever possible despite being an American by birth. But is this just Moz's little inflection, or is it standard pronunciation in Britain? Either way, I just love it -- that, plus the "oh, my"s. I wasn't a huge fan of this track when i first got the album, but I'm hooked on it now

Cheers,
J.T.

In "i'm not sorry" when he sings "...the woman of my dreams, sheee never came along..." That pronouciation of she - makes the whole album worthwhile! and my sentiments on the FOTGTD - i too felt it was underweight...but have been converted and now reside in its monastery.
