monkey!

the way he speaks it and that laugh... great.
the whole song over he sings in a magnificent voice and stunning energy...

Oh, yes! I so agree . Stunning.....and that laugh, like a musical bridge in itself .

I'm sorry but I don't agree with you guys on Mr. Cohens laugh in "FWTM", sounding good or cool or whatever. It's one of those things that you just have to live with when your a fan of his. It's taggy (don't knoe how to spell that) and much to eightish (80). Cohen sometimes does something with a song that is just plain horrible, almost embarrassing. The laughter on "FWTM", the machine drums on "Ten new songs", the entire "jazz police"... I can't be the only one with this attitude towards some of leonards stuff?
Of course I'm a big fan of Leonard Cohen, and I love alomost everything he's made, but that doesn't mean I have to extol some corny laughter on a, besides the laughter part, great number.
So I guess my question to you all is this: what thing about Leonard Cohen in generally pisses you off?

oh btw lizzy, congratulations to your nice post count on this answer here

arno

kleinschmidt, see your new post for answer
its a matter of personal opinion I guess

It was #4747 ~ right, Arno ? It changes across the board with each, successive one . Thanks .

oh, thought it would stay (that indivdual posts are numbered...) too bad.

have fun anyway

btw what did you mean with uncle in the other post ?!

Yeah, that's why I nailed down the number for you with my next post.

"Uncle!" is another way of saying, "Okay, Uncle!" or "He cried Uncle!" ~ they are all variations for saying, "Okay, I give ~ You win." "I give" means "I give in. I stop disputing what you're saying or doing." As a child, when wrestling with someone, we would try to pin the other one down, on their back with shoulders to the ground, in order to 'win' ~ the one who was about to become victor would say, "Say Uncle! Say Uncle!" and the loser would ultimately have to give in and say, "Okay, Uncle!" Then, it was okay for the victor to release the loser, and the loser to get up off the floor/ground/wherever. It would be used in various other contexts of physical prowess [or unfairness ] ~ arm wrestling; pulling a person's arm up and behind their own back; or whatever. It is also applicable to verbal bantering, as I used it about whether that attempt to make a non-word was actually a word or not.
