Chord = cord
This was a pun I had missed, if it was conceived that way.
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 13 December 2023 22:16 (five months ago) link
Duh, yes. Seems unlikely anyone would bother making such a pun though?
― Free Ass Ange (Tom D.), Wednesday, 13 December 2023 22:24 (five months ago) link
Yeah, is it really missing it if it was punintentional?

Love the ones that reveal themselves to you after 40 years
Is the title of The The's Soul Mining a pun on coal mining? Because if it is, that's another one I've just got after 40 years.
― lord of the rongs (anagram), Friday, 19 January 2024 15:41 (four months ago) link
Almost certainly.

Not really a pun, but I was just thinking about that line in 10000 Maniacs "Hey Jack Kerouac" that goes "In Harelm, howling at night" and realized in addition to describing wild behavior it also references the Ginsberg poem.
― nickn, Thursday, 25 January 2024 17:32 (four months ago) link
if it's not really a pun you can put it in the "things you were shockingly old when you learned" thread, which should really be renamed "things"
― G. DâArcy Cheesewright (silby), Thursday, 25 January 2024 19:42 (four months ago) link
altho, #onethread
I put it here because I just realized it (on my own) rather than "learned" it.

The The's pun would have landed for me if it'd been spelled "Soulmining", but I am pleased to have seen the light after listening to it for 40 years, how the fuck is that even possible.

The exclamation "here I am!" in "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by Scorpions doubles as an imperative to "hear (that) I am" - take this music as sonic proof of my existence. A germane topic, since (one of) the theme(s) of the song is Scorpions' ability and desire to Rock You with that music.
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 26 January 2024 15:48 (four months ago) link
A German(e) topic in fact.

...this wordplay is even more impressive since they are working in a second language.

Although I would submit the lyrics of "Rock You Like a Hurricane" as a demonstration of the pitfalls of working in a second language

this is why the americans were told to call it "clue" - because they don't call ludo "ludo" and therefore the vital pun would not have registered
