In my continued attempt to find some search term niche in which this blog shows up on the first page of Google results (is it satire?), I offer you the following means to ruin the experience of listening to Elbow, a good band.
Watch this.
And with that fresh in your ears, listen to this Elbow song.

Nevermind that he's singing "There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall," Guy Garvey, lead singer of Elbow, sounds like Winnie the Pooh. And once you realize this, you can't unhear it. Winnie's there in every track, albeit with a little more effort in his pronunciation. Still Winnie. You think he's singing about an Audience with the Pope, but it's just a metaphor for honey. Seldom Seen Kid? Because he's stuck.
You can't unhear it.
