    Carly Simon - You're So Vain

    REAL
    But you gave away the things you loved
    And one of them was me
    I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee clouds in my coffee and
    You're so vain

    MISHEARD
    But you gave away the things you loved
    And one of them was me
    I had some dreams they were clowns in my coffee clowns in my coffee and
    You're so vain



    Not "misheard", but a "side note":
    Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
    And your horse naturally won

    Every time I hear this song, I think about my Nuclear Power Prototype that the Navy had me go to as a final stage before going to the sub.
    Outside Ballston Spa/Saratoga Springs NY, General Electric has several nuclear prototypes that were made to "prove a concept".
    Then, they don't throw them away. They monitor them to learn, to come up with anything found in the years following, and to train nukes so that they have actual hours on a reactor before going to sea.
    Anyway, the house some of the sailors rented was between the horse track and town. Walking distance. So, after a race, there was a nice parade of beautiful women in sundresses.

    Sometimes I wonder if that is what the Beatles had in mind. Weren't they famous for subliminal messages? :laugh:

    Number 9 - backwards! Backmasking.

    We had the album and the rumor was play it backwards and a secret message was there. "Turn me on dead man" or something like that.

    I had to look up AFAIK. :)

    It's possible. The nuke I trained on S8G is still in use, so they'd want to keep the prototype going to research any problems in the fleet. And they'll train nukes in the meantime.

    Some, like the D1G (we called it the Dig ball (see pic) has to be decomm'd by now, due to EOL (End Of Life). When the D1G was designed, they were designed for 30 year lifes. Modern nukes I think are designed for 50 years.

    (note, D1G is the "ball".) It's a giant containment structure.

    If you look on the left for a cylinder building, that's where I was, the S8G prototype.

    Just listened to Sunshine of your Love. One of my favorite got-the-lyrics-wrong. I've even seen the wrong lyrics printed multiple times.
    It's not "I'll stay with you 'til my seas all dried up."
    It's "I'll stay with you 'til my SEED'S all dried up."
