The MousePod - MousePod #28 - Swing Street

Rather than argue an unwinnable point, I will instead thank you for enjoying the musical choices as they stood, teaching me that second-guessing is a silly and pointless thing.

Now, if you told me you liked the visuals that accompany the Dinah Shore short in MMM, then there would be a more "lively" discussion.

What if I won the point instead?

Check this out. One of many online. At one point they say "the Spanish R sounds nothing like the English R". If you find me a pronunciation site that says otherwise, I'll eat my hat.

Fine. You win. I said "unwinnable" when I should have said "retarded".

Since you don't want to drop the subject, I will reveal that I purposely pronounced the title of the song to match Nat 'King' Cole's pronunciation (how's that for a peek behind the curtain?).

I'm certainly not fluent, but I do know enough Spanish to know what an r sounds like.

Did you like the song? I did.

Jeez, since when is it retarded to want to pronounce things correctly? How could I have known you did it on purpose? (If that's even true.

) I didn't mean to out you or "ruin the magic" or anything. I wouldn't be surprised if you got a ton of emails on the subject.

I love Nat King Cole's voice but, like GD, I just can't handle the way he sings that. That's all.

No harm meant, hopefully none done.
