Does anyone have a clue which Joanna Newsom song has a line about muting a bell in water?

is it the one about porpises, venus fly traps, and dirt?

no, i'm pretty sure it's the one about milkshakes, spiders and the hanta virus

No, it's the one where her voice sounds like a wolf queef, and she talks about pantaloons, St. Vitus' Dance, and blood oranges.

(I actually love her album, but I don't think there's any lyric about underwater bell-muting on it - maybe it's from a b-side or one of her self-released eps?)

hilarious. The ignorant resort to pfm style puns.

Ignorant? Puns?

It's the one about spinach, tablespoons and limescale.

"hilarious. The ignorant resort to pfm style puns.
-- greco (grec...), April 14th, 2005."

Wait, I'm still confused/fascinated by the above comment, from Greco -- is he being sarcastic, and then suggesting that people's responses to the artist mentioned in the thread are similar to the type of "clever wordplay" you might find in a Pitchfork review?

I don't get it. Has anyone made a "pun" in this thread?

And, incidentally, now I'm pretty sure it's the one about whooping cranes, tetherball, and musilage.
