Manfred Mann's Earth Band could be pronounced like you're the guy from Flash Gordon.

Good one! The The, Thee Thee, Thee The, The Thee...

> all of them

Well, technically yes, but "Bands who have words in their names that have two or more different meanings or standard pronounciations" was even more of a mouthful than the original topic!

I remember having a heated discussion in high school over whether their name was pronounced front-two-FOUR-two or FRONT-two-four-two.

310

(The pronounciation you hear on their records is "three ten", but I prefer "three hundred and ten".)

Tuomas, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:20 (sixteen years ago)

wait, why in the world would anyone pronounced it "front-two-FOUR-two"?

(I assumed the multiplicity there involved "two four two" versus "two forty-two")

Charalambides.

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:50 (sixteen years ago)

wait, why in the world would anyone pronounced it "front-two-FOUR-two"?

Dunno. I was arguing the other side.
