Are any professions relevant? Is the relationship between you and him relevant? Are you strangers? family members? friends? colleagues? The thing he does: Is it a sort of action? Does he do it once? several times? relevant how long it takes? does the thing he does involve any objects? Is he human? adult? male? Are any more people involved? Is the place where this happened relevant? | ||

Was your reasoning to do with the fact that he is a country singer? to do with some fact about him? eg from Oklahoma? from his style of singing (eg modern cowboy)style of dress?

So one line in his lyrics made you think "he does"? And through a second source of information it turned out that "he really does"? Are there any particular words in his lyrics to be found out? nouns?

I did indeed, and that's a *****SPOILER***** One of the lines in Garth Brooks' 1990 hit single Friends in Low Places is "Think I'll slip on down to the oasis." For the last 17+ years, I had always heard this line as "Think I'll slip on down to the ol' races." Based on this mondegreen, I always thought that Brooks was a fan of racing, and to my Americanized teenage mind, car racing was what I thought of. However, I recently found out that Brooks has signed an endorsement deal with NASCAR, thus showing that he does support racing, although my reasoning was flawed. Thanks to everyone for plugging away at this one, especially Tobasi, and Woubit for finishing it off. My other puzzle, "The Decider", is still open and waiting for more brilliant minds! |
