pinkunicorn123 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 We have all been arguing for weeks since the broadcast in the UK of Mika's cover 'I got life' on Jools' Hootenanny 2007/08. For those of you who havent yet seen it or would like to relisten, here is the link, provided by our very own babs: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GrP7VggNuZI The video has drawn 123 comments alone, not to mention the constant mentioning on the mfc. So, at 1:02 - Does he, or does he not say 'aint got no chicken'? The correct lyric would be 'aint got no ticket', and with off pronounciation, it would easily be that also - make your votes. Lets settle it. For the sake of man kind and mfc post counts. EDIT: This post from a newbie had to be brought to the front page by default....lmao! You know what? I think I actually registered here to vote for chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkunicorn123 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 He's saying "Chick - eh"But he means "Tick-et" Which is my vote also - but everyone is sure he says chicken, 'just for us' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think he meant to say "ticket". But, he clearly has chicken on the brain these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stien Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 as much as I want it to be CHICKEN... I must admit my brain tells me it really was a crappy-pronounced TICKET Mika, go see a logopedist (?)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit my brain tells me it really was a crappy-pronounced TICKET Mika, go see a logopedist (?)! logopedist? *googles* No, your right, logopedist. I think its more of a mica singing flare/technique than it is a speech impediment lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scut Monkey Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 He's saying "Chick - eh"But he means "Tick-et" My hearing says he sang "chickeeeh". Reasoning, including the fact that it's a well-known song sung on a well-known program and that Mika is a notorious mispronouncer, tells me that it's a mispronounced version of the original lyric "ticket". But someone said that they watched the program with subtitles and it said "chicken", so I'm not entirely sure of my previous view any more. But I voted "ticket" anyway.

I agree with scut above, regarding what he actually sings, but I don't think he meant it to be chicken. Also if you listen to some Grace Kellys, (live) he often says 'chello my baby' Or that's what Jems and I hear anyway. Another thing, when he's live and says 'come on' it sometimes sounds like ch, so I just think he is prone to pronounce certain words in that way.

Another thing, when he's live and says 'come on' it sometimes sounds like ch, so I just think he is prone to pronounce certain words in that way. I agree, he often inserts odd pronunciations when he sings. But as Christine pointed out earlier today, it's odd considering that he enunciates very well when he speaks.

Especially in the beginning of Relax after the first time he sings the chorus. There's a small instrumental intermezzo and he al-ways screams: "che-mooo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scut Monkey Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 its so funny... the conversatons on this forum... im sure we entertain mika.... I doubt that he reads the forum much at all any more.
