Onto side C, where we kick off the second record with a mondegreen<\/a>.

One of my favorite lyrics in “Vibe So Hot” is when Benji Hughes sings “I’m standing in a cape on your lawn.”

Only that’s not the line. It’s “I’m singing in a camp on your lawn.”<\/p>\r\n

It took Priscilla Ahn’s cover version<\/a> to make me realize my error (fun fact: Jonathan Wilson’s cover<\/a> goes “singing to the bird on your lawn”), but when it came time to write the L Extreme<\/em><\/a> chapter I owned my mistake and did it the way I always heard it.

What would someone standing in a cape on someone’s lawn do? Especially if that someone had a jambox at their disposal?

Sometimes stories write themselves. From here we take our cues from most of the remaining lyrics<\/a> in something resembling a play by play of a song that isn’t that type.

Plot-wise I knew it was time to get the whole gang together and moving towards a resolution of what was set up on the first two sides, so here we have Benji, C, L, and Frank all interacting (albeit sometimes from afar) for the first time.<\/p>\r\n
