plain english

in alan alda's film the four seasons a group of close friends from ny city take their year-end vacation skiing somewhere in the no.e. u.s.a.

they are in a bar with a horrible local band playing in the background...

at the head of the table for all to see.... danny, the dentist confesses to his friends that he is afraid of his underwear, that it will somehow consume him; he uses flowery words to describe this overwhelming phobia...

alan alda's character, jack remarks:

"why can't you just use plain english. you talk like a bad textbook!"

danny (the dentist) responds:

"now i just told you my deepest fears; why can't you listen to what i am saying not how i am saying it!"

meanwhile, jack's wife, played by carol burnett says in a motherease tone of voice:

"oh danny, we're sorry" and in the very next moment, adds: "tell me seriously, are really afraid of your underwear!?"

needless to say, danny turns gloomy, saying, "you think i hurt because i am quirky; but you've got it wrong; i'm quirky because i hurt."

if the "song" expresses my deep soul, then listen to what it is saying and try to ignore how poorly it is recorded
