Jim's Precise Articulations

[millerjustin]

OK folks - have there been any prior discussions about how Jim pronounces some words with a specific emphasis on the last letter?  Examples include "you should worK" in Victory Dance, "cemenT" in Bermuda Highway and some others...I always assumed that the Bermuda example was a result of not wanting the word to be confused with a similar skeet-alogical reference, but maybe I'm wrong on that one....

Has he always done this?  Is there an inside story on this?  do tell

He's enunciating. I like it when he licks the microphone with his hair in his mouth while he sings. He looks like a hairy beast.

He does the opposite on Librarian (EU).
"Karen, of the Carpenders" - not ters. Drives me nuts .
He is from Kentucky though, as was my mom- and I've heard that plenty growing up in Indiana.
I also always think he's gonna sing
"..... to the hall of books
Since we got the interweb, these hardly get a look."
Think he thought  of this when writing, before selecting "used"?
He's a genius anyway!!!
By the way, Listening to MMJ on my ipod the other day and somehow hit the Genius feature. It created a playlist titled Singer/songwriters - 25 'alike ' songs from over 1000 on ipod from over 300 Artists.
