Title: what does mahgeetah mean?
Post by: beband on Oct 20, 2005, 06:35 AM
I'm looking for the meaning of the word here.  I thought a search wouldn't help because it would yield too much about just the song itself.  So is it a place, person, thing?  I am sorry if I should know this, but I had never heard the word, but love the song and hope by knowing what the word is, it will help me gain more insight on the song.  Thanks guys & gals.

My Guitar.  I've always thought it was a love song to his guitar.  Or his Geetar.

that's frikin hilarious!  I find new reasons to love this band.  I really like the way Jim phrases things.  I had to finally look at the lyrics on "One Big Holiday" just to find out he said "limber" because when he sings it, it sounds "lee amber".  Wow.  My Guitar.  HAHAHA.

For those of us that are not understanding what you mean by Cock, Jesus and so forth, could you explain the connection?  Why do you think Mahgeetah is about Jesus?

I think what they mean is Magheeta means "Jesus had a great big cock" in Aramaic

Or least that's what my subjective interpretation is.  That is the definition of the work that moves me the most.

This thread has become a series of jokes from different places all over this board, Clarkwork.

I laugh pretty hard at the word cock.  That became a thing for a while.  I'm actually feeling fairly embarassed about that.

The Jesus stuff, I thought, was a joke because of the amount of people who thought that What a Wonderful Man was about Jesus.

That's what John meant about Jesus being the new cock.

(Or, maybe, John were you offended by my laughing at that?)
