There are many a wife that has been widowed by the World of Warcraft craze that has swept the world. And plenty of men, women and children have fallen victim to the craziness of the addiction to this violent, expensive, wasteland generating game.
However there is an entire class of people that are being overlooked in our zeal to cast judgment on the yayhoos that have gone WoW-stupid. These folks are largely overlooked because they are the ones that missed the boat. That’s right, these poor people have missed the hit parade of early adopters and are now forced to work twice as hard, some times three times as hard, to accumulate the WoW wealth needed to really impress the female gnomes and imps trolling about the WoW.
But I have good news for these people. Blizzard Entertainment, the same folks that brought you World of Warcraft have recently announced plans for World of World of Warcraft, a game that allows those that missed the first rush of WoW freakiness to pass them by to easily integrate themselves into that world by gaming themselves into it.
Have a look:
So it appears that you can now put yourself into the game even if you are not in the game. How cool is that? No more being an outcast, outsider or freak that doesn’t know what a level 3 gnome rogue is. No way Jose. Now, you can be one of the cool folks associated with World of Warcraft, in your own World of World of Warcraft.
Now go play.
Of all the funny things that could have happened…
Wouldn’t you know it? I found myself in need of an encabulator. And not just any encabulator either.

Anyone that has ever been into rock has had to have come across Pearl Jam at some point. I had my first taste of the band in 1992 during my first year at college.
I am not sure what it was that attracted me to the band. Perhaps it was Eddie Vedder’s angry voice or Stone Gossard’s crazy rifts. Maybe it was the way that Jeff Ament made his bass tell a story with each pluck of the string. I don’t know. All I know is that I fell in love with the band and they had a lasting influence on me and my musical tastes for a long time.
One of the songs in particular that moved me (many did, mostly from the Ten and Vs. albums seeing as I stopped following the band when I got married) is Yellow Ledbetter. It has the baddest guitar and bass rifts in it. And Eddie Vedder just screams his head off at the right times and slows it down at the other right times. It is a fricking great song.
However, something always haunted me about that song… I could never parse the lyrics for the song. I started trying in 1993 and have yet to get a complete glimpse of the actual words Eddie Vedder used when singing it.
But I am please to announce that someone has indeed managed to successfully fetch the lyrics to the song Yellow Ledbetter and has put them in a video with the song playing in the background. Many thanks for your hard work in this endeavor.
Without any further ado, here are the transcribed words for the song Yellow Ledbetter, with some minor inconsistencies (as should be expected when trying to understanding Eddie Vedder as he sings):
I couldn’t resist posting this. It is just that good.
If you have ever taken (not that much) higher level math this should have had you creaming all over yourself. If not then there is just something not right with you.
And I mean that in the most loving way possible.
