I had a mid-day shift at the time and the hot record was "Funky Town". I totally missed the joke. For more than a month, I totally missed the joke. For over a month, I announced the "band" as "Lipps Incorporated". Until, one day, I heard another announcer announce them as "Lipps Inc". "Lipps Inc". "Lip sync". Oh. Excuse me, I'm just going to go crawl under this rock for a little while. I tried to cover by turning it into an ongoing bit, where I would purposely get the artist or song title wrong (my favorite was John Stewart's "Lost Her In The Sun", which I would announce as "Lobster In The Sun"), but I don't think anyone was buying it. Sadly, I wasn't 9 or 10 at the time.Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-24649795125854277942016-05-20T00:17:21.401-04:002016-05-20T00:17:21.401-04:00For me it was Willie Strangle, I mean Stargell, un...For me it was Willie Strangle, I mean Stargell, until I was corrected by a friend in the lunch line. I was 10 and showing off some new 1974 League Leader cards. I still can't believe I misread his name.AthleticGiganteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993227153949066667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-32639463236290642222016-05-19T23:11:50.214-04:002016-05-19T23:11:50.214-04:00I never saw the 'n' in Rettenmund and unwi...I never saw the 'n' in Rettenmund and unwittingly added an extra 'l' to Lynn McGlothen (between the h and the e.)
