Potato Wave

The Pearl Jam song, Yellow Ledbetter has always been a favorite of mine. From the first time a friend played it for me and said, "You've gotta hear this," I loved it.

Unfortunately, no one has ever quite been sure of the meaning of the song, since a reliable Eddie Vedder to English dictionary has not yet been created. Most attempts to decipher the lyrics have involved reverse engineering what he might have sounded like without the cotton balls in his mouth.

Now, there is finally a definitive version of the lyrics, complete with pictures to accompany the song and lyrics. And it was on YouTube. Who would have guessed?
