Battle of the "mountain/fountain" rhymes!

"I went to the doctor/I went to the mountain/I looked to the children/I drank from the fountain"

"I went to the mountain/I listened to the sea/Both told me that the fountain/Was the best that you could be"

Obv I like "Had a Dad" a lot more, musically, lyrically, even those lines above - but WTF does PF even mean by that?

And both from the same era, oddly.

Jane's Addiction rocked. Indigo Girls did not. Thus, Jane's wins, of course.

Because, as we all well know, all that does not rock.....IS TEPID, RUNNY, PUNGENT CRAP!

To be cool risks being uncool
....

lesson 2198 : The Indigo Girls helped creak more beds than (sorry) horney Jane every did. Now that is totally rock 'n' roll cool in my book.

Yeah, but were you in them?

The mere thought of attempting to have sex to "Had A Dad" is causing my testicles to shrivel.

Well, for flannel wearing girls with mullets, maybe...

Jane's Addiction wins this by such a large margin that any further discussion is pretty much unnecessary. But out of curiosity, who throws on the Indigo Girls when they've got a date over? eeewwww...

But WTF is he getting at with the fountain?

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Monday, 27 September 2004 02:48 (twenty-one years ago)

It rhymes?

Reminds me of:

"If the sun/refused to shine/I don't mind/I don't mind/if the mountains/fell in the sea/let it be/it ain't me"
-Hendrix

vs.

"If the sun refused to shine/I would still be loving you/Mountains crumble to the sea/there would still be you and me."
-Zeppelin
