Guest tandylacker Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hey, are there any songs that have Jeff Tweedy clearly saying the word 'hate?' I'm pretty sure he's saying 'I had it here' rather than 'I hate it here'.... Is this a mid-western thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nonlinear Nonfiction Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Well, considering the name of the song according to Wilco's website is "Hate It Here," I'm not sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

H to the ickle Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm fairly sure you're wrong and illiterate. I'm not a doctor, but I'm fairly sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 yeah you are definitely wrong. Had it here doesn't even make sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 "Well alright, I know you probably hate me, well that's O.K. with me..... well, alright"-Outta Mind (Outta Sight) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socbret Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I hear "hate". Jeff has the typical St. Louis accent when he speaks (which isn't much of anything), but most of the time the way someone sings isn't terribly indicative of the way they speak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DawgSong Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Woody Guthrie's "Meanest Man" (MA-2), I guess would qualify "I'd preach the gospel of hate and I'd drink your blood" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socbret Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 st. louis has an accent? i don't think so.I don't know, my whole family talks like Jeff seems to talk, so I can only assume it's regional. Whateva...accent was the wrong word. This is a dumb topic and I just made it dumber. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is a dumb topic and I just made it dumber. it's ok, i'm over on the left side of the state and i've never noticed a difference whenever i'm in stl. hell, maybe i've got an accent and don't know it. it's all relative i guess.

H to the ickle Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Yeah, people from the St. Louis area (Myself included) tend to reduce consonants and vowels in their speech a lot or run just them together. Though it is definitely "Hate". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 He's clearly pronouncing it strangely ("Uh hwad it... here!"). Dunno why, but it's tons of fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 He's clearly pronouncing it strangelyI've noticed that a lot with Tweedy, moreso YHF and after. Mostly on the live album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zebra Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 When I listen to the very begining of this song I think of, "Budlight presents, real men of genius...". Except for that, I love the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
