Annunciation - a little laugh

I know there’s a running joke/discussion about Hoziers lack of enunciation (edit) in some songs, so this was too good to not share with the masses.

My daughter (she’s 5) was singing yesterday and she said “mom, why does he say limmy jimmy?” And I said “I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you mean” and she said “when my time comes around, limmy jimmy in the cold dark earth” 😂😭

Safe to say Work Song will never be listened to the same again.

Listen, I used to think the lyrics: “I wanna be loud - so loud I’m talkin’ seismic” from Anything But were: “I wanna be loved - so Lord come circumcise me” and for too long I just rolled with that because I thought it was some metaphorical shit I was too dumb to understand.

Literally laughed out loud bc this is so reallll. Like idk maybe if I go with it enough I’ll get it eventually 🤣🤣🤣 it’s very Hozier to use circumcision as a metaphor too. So relatable.
