I kid you not.

Ah, cheers for that. I should probably get my bootleg out sometime.
I also need to add the snippets for that longest Bad ever from East Rutherford ... but I don't actually have the boot. Just never got around to getting it, it's one of the few absent from my collection.

And, come on, Te Urewera "the burnt penis" National Park has got to be on the list.

I haven't listened to it in a while, but i think the site largely has right.
As an aside, that show has the Maybe the time is right/Maybe tonight lines sung in New Year's Day - how many other examples are there of this? It kicks the shit out of just repeating the chorus again.

Vazza reckons it also has Candle In The Wind.
Huh, generally it's said that verse hasn't been done. Honestly though, I've never paid attention so I couldn't tell you if Bono used to do it on occasion or not. I'll have to pay closer attention.

And it's in New Zealand, so it's an inherent winner.
I remember once reading that the name of some river down in Westland translates to "dogshit waters" in English or something like that, but I can't remember which one now.
9. Hookersville, West Virginia
Undoubtedly named before "hooker" meant "prostitute who picks men up on street corners," Hookersville combines two crimes of place-naming. One, a dirty sounding adjective (they couldn't have chosen "Pleasant"? "Sunny"? "Happy"?) And two, they added "ville" to the end of the town's name. Affixing "ville" to the end of a town's name is like dressing your silly little dog in a cardigan and letting him carry his leash around in his mouth. It just makes the poor animal look fucking stupid.
