The title refers to how intentions can't compensate for not being able to guess how wording implying/meaning something(s) in ones own conceptual context can imply/mean All Kinds Of Other Thing(s) in others' conceptual contexts.
It also serves as a wink of sorts.
Our assisted living venue performance last night went well. There was the usual confusion along the lines of staff not knowing what to tell us about where to set up due to their management not having prepare them. And then there were the, well, just heartbreaking moments seeing others with nine-toes-in-the-grave (as it were) get emotional while singing along with either Christmas tunes or songs from their day.
It wasn't more than a handful of years ago that I couldn't imagine their estate. And yet now joint pain and various forms of not-the-good-kind stiffness regularly murmur of that coming reality.
Tonight will be quite the phase shift to perform in a bar that'll likely be mostly people younger than us.
And then tomorrow it'll be mostly for children, which will present additional opportunities for eye-wellings....

I've the lyrics somewhere, but of course the stranglehold of digital entropy is laughing hysterically over my having just typed that....
I've also a bunch of software-development-related song spoofs, but they're from a rather different time, and were created for a specific group of people - i.e. coworkers - and thus inside jokes likely won't come through to others...
— RMS liked this tune (seriously)
