this would be cool if you could actually understand what trey is saying!

[ShawnyMartin]

he is saying that Mike thought the words were "tryina make a woman match your moves" after a show in weekapaug. so they turned that into weekapaug groove.

@Nuthinsweet Not a lot of information is conveyed in that static. You can hear the melody of "Oh, What a Night" and that's about it.

@mutoneon are you listening dip shit?

@ShawnyMartin its not match your moves. Its trying to make a woman that you move. And I quote from the Phish companion 2nd edition, "Many fans have heard 'Trying to make a woman match your moves' in this song, perhaps in a (futile) effort to glean meaning from the songs meaningless lyrics." Sorry bud

what an epic fail of a video. it kind of helps if the subject matter described in the title is actually included in the content of said video.

"Oh What a Night" - future cover?  that would be interesting....
