David Bazan perform "Indian Summer" live from the Music Lounge during KEXP's broadcast from the 2010 Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. Recorded 9/5/10.
I actually asked him during one of his Q&A sessions during the Birmingham gig why he changed the lyric. He said that it was because it was kinda gross and that he wasn't comfortable making "dick jokes" in the songs anymore. I can't blame him, honestly. But yeah, just putting it out there from the mouth of the man himself.
Wow, these (camera) cuts are so distracting and unnecessary. Maybe I'm just used to La Blogotheque and Yours Truly. Good to see Bazan back on stage, though.
@bittabuffalo I agree complete, I also feel like "corporate cum" fit in with all of the sexual imagery that was so prevalent in Control, but feels more out of place when played by itself.
@catesong huh... takes some of the grit out of it. Though "bubble gum" does have a commercial/corporate/consumer culture feel to it that nicely preserves the overall gist of the song.
I saw Pedro the Lion at the University Theatre in 2001. Later saw them at Off the Ramp in 2003. Then later at the Ballard record store in 2004.

I think "Bubble Gum" is an appropriate euphemism for the original lyric. David has a precocious 4 year old, so I don't blame him.
