    Maybe Id means "Ed" but it's said in a thuck kayway icksint?
  • on the merkinball cd it is printed - i got id.
    so sure, they may prefer calling it i got shit, and that may well be their intended title, the one they put on the disc, i got id.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    They put the actual song on Rearviewmirror or on Lost Dogs as "I Got ID".

    right...because the record company didn't want "shit" listed on the album

    Reminds me of Ed Sullivan wanting to have The Doors change their lyrics.

  • It's I Got Shit.

    altho Doom's avatar should read 'Eat Id' ... ffs, i am appalled.

    Ed Sullivan DID make the Stones change Let's Spend the Night Together to Spend Some Time... ffs.

    Morrison wanted to sing, 'Baby you can bite my wire' instead of 'couildn't get much higher'.
    WOOT!

    Yes, it is I Got Id according to Merkinball.

    It is also listed on the PJ main page under songs as I got Id.

    My preference is Id but I love the point in the song when EV sings, "I go Shit"

    I hope they open Philadelphia with it or Id 10/27.

    If they could please hold that for the 30th or 31st I would be most grateful!

    the above Image (hopefully it comes out) does show I got Shit written, but it doesn't appear to be EV's hand.

    so the debate goes on.

    that would be cool. :)


    the point i was making by pointing towards the merkinball disc was simply this: "officially" the song title would be i got id.....simply b/c that IS what is printed on the disc. the fact that the band and we refer to it as what may well be the preferred name, 'i got shit', still in no way interferes with the name truly being, i got id. i think of it as legal names/preferred names. i know many people with one name, yet go by their middle name, a nick name, whatever.....but their name, legally, is still something else.

    as an aside, when i first got into pj (and yes, late blooming fan) i just happened to be at a local best buy and decided to peruse the pearl jam section, saw the merkinball disc, had no idea wtf is was.....saw the 2 songs on it, long road being the tune that truly got me into pj, and so i picked it up. nice, random find! :D




    btw - does ed indeed sing 'i go shit'.....? ;) thats news to me..... :lol:

    Some find D2D. I have been looking for that one for sometime now ever since my last one got into an accident and was damaged beyond hope. I know it's available to download but I am so old school that by the time I figured out how to do that, they would have a new format available and I still couldn't get it...So if any kind soul coming to the Philly shows should happen upon a copy, would you please pick it up and I will reimburse you. Thanks. And it's I Got ID on here so that's official but I have always called it I Got Shit and my son and I argue about this everytime we listen to it. One of my favorite PJ songs and holds a special meaning for my son as well.

  • If it helps, when they played Auckland in 1998, Ed introduced it by saying Split Enz had a song called "I Got You," so they wrote one called "I Got Shit."

    So it's "Shit" according to the man himself.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    of course, again to illustrate... just b/c someone is named francis, doesn't mean he - or she - wouldn't introduce themselves by as frankie. ;)

    official vs. preferred names
    formal vs. casual
    name on driver's license vs. what you choose to call yourself
    title listed on cd single/10c offical band site vs. what ed prefers to call it
    a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet
    or an id by any other name would smell just like shit
    luckily, it'll sound GREAT

    Merkin Ball was a true find.

    I love that EP and recall when it was release a local DJ saying "I Got Id" goes nowhere. What a total fuckin' tool, that song moves me every time.

    Now if we could get them to play Peace and Love from Mirror Ball, that would be a true treat.
  • i still say the most credible proof would be to look at the official legal documents from when they copyrighted the song. they could have it one way, put it on an album track listing a different way, put it on their site differently, put it on a setlist differently, and say it differently during a casual conversation...it's the legal documents made in producing the song that truly has the correct name of the song...i doubt we will have the ability to gain access to that, so it's going to remain unknown...our best bet is if any of us has the opportunity to meet and actually have a conversation with him to ask him the story behind the titles of the song, then perhaps we will all know, unless ed pulls a political answer by not really answering
