DTE question from Philly Night 1

edited June 2010 in The Porch
Around the 2:55 mark, Ed sings the line:

"I'm ahead, I am advanced, I'm the first man to swim _________ pants." I tried headphones, iTunes, car, computer, but can't figure out what he is saying... sounds like the word "coral" is in there, but not sure...

Any ideas?

    Not quite.

    Coincidentally, I just happened to be listening to it this morning before reading this thread, and the line caught my ear.

    It's "I'm the first man to split my corduroy pants".

    In the same vein. ON Hartford 2008 single. During DTE Stone messes up the lead and Eddie says to him "you should have stuck with the bass". This was right after they played Smile. Pretty funny.

    Stone DOES NOT mess up, or have you never been at viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7010

    :lol::lol:

    Nah, actually I'd noticed the screw up but never noticed Ed saying that... it is funny!
