Topic: Bands/Albums/Songs Pronunciation Posted: November 21 2014 at 12:21 |
I doubt we are all pronouncing everything the same way. For example, is Phideaux pronounced like "Fido"? What about Tago Mago? Popol Vuh? Nemrud? Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré? Arubaluba? Obviously foreign languages will be a big factor, but what are some Bands/Albums/Songs with unusual (and by unusual I mean unusual for you) spelling and how do YOU pronounce them? I'm just curious

Haken. I've always pronounced this as Hockin' but recently found out they are "Haken like bacon".

I always pronounced "Present" the American way as in Birthday Present, but found out it's really pronounced like an American pretending to be French would say it.

I agree with all of these. I pronounce Nemrud as though it rhymes with "them rude".

Igra Staklienih Perli - I pronounce 'Eegra Staklienee Perlee'; Neuschwanstein - I pronounce 'Neuskvanstein', perhaps this is more or less the correct spelling, thanks to some notion of German language pronunciation. Ines Fuchs - Is this band pronounced 'Ines f**ks' nevertheless?

Can anybody tell me how is Pekka Pohjola pronounced? Is the "j" spelled like in English or like in Spanish?

"Fido" is the correct pronunciation, though I always have to resist the urge to say "Fee-doo"

The "u" in Fuchs is like a double o in English. I would spell it "Foox" Neuschwanstein is quite correct: Noyyshvanstein should be closer to German (eu=oyy). I have never heard the other, but I think you have written its phonetic perfectly

Tago Mago I've always pronounced as "tay-go may-go", though I recently heard it pronounced "tah-go mah-go".
There is a correct pronunciation, since the album is named after the Illa de Tagomago, but I don't know if it is one, the other, or neither.

How do you pronounce Terje Rypdal? I've always been lazy and just pronounced it in a way I'm sure is wrong, but I'd like to get in the habit of saying it correctly. (Norwegian guitarist)

Interesting thread. I naturally thought PHIDEAUX is like the dog Fido. Nebelnest - is it 'nee-bell-nest' or 'nebbel-nest' ?? Tago Mago always went like Taygo-Maygo (I once heard this 'tripper' at a record fair call this Tango Mango....) Ummagumma - as it looks or Ooh-ma Goo-ma ?? Mason pronounces it as the latter ...... Haken - like bacon Yes should be read as Chris Squire enterprises...... Dungen - I believe this to be Doon-yen - but more often than not as Dungeon Hidria Spacefolk - is it Hid-ri-ah or Hy-dri-ah ?? Anglagard I believe to sound like Eng-le-gord ?? I'm sure we all pronounce foreign titles/bands quite differently too.

The "j" is actually pronounced like in Italian (as in "io"). The "h" is voiced, but otherwise the name is pronounced as it would be if the name was Italian - i.e. phonetically.

Ines F**ks is funny - 'Foox' is quite right I'm not familiar with phonetics however ... Phideaux - I always said something like 'Feedow'

IGRA STAKLIENIH PERLI I'm going to make an educated guess since Yugoslavian has many words similar to Russian. I haven't looked it up , but would appear to mean 100-year pearl game/play.
