Back In Black Somebody wanna do me a favor and grab their old copy of Back In Black and answer a question for me? I could swear that when I first bought the album in 1981 or so, the 4th song was listed on the cover as "Given The Dog A Bone." Even in 8th grade, I knew that was grammatically incorrect. But in flipping thru a friend's CD folder (he's gotten rid of the covers and cases), I see that on the CD version, the song is listed as the grammatically proper "Giving The Dog A Bone" (oddly, when I pop it into my computer, it comes up on iTunes as "Givin' The Dog A Bone"). I no longer have my vinyl version of the record anymore, so can someone tell me if my recollection is correct and that some genius editor at Atlantic has since gone back and corrected the song title? Or am I making this up entirely? https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,24518,24518#msg-24518 Fri, 13 Mar 2026 11:50:24 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,24518,24562#msg-24562 Re: Back In Black https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,24518,24562#msg-24562 nosepail Trouser Press Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:36:20 +0000 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,24518,24560#msg-24560 Re: Back In Black https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,24518,24560#msg-24560

Because Harper's was full up that go-round?

The schoolboy's uniform is not a mere affectation, you see? Truly committed to learning they are! Modern day philosophers. The rocking sort, of course.

You know, I think there might still be a snap of our Angus leafing through a copy of Fowler around here somewhere. Where did I leave it?

...

No. My mistake. He'd just placed the book on the table in the foyer when the picture was taken. No such luck. You'll just have to trust me on this one.]]> HollowbodyKay Trouser Press Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:25:48 +0000 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,24518,24520#msg-24520 Re: Back In Black https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,24518,24520#msg-24520
