So, Rob Thomas' new song is called MOCKINGBIRD, correct?

I ask because every fricking time I've heard a DJ introduce it recently, many different DJs on different stations, I heard all of them say MONKEY BIRD. I kept thinking, WTF kind of a name for a song is that?? and prompty changed the station.

Today, however, was the first time I actually *listened* to the song itself, and since there's a line about how "the mockingbird won't sing" in the chorus, it finally clicked for me that the DJs must have really been saying mockingbird all along.

Either they talk too fast or can't enunciate properly, or I'm losing my hearing!

LOL this made me laugh. I've heard that song once or twice (yes, I think it is called Mockingbird) but I have trouble hearing songs, it takes me like a minute to recognize anything, lol.
