Editing 118: 50 Ways

{{ComicHeader|118|April 19, 2006}}

== Image Text ==
I woke up to find that I had scrawled the last line of this sleepily on a sheet of paper on my desk. I shouldn't have listened to the 70's hit marathon on the way home from work the night before.

== Description ==
The comic provides alternate lyrics to the chorus of the 1975 song [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_ways "50 Ways to leave your lover"] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5--Sje98jI Video])] by American artist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Simon Paul Simon]. Both the original and alternate lyrics provide a textical hook because the firstname at the end of the line is rhymed with the forelast word of the line (back/Jack, plan/Stan, go/Joe). 

[[Randall]], we learn from the image text, heard Simon's song during a 70's hit marathon, went to sleep, and while being sleepy replaced "lover" by "hover" while writing the title of the song. Clearly, this amuzed him so much he decided to create a comic where people learn how to hover, rather then leaving their lover.

-The comic provides alternate lyrics to the chorus of the 1975 song "{{w|50 Ways to Leave Your Lover}}" ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABXtWqmArUU Video]) by American artist {{w|Paul Simon}}. Both the original and alternate lyrics provide a textual hook because the name at the end of the line is rhymed with the word before it (back/Jack, plan/Stan, go/Joe).
-[[Randall]], we learn from the title text, heard Simon's song during a '70s hit marathon, went to sleep, and while being sleepy replaced "lover" by "hover" while writing the last line of the song's chorus. Thus changing this line from ''to leave your lover'' into ''to learn to hover''. Clearly, this amused him so much that he decided to create a comic where people learn how to hover, rather than leave their lover.
