That would be terrible luck. Not like a bird shitting on you. That is honestly terrible luck as well. Lol

A bird shitting on you is unlucky? My nona said it was lucky—especially on your wedding day!

But the two-tunnels thing…that WOULD be terribly unlucky. Catastrophic.

What’s lucky about having shit on you

It’s an old Italian saying, meaning you were singled out and thus are special. IDK its origins.

Goddamn it. Must be the alligator lizards in the air, again then.

Well, like birds, terrestrial lizards don’t urinate. I guess, though, that I can’t speak for mythical ones in the air (in the aiiiirrrrr). I know what I’m listening to now.

Oh damn! TIL! Anyway, yeah that song always makes me nostalgic for the 1970s. Even though I was born in 1993. Has to be the most 70’s songs out there. I picture myself driving a convertible along the Pacific Highway in California, the year is 1977.

Yeah I wonder did it mean something deeper like a hidden message? Or did they just put something random in the song? Still an amazing song nonetheless!!
