At the end of Androgynous...

[TimEraTim]

Paul says "Jefferson's cock," a reference to that band he was in 84 or thereabouts... I've listened to the song 1,000 times over the years and never caught that.

I was all set to call bullshit, but you're fuckin' right.

Reminds me of hearing "...for the sky" at the end of Within Your Reach, after years of listening. Nice work.

[MacGyver]

Wow. My mind is officially blown.

Yep. I'm not going to go digging for it, but there was a thread on the old Usenet group about the "Jefferson's Cock" ending of "Androgynous."

Edit: digging done

just heard from a friend the other day who told me that on > August 6, 1983, the band "Jefferson's Cock" which consisted of Paul, Chris

That's not the only Jefferson's Cock story out there. I was reading some
reminiscences from local (Boston) rock personalities and it came up. Lili
Dennison (who has booked bands for numerous venues over the years) used
to have the Mats stay at her house when they were in town. Apparently one
night they went into her closet, put on a bunch of her clothes, showed up at
The Rat (R.I.P.) in Boston, kicked whatever local band that was playing off
the stage, and performed as Jefferson's Cock.
