Draggletail Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It's a song by a band called Space from 1996 called 'Female of the Species' Mrs Draggletail and I used to have long standing good humoured disagreements in the pub about the lyrics - I can only hear 'The Female of the species is more deadlier than the Male' She can only hear 'The Female of the species is more deadly than the Male' So, help me out if you like, listen to the video and do the poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 First one is correct, although wrong grammatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm a pedant. That song has always bugged me... Sorry Longshanks, but I'm with Draggletail on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHe, the disagreement was way before I joined Sheffield Forum, I think she's forgotton about it by now. If poll results come out in my favour I'll hit her with it (allthough I must remember to just sneakily check with her if she still holds the same view regarding the lyrics. She remembers stuff differently sometimes. Even after a few minutes if it suits her. Gets a bit tricky .....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) The poem by Ruddy Hard Kipling that the song is based on used "more deadly" http://www.potw.org/archive/potw96.html BTW - Have you ever let her listen to Space with Cerys - "The Ballad of Tom Jones"?

Mr Bloom Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 You're both wrong. It's actually: "The female of the species is more deadly, yeah, than the male." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
