Listen to Ted Leo's new turlet-talking song :: Music News :: Articles

You Ain’t No Picasso has posted an MP3 of the new Ted Leo track “The World is in the Turlet” that recently premiered on Jersey City’s WFMU, having lovingly ganked it from the station’s forum. “You know, I used to tease my Georgia-raised dad for his occasional pronouncing the bathroom’s main feature as ‘turlet,’” YANP claims, but such dialect is actually more regional to almost anywhere but Georgia (urban dictionary claims Philly, Indiana and the Midwest, some websites say New Jersey or certain N.Y.C. boroughs, FYI).

As a Georgia-based publication, we feel it's important to stress this, unlike the way many folks with a strong southern accent don’t stress the “i” or non-existant "r" in “toilet,” so that it comes out more like “tohw-let.”

ANYWAY... Enough of that. Listen to the track, and get ready for the mess of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists tour dates coming up, many of them with Pearl Jam.
