Name | New Career | Comments & Submitter Name |
"Eddie Vadder" | "Security guard" | In his youth, Eddie Vedder patrolled the night shift as a security guard at La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, Calif., recording music and surfing on his time off. In the '90s, Vedder was working at a gas station, before picking up with a Seattle-based group looking for a vocalist. Vedder’s self-recorded demo Momma-Son, highlighting his distinctive pipes and original lyrics, won him the gig. The band, Mookie Baylock, would later change their name to Pearl Jam after running into trademark issues. - Lefty Lucy |
"Eddie Vedder" | "Gas station attendant" | E-Ved was working as a gas station attendant when Jack Irons passed the demo tape onto him, which he then put vocals onto and became lead singer of Pearl Jam - GUILLOTINEinc |

"Jeremy"
Misheard Lyrics: At home drawing pictures
Of mountain tops With paper on top Lemon yellow sun Palm trees feed The dead leg in pools of brublo But he didn't give attention Oh, to the fact that money didn't care Deep down he is wicked Oh, rue this world Jeremy's spoken, pass the day Jeremy's spoken, pass the day Original Lyrics: At home drawing pictures
Of mountain tops With him on top Lemon yellow sun Arms raised in a V Dead lay in pools of maroon below Daddy didn't give attention Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care King Jeremy the wicked Oh, ruled his world Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today |

"Light Years"
The Funny Lyrics: I've understood feelings and I've understood words
But how could you be taken away? Why They're Funny: This whole song's funny because the band is telling the trendies (who liked Pearl Jam when they were popular and then dumped them) that they are completely irrational and can't think for themselves.

The Lyrics: Freezin' rests his head on a pillow made of concrete again
Oh feelin' maybe he'll see a little betters any days Oh hand out faces that he sees come again ain't that familiar Oh dark grin he can't help when he's happy he looks insane Why: The song seems upbeat and lively, but the lyrics describe the experience of being homeless. And this is only the first verse.
