That doesn't even make sense when jack is used in its infinitive form in the middle of a sentence. You lost me.

Yeah, a lot of people view bands as singles bands when they don't listen to their albums. Well, a lot of people don't realize some bands just suck at being consistent through a whole album. You're right, a lot of people don't realize that. Did you have a point you were trying to make?

^^ I'm pretty sure Nick got that. Indeed, I did. That doesn't even make sense when jack is used in its infinitive form in the middle of a sentence. You lost me. Infinitive form = to jack "Didn't he know to 'jacket' on the rack?" Jacket isn't a verb; the play on words, in a sentence, doesn't make literal sense and is weak. "Take off your pants and jacket." In an imperative sentence "(You) take off your pants and (you) 'jack it'" makes perfect sense and is very clever. Mark, Tom, and/or Travis - win Paul Phillips - fail

Which admittedly isn't a complete sentence on its own either, but most album titles aren't. As a title it's just signifying "a jacket on the rack". I dunno, I don't think either title is really all that clever but I'm not that into lowbrow jokes.

Stupid, but it makes sense.

So he said "Didn't he know to jack it on the rack" which makes perfect sense in context of the sentence. But in honesty we are all just over thinking this because of boredom.

Now that my brain is actually working, Nick, I get it now. He didn't say "Jacket on the rack" as a slang phrase in the sentence, they're using Jacket On The Rack as the album title because they can't very well call it Jack It On The Rack.

Well, they could, but it wouldn't be a double entendre. ;) Anyway, I'm more than happy to talk about anything else now. Jesus. That's two topics these past couple of days where I've been willingly sucked in to bitching about technical grammar.

"been willingly sucked"
You just split your infinitive motherf**ker. ;) Or verb phrase anyway. I'm pretty sure that's a grammatical no-no.

I think his point is that it should be "willingly been sucked."

yes that's the more proper way, but there's technically nothing wrong with the way Nick said it, its just less formal

LOLOLOL sorry I completely forgot that I started the thread!
Anyways based on the cock-rock trend, I have a feeling that Spaceship is a metaphor for a certain male organ

Let's not forget the genius (no, seriously) lyric in N.E.R.D.'s "She Wants to Move": "Her ass is a spaceship I want to ride." I mean, that's the line in that song that everyone remembers.
