SUBJECT:	How do you utter it? Back to Subjects
naut Sep 12 2014 at 8:09 PM	Remember the Seinfeld episode "these pretzels are making me thirsty"? Well, in a likewise manner, how do you speak aloud the holy and beloved title AYGWM? Is it "ARE you going with ME?" Or "Are YOU going WITH me"? Or could it be "ARE you GOING with me"? (a la DeNiro in his mirror) Or the inevitable (for the hard-of-hearing) "ARE YOU GOING WITH ME"?!? Just wondering. I can’t decide which is best....

I guess that sounds a bit bossy... ’Going’ is better, as in ’let’s please end up in the same place but you don’t have to travel in my car or anything’.

franksexton Oct 10 2014 at 7:56 AM	fair enough, Fred (thanks’ for the youtube link). It seems however that other people use this and add the ARE to it. There is a recent movie The Fraternity that does that.
toneman Oct 07 2014 at 10:51 AM	aye, Oystein, it’s a resounding YES - and it’s been quite a journey - who knows what lies ahead! Pat gathers no moss.
Oystein Oct 06 2014 at 4:56 AM	Pat asked this question in -82, and today it seemes like we are all going with him. ...no matter which word you emphasize...
alan2461 Oct 05 2014 at 4:53 PM	+1 what naut said. Lol
hman01 Oct 05 2014 at 2:04 PM	OK,I’m in.Are you going with me?
bebe Oct 04 2014 at 9:59 PM	a pissed kind of," are you going with me?" no emphasis, ’ cause if you aren’t i’m going anyway.
patsfan Sep 23 2014 at 10:29 PM	Brings to mind ’ As falls Wichita, so falls Wichita Falls ’. Where does the emphasis fall ? Downstream, upstream or right at the falls ? Methenology is so theoretical. ...
fredsimon Sep 20 2014 at 4:23 PM	Not to get too picky, but the De Niro line is "You talkin’ to ME?" emphasis on "me." Because he then looks around and says "Well I’m the only one here." Watch it here: http://youtu.be/lQkpes3dgzg
naut Sep 20 2014 at 9:57 AM	Hey, any uh yooz guyz going wimme?!?
franksexton Sep 17 2014 at 3:36 PM	Think of the classic movie line "ARE you TALKING to ME ?" and I think you have it.
naut Sep 17 2014 at 1:12 AM	"...his has to be one of the more irrelevant questions in Methenology" - You got that right, patsfan. It was just a question I’ve long pondered...meant to be amusing. ;) / As for Anna Marie, she could pronounce it any way she wants; I’d listen.... Thanks for your answers, folks!
patsfan Sep 16 2014 at 11:27 PM	Naut, sorry if I insulted you, and after thinking about the words alone and their implied emphasis and importance, I think it’s all about the psychological impact of the words themselves ... Nothing to do with the music at all. So, in cold hard humanistic terms, it’s all about human personality ..... The narcissist would emphasize the ME, the normal person would emphasize the YOU. Check that out with your psychologist ... If you have one
toneman Sep 16 2014 at 11:09 AM	the em-PHA-sis must be on the right syl-LA-ble. are you GOING with me? (or are we just friends)
patsfan Sep 15 2014 at 11:39 PM	Naut, this has to be one of the more irrelevant questions in Methenology.. But , to answer your question, and as Anna Marie Jopek pronounced the phrase, it was ’ Eeeeee. Owwww oooooe. Weeee ahhhhh ’. ::))
blisterfree Sep 15 2014 at 1:07 PM	"YOU ARE GOING WITH ME" At least once Pat hits the stomp box half-way through his solo during the encore!
hman01 Sep 14 2014 at 1:46 PM	naut-Interesting question! I usually say it like a song title-unimaginative I know..........
kukla Sep 14 2014 at 11:30 AM	since you asked....... as I read the examples you gave, they all seem somehow "in your face" and "demanding" I think the intent of the name of the song was meant to be much softer than that: are you going with me?
