Le Sarvee Farv

That's how the band members pronounce it on the Inches 'extras' disc


thats what i thought

that was easy! its just i had a rather heated debate with a mate who was adamant it was "savvy fav"


I still say savvy fav though

even though I know I'm wrong


^ and me

can't be arsed to pronounce it properly


well they are fools

les is blatantly plural and would not be pronounced as the singular 'Le'


They do say 'Lay'

That was a mistake on my part


lay savvy fav

?


Phonetically its

"Loh-tz Ov Fihl-err"


Ignore mine

^that's a much better phonetic iterpretation


that's the right pronounciation

he has got it. But I still mostly pronounce it to my friends as Les Savvee Fav.


I thought it was just as it's spelt:

Lez Savvy Fav


this is

my thoughts too. in fact i dont see how it can be pronounced any other way???


'LEZ'

All dyke covers band!


Lez Savvy Vag

hopefully


LAY SAR-VEE FARV

That's how Tim pronounces it anyway.


For some reason

i call them Les Savy Fay


lay savvy favv ?

in the intro to 3/5 the french dude says it.


In American-English: LAY-SAR-VEE-FARV

..which is probably right in this instance seeing as they're an American band.

But, French people would most likely use:

LAY-SA-VEE-FAV


i thought i was just going to be lambasted

for not really knowing, but it looks as though noone on here can make their minds up either. great


people are talking rubbish

lay-SAH-vee-FAHV, as said above. listen to the first song on their first album. they say it there.


From wiki...

"Les Savy Fav (pronounced lay-SAH-vee-FAHV)"
I'm sure it used to say this on the FrenchKiss Records site also.


???

I thought it ws LA-SAVI-FAV (not as in favourite but fav, as in 'av it)


lolz^

its better than the real one!


It's ruined them for me now

because every time I feel like listening to them I just burst out laughing. In fact 'curlew pandy' seems to just be costantly circulating in my head.


i dont have that problem

as i didnt like em anyway, still a crease though


bish bash bosh
