***superpeer*** · 10-03-2005, 05:36 PM

How can you mispronounce Mogwai? Must be an American thing.

Happymeal · 10-03-2005, 05:37 PM

haha sugar ross

on a live video it's "sigah ross"

pikester · 10-03-2005, 05:39 PM

Nobody ever pronounces it right. It makes me sad.

As for how to actually pronounce it, I refer you to: http://sigur-ros.co.uk/band/pronunci.php

Soof-yon Stee-vens.

I was going to say it in my post before, because his name almost always comes up in pronounciation threads, but I figured it had been said enough.

I was wrong again.

ZEROthirtythree · 10-03-2005, 05:53 PM

So is Mogwai... mog-way?

and is Kaada.... kay-da?

Bartender · 10-03-2005, 05:55 PM

Mog-why, I think.

And I've always pronounced Kaada kind of like Carda.

I'd pronounce it Mogwhy, but that's just me.

BEATEN

And I'd say Kah-dah.

This would be so much easier if you all knew the phonetic alphabet.

ATM · 10-03-2005, 06:01 PM

I say Mog-why, as well.

Mog-way sounds really akward.

I was debating how to phrase my phonetic Kaada for quite a while.

***Zappa*** · 10-03-2005, 06:13 PM

It's mog way or the high-way.

The thing about the phonetic alphabet is that people pronounce things differently.

Wanker · 10-03-2005, 06:42 PM

I think it's phoenetically pronounced 'seeyor rose.'

and I pronounce Mogwai as 'Mogwhy.' I dunno why.
