"You know the part in 'The Hanging Garden' where he sings, 'Cover my face as the animallllls… die,' right before the extended outro? That’s when I really feel 'feels like.'"

Has ESPN put out a memo telling its on-air people that Melbourne is pronounced "Melbun"?
They are ALL saying it like that, even though there's only one person on the broadcast team, Darren Cahill, who's actually Australian and would naturally pronounce it that way.

There once was a city called Newark
That wanted a poet to do work
So I took them a poem
But they sent me off home
And said, "Don't come back here, ya jerk"
