Digga Digga Town

If you Google (and can we still use that verb? or must we be Cuiling things now?) the phrase "digga digga town," you'll get nothing. No results at all. Does that mean that the phrase exists nowhere, truly, on the mighty infinite Internet? That no upright hominid has ever typed these 16 characters into any document online? I don't know how exhaustive Googling something is. Perhaps if we Cuiled it. But it's a shame, because "digga digga town" is Jim Morrison has just done, about an hour ago, at the beginning of "LA Woman." Oh I know, he's widely supposed to have "just got into town." But that's not what he says. He clearly says "digga digga town," and it's a shame that, apparently, no one's looked into this.

PS: I admit that it's possible that Jim's saying that he "digga leena down," but I haven't Cuiled that.

PPS: About 5 minutes after I posted this entry, Googling "digga digga town" no longer returns zero results. It returns one: this entry. So my faith in Google has been restored.
