Another relevant reference to the albatross around your neck comes from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. it's a poem about a man who kills an albatross (the albatross was seen as good luck, so killing one was bad juju) and the horrible journey that follows. The crew turn on him when things go bad and literally make him wear the dead albatross around his neck. It has been 20 years since I read it, so forgive me any mistakes in my recollection. That's the gist of it, though.
It is likely the source of the idiom. |

This is a cover of an Edna's Goldfish song (at least, Edna's Goldfish recorded it in 1999, so i'm guessing it's theirs). I knew it sounded familiar when i first heard RBF do it but it took me months to figure out why. Finally, the older version popped up on my mp3 player's random and clued me in.
Yeah, i'm slow sometimes. |
