It would be arrogant of me to say I have *solved* the "mis-hearing" but I did
notice, that on my U.S. CD, if I start the song at 0:00, I don't hear
"Columbia."  I have to go back and play the last 1/2-second of "Jig of Life"
to hear the beginning of the word "Columbia."  I haven't tried listening to
it without the Dreaming Plug, but with the Dreaming Plug, it is quite
distinctly "Columbia."  Please, give it another listen...

Once again, I don't want to sound arrogant, but I find it hard to believe
that anyone could mistake the word as anything other than "Columbia"--it's SO
INCREDIBLY clear on my CD that there's no possible way it could be anything
but "Columbia."  Strange... }:-)
