It's a catch twenty twoooo-whoooo-ooooo-whoooo....
Huh, I wonder why this post isn't showing up on anyone else's browser.
Because I know the mineshaft would grasp the awesomeness of the song, and not just ignore it.
The song is in almost my least favorite musical style of all, Stevie Wonderese.
How can an entire Mineshaft have a uniform opinion on an entire genre of music?
Patience, you'll probably find some takers on the night shift.
sheeeee was unhapilleeee marrieed with chihilhildren
too awesome.
15: Exactly!! So great! "But what about meeeeee?"
Those lines are where the song reaches some kind of escape velocity and is propelled into the high orbit of batshit awesome awfulness.
The first 15 seconds of that song are awful. Is there some point I should forward to?
I think the idea is that the whole thing is awful, Sifu.
Except it's fantastically awful, until it just becomes straight-up fantastic.
This is the second time where I've accidentally double clicked on a music video, and thus started copies playing, one in the original window which I don't notice, and one in a new window. When this happens, I think "Wow, the artist has done something really daring with delay. I'm not sure if I like it."

Unlike the song in the post, this is utterly compelling.

Loving 24, though. If I had to pick one celebrity to drive cross-country with, he would totally win.
Oh man, that'd be fantastic. Especially if we took his car.
I keep trying to turn 24 off, but keeping it on in the background is oddly comforting.
Like, I'm just doing my shit, skyping with Snoop, whatever.
30: Snoop doesn't demand your attention. He'll just wake and bake, put on some cool music, you know. You do your thing. Snoop'll be there.
I think snoop has broken Tommy Chong's lifetime hours-spent-smoking-weed-in-public record.
I'm imagining this skyping session was with Snoop's sister and toddler niece in Mongolia.
I made it 1:48 into the song. Awful, awful.
Music Thread!!
Watched a Pixies Reunion documentary last night, and they're have all gotten really...nevermind. Don't like Pixies. Loud, noisy, don't understand lyrics.
Do like Frank Black solo & Breeders. Apparemtly Charles & Kim just brought the worst in each other.
The song in the post seems to lack a chorus.
Okay, I'm getting Hebbie's point. The linked song isn't good, but it's endearing in a dorky way.
While the emotions of the song are cliched the stream of consciousness lyrics give the feeling of surprise and going in unexpected twists.
15: sheeeee was unhapilleeee marrieed with chihilhildren
herrrr best friend thinks that she should leeeeeave
but her famileeee are mostleeee opposed
her mom and one sissterrrrrr want herrrr to stayyyyy
even though she doesn't love him as much as meeeee
at leeeeast herrr other sissterrr's not so suuuuurrre
but she deeeefers to the rest of the famileeeee
and there are financial considerations toooo-woo-hoo
she may just beee Madame Bovareeeee-eee-eee
I just played this (again, obviously) and was indeed struck once more by the ridiculousness of "sheeeee was unhapileeee marrieed with chihilhildren" but, yeah, nothing really tops the glory of "but what about meeeeeeee?"
but she deeeefers to the rest of the famileeeee
and then reeeturns to chopping broccoleeee
it sounds like the kid in the back of the carseat who's just making up the lyrics as he goes along.
Trapped in the Closet takes the cake for this.
42: That video won a special part of my heart. Chances are I might watch it all the way through again tonight. Thanks, lemmy.
39:nothing really tops the glory of "but what about meeeeeeee?"
It's the Carl Thomas Decade.
Oh wait, I guess "It's all about Stanleeeeeeee!"
Chopping broccoli is on hulu. Didn't realize until now that they posted clips from so far back.
It really does sound like a kid making up lyrics in the backseat.
It drives me crazy when kids do that.
45: What did I ever do to you, Stormcrow? I mean, really.
48: Absolutely nothing. Other than that you're generally good-natured and congenial in the face of people mildly taking the piss out of you. I like that in a man.
And in this case having a name that ended with a long "e".
But enough about yoooo-ooo-ooo,
What about meeeeee?
Hi CC! Good morning
it's an old folksong about daydreaming, homesickness and separation
'the beads of dew on grass look like pearls, they are like tears streaming from my eye cups '
so every stanza is like an image of nature described, the next one is the wind, then mountains and the mirage and the feelings associated with them
i was thinking what was the most striking thing impressed me about the US, i recalled my sister telling me she wants to cut out all the parks, garden trees, flowers, gazons and bring them home, i mean, the city planning perhaps
Lovely imagery.
"gazon" is a French word. We say "lawn".
America the Beautiful
so the reason the melody sounds like oriental
i thought it depends on the ear structure how you perceive the melody, the H-G's song's melody i can't catch at all and it happens with many other songs, for me
i recalled the Japanese TV program on the languages, they were saying that the reason they are not good at learning English, b/c their ears can't catch the range of fluctuations, the Japanese speech recording they showed looked kinda flat, the plot, i think ours should be pretty similar to that and the English and Chinese were all ups and downs, curves
well, off to the mall
i want to hear her song about him
"and oh-oh-mig-go-0-0-0-0-od
he has this dru-uu--um, mach-i-ii-i-ine
you have just no ide-e-e-e-e-e-a
it only has one setting"
