Slashdot Mirror

I used to wonder why Sting would brag about his billiard skills (besides just his stalking) in "Every Breath You Take". "I'm a pool hall ace / with every breath you take".

Another long-time favorite in this way is "Benny and the Jets". In that case, though, it was hard to figure out in spots what Elton was singing at all. It turns out the most difficult section translates to "Get about as oiled as a diesel train".

Oh, and let's not forget this gem from Devo's "Whip it": "Tattoo detective" translates to "Try to detect it." Personally, though, I like my version better...

Simpsons of course.

Isn't that good?

No, they sang "Stop, in the name of law."

*me ducks* ;)

http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/therollingstones19.shtml too good to be true...

hmmm,well,what does seal taste like?

Good question as I do not eat human flesh. Plus, I highly doubt anyone will be able to say anything as he still seems to be recording and touring ;)

Those bastards!

Just today, I was looking at http://www.amiright.com/misheard/ and http://www.iusedtobelieve.com/music/misheard_lyric s/misheard_lyrics_s1.php, for misheard lyrics. (Believe it or not, I once heard Celine Dion sing "I'm Alive", and I thought she was saying "When you masturbate...", but it turns out she was trying to say "When you bless the day" :) )
Will these sites (which only offer one-line "corrections" (but are also very amusing to read)) also be forced to shut down / go to jail?

I remember reading on a misheard lyrics website a few years ago, that someone misheard the lyrics to Smoke on the Water as:

"Slow Motion Walter, the fire engine guy."

Will this make finding CCR on P2P harder?

No. Either search for "Creedence" (intentionally misspelled in the name of the band) or search for "Clearwater Revival". Or just look for the bathroom on the right.

No longer use my nose
The kittens run away from me and hide
Weird things between my toes
And people often think something has died.

I climb a lonely hill
On the Boulevard of Bad Hygiene
I frighten CowboyNeal
But he could learn to love it if he tried.

Something has died? Something has died.

Something has died? Something has...

My B.O.'s the only thing that walks beside me.
My B.O. makes strong men think of suiciding.
My Odor kills the flowers and the pine trees.
Smells like, something has died.

Arrgh ack, Arrgh ack, Arrgh ack, *Cough* *Cough*
Arrgh ack, Arrgh ack, Arrgh ack.

I'm walking down the line
diners flee the buffet so that's fine
so I can take my time
And eat onions, cabbage and... *sniff* something has died.

I can shower, fine.
Or I could on go slashdot tonight.
Closed window, pull the blinds.
But the neighbours think something has died.

Something has died? Something has died.

Something has died? Something has...

My B.O.'s clings to surfaces behind me
My B.O.'s beyond a mortal understanding
Sometimes they wish someone would put me in a... um...
Plastic bag, something has died.

Arrgh ack, Arrgh ack, Arrgh ack, *Cough* *Cough*
Arrgh ack, Arrgh ack, Arrgh ack.

Something has died? Something has...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Bad Hygiene
City evacuates
in it's pants and something has died.

My B.O. is worse than a Bush e-con-omy.
My B.O. gets UN weapons inspectors antsy.
My Odor could be casus beli if they could find me.
I think, Something has died.

have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
I have I've been hunted and wanted in the exterminated sense.
Seismic mines for my jedi mind. Look at the times. Sick is the mind of the sentator that's behind
all this conflict destructive. enough is too much as planets explodin'. Tempers flaring with Windu.
Just blow him off and keep goin' not taking nothin from no-one.
Giving help long after not breathin'.
keep kickin ass in the morning, an' taking names in the evening
leavingm with a taste as sour as Dagobah in their mouth.
See they can trigger me but they can never figure me out look at me now, I betya probably sick of me now.
Aint you Yoda? Ima make you look so ridiculous now

I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.

Verse 2
you got a skeleton in a cave I don't know if anyone knows it.
But before they throw my robes out of an airlock and close it
I'ma expose it.
I'll take you back a hundred years or three before I ever had an Artoo-Dee
Too. met this slave boy, must have been a few cycles old.
Owned by Watto who didn't want him sold.
He's the shit. I mean that boy could really fly.
I guess that's because he's the livin' breathin force that's why.
I look at Anni and I couldn't picture leaving his side.
Even if he was full of fear, I'd grit my teeth and I'd try
to make it work with him at least for Qui-gon's sake.
Maybe I made some mistakes, but I'm only human. And I'm jedi enough to try to will them away.
What I did was reckless, no doubt that it was dumb.
But the smartest shit I ever did was learn to chop off arms. cuz he'd a killed us.
Shit, he would have shot Luke an me both. It's my life, far far away, a long long time ago.

I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.

Verse 3
now I would never diss my own master
just to get some recognition, maybe Qui-gon might,
because he wouldn't listen and he was always dissin'.
But put yourself in my position.
Just try to envision witnessin' yo master struggle
with simple levitation, bitchin' that "against us the force is"
and our archives have somethin' missin'.
Goin' through all the star systems, victim of force-unbalanced syndrome.
My whole life I was made to believe that I was strong when I wasn't. Until I grew up,
now I blew up.
It makes you sick to your stomach.
Doesn't it?
wasn't that the reason you made that knighthood for me, Da?
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, Da? Utinni!
You're gettin older and it's cold when you're squattin'.
An Luke's gettin up so quick, he's gonna go,
you can't hold him. And Anni's getting so big now,
you should see him, he's a sith lord.
But you never see him. He won't even be at your funeral.
See what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong. Go disappear. Keep telling yourself that you was master here.
But how dare you try to blame me for what you helped to set up. E chu ta!
I hope you get eaten by the Sarlac for that. Remember when Darth Maul died and you sorta wished it was me?
Well, guess what, I AM dead - more powerful than you could forsee!

I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I said, I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.
I'm sorry Yoda.
I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry but tonight I'm training Skywalker.

I been waiting so long for this game that I can start singing the song or watch the music video instead.

Oh great now I can enjoy idiots on cel phones "sharing" fine Fox programming while I'm trying to enjoy my dinner in a restaurant.

As if their pointless yattering conversations weren't enough....

"That NPR and PBS aren't is the fault of the conservatives who seem hell bent on funding idiots like Rupert Murdoch and their "news.""

Actually, I know a few conservatives that call Fox News "Liberal". Most of the conservatives don't fund Rupert Murdoch, they fund "Pat Robertson and the Christian Coalition" and their idiotic neo-conservative CBN news.

For those who don't know who the Christian Coalition is, they are a group of Holier-than-thou rich chauvinistic white supremacist males that is an offshoot of the Republican Party. They are similar to the Libertarian Party, believe in "Dog-Eat-Dog/Survival-of-the-fittest" except they claim that the reason why they stand behind scripture in the bible like "If you don't work, you don't eat." and they believe if you can't work, well, piss on you. Their motto is "If you're poor, then you're nothing more than an unamerican child of Satan that should be squashed and sent back to hell.

This is the same type of people that claim that Rock and Roll is evil because a song by CCR said "Devil's on the loose*" but yet Charlie Daniels band has the song "Devil went down to Georgia" but no fuss about that song. Go Figure.

remember what Bush said before the election, he said "There ought to be limits to freedom" when talking about parodies of his site. That proves he will censon just about anything that goes against anything the no-heart conservatives have to say. Whether it has cursing and porn or not.

* do a page search for "evils of Rock & Roll"

P.S. I am a Moderate Independant christian, it's just that Robertson & Falwell don't represent me.

The correct lyrics are: "spill the wine, take that pearl."

On the flip side.

I think having a high-quality (if not technically CD quality) pre-ripped track, delivered by (normally) zippy servers with good bandwidth, and reasonable DRM is enough added-value to open the gap up again.

Until an iTMS purchased album comes with a lyric sheet, authoritative lyrics (as opposed to potentially misheard lyrics) are worth money to some people. Other people do not yet have a CD recorder. For them; the first CD purchased and recorded through this system would cost $10 for the recordings plus $50 for the CD recorder including shipping; amortizing this is left as an exercise.

Has anyone written a Napster-inspired version of American Pie? Surely someone must have.. Ah yes, here it is Napster Pie..

It's not like splicing is anything new - hell we've been making corn that poisons butterflys for a while now - it's not new. Why is this news? What is the nature of the chromosome, is that what makes it so special? What does it do? Anything?
