ok, we've probably had these before..but there's a twist. Instead of giving the actual lyrics (I mean, who can't google), how about we give a variation on it? Such as: I arrived from a land where crocodiles are plentiful... would be "land down under". Or.. He was from a previous time, long time ago, in her life, and had quite an over active memory over what their mutual experiences are. He was trying to remember what happened, but she didn't remember it. She chuckled over what he said, but soon he realized he was remembering something that didn't take place. what a buffoon! That'd be "what a fool believes". I don't have one right now, I just blew my wad over the two samples i gave. Anyone have one or is this just going to be a BGD type thread?
I just don't understand all your NERD games and internet jokes! While I'm at it......I know what lol means, but what the fuck is lolz?
That's when Rock & Roll died, when Reagan took over. Actually, it was 4 years earlier when disco took over. I'm going back, not forward. I thought of the pro-drug hit songs, the lead actor in "South Pacific" singing to Mitzi Gaynor about how he killed a man in Europe so he's in self-exile in Bali Hai, the Busby Berkeley movie "They Made me a Criminal"...that wasn't a musical. Les Miserables had nothing. Everything died in the 80s.
Well then it's gotta be NWA... Fuck tha Police... --- I dig the general idea behind the premise of the thread, but there's got to be some better way to go about it, because a lot of great songs don't have a consistent narrative. It'd be cool to have a music guessing game where people posted actual music, and posters weren't able to Google lyrics or Shazam songs, but that's pretty much impossible. --- Until anyone can brainstorm something better though, I like this idea, and I'll translate the gist of a song that most people think is a fun and uplifting but actually has a darker meaning - "I'm tired of relying on my drug dealer. He beats me up and steals my shit, so I've got to hide my few valuables. I'll stop using drugs tomorrow. I've got to hit the streets as a hooker, but without my hooker costume, I'm too aware of the reality of my bleak life. Even though I'm hooking it, I have unrealistic dreams of a future far away from here, when I get my money right. I'll stop using drugs tomorrow. I'm deeply depressed about my current situation as a intravenous drug user, so I'll try to shoot up again, but I can't find a capable vein, because I've got abscesses that are preventing me from finding direct access to my veins. Etc." ^^^ If anyone gets that one, Repped. A clue is that it's a semi-feel good song from 90's alt era, but it's only a "semi" feel good song, because even though the lyrics appear to be uplifting, and the melody suggests the same, it's actually an unexpectedly dark hit song.
