Re: Your Brains, by Jonathan Coulton

Heya Tom, it’s Bob from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?
Thing have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now
I really wish you’d let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains


Listen and read more: here, and all about the new French version here.

"Also, there's not a tactful way to translate lyrics like 'nature's body lotion'"

No, I don't think many languages have a simple way to convey the smoothness of one Mr. Barry White.

Political jingles ain't what they used to be [Jul. 12th, 2006|05:21 pm]

I bet more people would vote if the campaign ads had snappy jingles, like they used to...

Witness the following two videos, and just try to get "Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy!" out of your head:

1960 Kennedy jingle

1972, "Nixon Now"

By the way, what's the secret to embedding YouTube videos in LJ?

An anthem [Jul. 7th, 2006|01:21 pm]

“My Cubicle” (listen here)
Lyrics by: Morning Sidekick
Performed by: Jym Britton
Parody on “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt

Cube FarmMy job is stupid my day’s a bore,
Inside this office from eight to four
Nothin’ ever happens my life is pretty bland,
Pretending that I’m working, pray I don’t get canned.

My Cubicle, My cubicle
It’s One of Sixty two
It’s my small space in a crowded place
Just a six-by-six foot booth
And I hate it that’s the truth

When I give a sigh as the boss walks by,
no one ever talks to me or looks me in the eye.
And I really should work but instead I just sit here and surf the Internet.

In My Cubicle, My cubicle
It doesn’t have a view.
It’s my small space in a crowded place
I sit in solitude.
And sometimes I sit here nude.

Let's move to Finland... [Mar. 13th, 2006|12:23 am]

Someone in [info]linguaphiles found this video, which is really something else. I just wish I knew what they were saying:

A rap video made to support Tarja Halonen's re-election to be president of Finland. Video features ministers Susanna Huovinen and Tarja Filatov, and parliament members Miapetra Kumpula, Heli Paasio, Susanna Rahkonen, Sade Tahvanainen, Satu Taiveaho, Jutta Urpilainen, Pia Viitanen and Jouni Backman. The group calls itself as "Nine for 9 & Jouni". Music composed by Tatu Ferchen, video directed by Osku Pajamaki and styling by Pasi Loijas.

Click here for the Finnish rap goodness.

Dooce is funny [Mar. 2nd, 2006|12:57 pm]
[Tags|, ]

Yes, like a good blog-sheep, I read Dooce (this is outside of my inexplicable penchant for "baby blogs", of which I have read several).  Today, she was talking about how Chuck the dog behaved towards a much smaller visitor dog, described thusly:

And then I thought it was the way Bronx flitted about the living room in a distinctly cat-like fashion, often gliding across the two-inch beam on the back of the couch like a gymnast or a flamboyantly gay ice skater.

The point of the post was how Chuck was (finally) all about protecting little Leta, but that line will make me chuckle for a while.

[Current Music |Mr. T - "Treat Your Mother Right (Treat Her Right)"]

This is what the internet was made for.  It certainly made my night to watch Mr. T rapping about how to treat your mother right.  One of the many quality pieces of edu-tainment produced in 1984, to be sure.  And where would we be without the Wikipedia article on Mr. T that led us to this internet treasure?

I am a cat [Jun. 30th, 2005|10:14 pm]
[Tags|, , ]
[Current Mood | amused, but only by this]

From my non-LJ friend David:

These are lyrics to a song on my ipod by Shonen Knife, some Japanese band:

Sometimes I step into timeless zone
And I lose my way
I don't know where I am
Sometimes I feel like I'm in the Milky Way
And I lose myself
I don't know who I am

I discover whiskers of a cat in a timeless zone
And I put them on my face
In a moment I become a sweet little cat
And I dance on a flying saucer

CHORUS
I am a cat
I discover ears of a cat in the Milky Way
And I put them on my head
In a moment I become a sweet little cat
And I dance on a flying saucer

CHORUS

That's great. Must hear this song.

And now, I have.

The following users are interested in Alejandra... [Sep. 1st, 2003|03:46 am]

[Current Mood | dorky]

[info]pong and I, we waste a lot of time. Really. For instance, I came across someone's LJ userinfo, and saw "rob" listed as an interest. It wasn't on purpose, but it did happen because I was wasting valuable sleeping time, as usual. So I showed him all the people who are interested in him, and he came back with the list for "pong", which he found stranger. I figure pong is a game, and who knows what else, it makes more sense as an interest than a person's name...

He mocked me because no one is interested in aleja. But I didn't cry, because lo and behold- The following users are interested in alejandra... We also think it's funny that cutelilredhead - the cutest thing you'll ever set your eyes on - is interested in len. Hehe.

I don't know why, or how, but damnit, I'm an interest. (Are you interested in me?) I dare you to add me to your list. ;-)

This snippet from a recent Conan O'Brien monologue may not be new, but I just had to post it:

"Earlier today Democratic presidential candidate Richard Gephardt referred to President Bush's foreign policy as 'machismo' and 'arrogant unilateralism.' Bush was furious. He told Gephardt, 'You wouldn't dare say that if I knew what it meant.'"
