Chop Suey Jazz Cover

entr0py says...

The thing about that song is that the lyrics are deliberately asinine, so when you strip away the interpretation, you're just left with something horrible. She's talented, that's just an exceedingly bad choice of cover that time.

We Didn't Start The Fire (Historically Accurate Almanac)

drradon says...

One anomaly in this: I don't know what the song writer's intent was, but the video shows an artillery shot in association with Davy Crockett . Although there was a nuclear armed "Davy Crockett" artillery round during the 1960's, the context in the lyrics suggests Davy Crockett of the coonskin cap fame (played by Fess Parker in the mid-50's TV series) who was (wildly) popular at about the same time as Peter Pan (played by Mary Martin) was a big hit - and the only World Series win (1955) by the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Mother - Amanda Palmer and Jherek Bischoff

moonsammy says...

I'm a significant fan of The Wall, and certainly dig Amanda Palmer (though much more casually), but I'm pretty confused by this. The lyrics discuss an overly controlling and fear-propagating mother, while the images are largely implying a freeing, uplifting maternal force. But what appears to be the central character representing that maternal force is also saying the controlling mother's lines, while the central character of the malignant / controlling force is literally suckling at her tit. Well-made and gripping certainly, and I like the cover, but the message seems jumbled.

Also, NSFW flag?

Listening to Rage Against The Machine for the first time

ChaosEngine says...

That album is a classic and more relevant today than the day it was released.

But dude... I love that you love this, and I feel wrong telling you how to react, but if you’re gonna listen to this: get mad. Appreciation of the music, the lyrics is great, but get fucking mad. This album should be a historical footnote: “shit, wasn’t it awful when things where that fucked up in the 90s”. Instead, things are somehow worse.

Hey Ya! - Walk off the Earth cover

Apocalypse Now Now

Lukio says...

Anyone can help me out what the song at the end is? I barely can make out the lyrics because of the "inner monologue"... nice short film none the less!

A Presidential Message from George Washington (Alec Baldwin)

Foo Fighters - Run

bamdrew says...

lyrics, weirdness, and general rocking of this reminded me of the much heavier song by Liars called 'Plaster Casts of Everything' - https://youtu.be/jhGl-lQFZSs - ... chorus : "I wanna run away, I wanna bring you too, I wanna run away, I wanna bring you too..."

"El Estuche" by Aterciopelados

Is this Trump's theme song or what?

vil says...

They play this on TV? Awesome.

It used to be played by the radio station I worked for in the early 90s, until some Americans working in the company noticed, and explained the lyrics to the boss.

How Disney uses Language in Animated Films

vil says...

Disney are actually using the music and the lyrics to have the desired specific emotional effect on their musically and geographically poorly informed audience. Specific languages are present not for accuracy or making sense, purely for cinematic effect. It is much easier to use a real language and real obscure culture references than trying to come up with something original, like Klingon. Correct use of a specific language or musical reference is probably just an inside joke. Everything Disney does is cultural appropriation, that is their day job. They dont do documentaries, they are into compiled rehashed fairytales. If that one song was PC it was probably done that way on purpose, decided by Disneys equal opportunities department. A proper Inuit movie would have to be shot from an Inuit script with an Inuit score drawn by real Inuit men on Inuit snow in the only possible way you can draw while your fingers are freezing.
