What song are you listening to right now?

[name not needed]

Rammstein - Reise, Reise

Auch auf den Wellen wird gefochten
Wo Fisch und Fleisch zur See geflochten
Der eine sticht die Lanz' im Heer
Der andere wirft sie in das Meer

Ahoi

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Jeder tut's auf seine Weise
Der eine stößt den Speer zum Mann
Der andere zum Fische dann

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Blute steckt ein Speer
Bluten leise in das Meer

Die Lanze muss im Fleisch ertrinken
Fisch und Mann zur Tiefe sinken
Wo die schwarze Seele wohnt
ist kein Licht am Horizont

Ahoi

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Jeder tut's auf seine Weise
Der eine stößt den Speer zum Mann
Der andere zum Fische dann

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Blute steckt ein Speer
Bluten leise in das Meer

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Herzen steckt ein Speer
Bluten sich am Ufer leer

1. Melting ice and snow

a-b-c
der Katze schlaff in der Schnee
Der Schnee gang weg
Der Ketze schlaff in der Reg.

I'm not saying it's grammatically correct, but it's an old rhyme my great grandfather told my grandmother when she was a little girl. His father came from a little town in Sachsen in 1854.

[Bzzzz]

3. Ants Marching...

A mattress salesman turned us onto Rammstein a few years ago. :smoke:

[ZombieNixon]

2. A song I wrote in Apple's GarageBand for a video game I'm making.

It's completely synthesized, tho' it sounds real. It's got sort of a "national anthem" feel to it. I'm particularly proud of the bagpipe track I synthesized from scratch.

[FarLeftRage]

4. A most haunting tune...

Julia

Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia.
Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering,
Glimmering,
In the sun.
Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia.
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Hum hum hum hum… calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia.

[BAPhill]

12. Just heard a cover of 'Beautiful Boy' on the radio...

I had to say to my wife, "why would anyone
want to remake such a personal song."

[FarLeftRage]

16. That's a good question... why?

Do you know who it was?

[eyepaddle]

5. Crystal Planet

Joe Satriani--instrumental

[asthmaticeog]

6. Do earworms count?

I don't have any playback devices on right now, but my brain is playing "The Finest Drops" by Wire.

[NightTrain]

7. Miriam Makeba's "Pata Pata" (1967).

Only the second record from South Africa to make the U.S. pop charts. (The first was "Lovely Lies" by the Manhattan Brothers in 1956.)

[Lizzie Borden]

8. Susie-Q

Credence Clearwater Revival.

11. Placebo • I Do

I wanna be much more like you
Your effortlessly graceful scene
That drips from every pore of you
Where logic cannot intervene
I wanna take a bath with you
And wash the chaos from my skin
I wanna fall in love with you
So how do we begin ?

I wanna be a girl like you
The way you swing your hips in jeans
I wanna wear my face like you
Shiseido MAC and Maybelline
I wanna paint the town with you
And tickle you until you scream
I wanna fall in love with you

I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do

I wanna be much more like you
The way your smile lights up the room
I'll kick back as men flirt with you
Till jealously I'll stay in you
This confidence in me and you
This hope that you and I will bloom
I wanna fall in love with you

I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do

The question is do you ?

[jpgray]

13. The Millennium - "To Claudia on Thursday"

Shitty lyrics, sappy / cheesy as hell production, but goddam that is one solid piece of pop songwriting.

[KDLarsen]

14. An official recording from Eurockéennes de Belfort 1998

.. put up by www.underworldlive.com & downloaded by me. I still find "Dark Train" so hypnotic.

Ride the train.. Ride the train.. Ride the train..

[Placebo]

15. Placebo • Twenty Years

There are twenty years to go
Twenty ways to know
Who'll wear
Who'll wear the hat

There are twenty years to go
The best of all I hope
Enjoy the ride
The medicine show

Thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

There are twenty years to go
The faithful and the low
The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone

There are twenty years to go
The punch-drunk and the blow
The worst of starts, the mercy part, the foam

Thems the breaks
Before we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

Thems the breaks
Before we designer fakes
But it's you I take cos you're the truth, not I

There are twenty years to go
A golden age I know
But all will pass and end too fast you know

There are twenty years to go
And many friends I hope
Though some may hold the rose
Some hold the rope

That's the end - and that's the start of it
That's the whole - and that's the part of it
That's the high - and that's the heart of it
That's the long - and that's the short of it
That's the best - and that's the test in it
That's the doubt - the doubt, the trust in it
That's the sight - and that's the sound of it
That's the gift - and that's the trick in it

You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I

You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I

[Kellanved]

17. I see

My problem with that song (actually problem isn't the real word - it certainly is intended) is that "Reise Reise!" is the wake-up call in the German Navy and the German Marines.

[koneko]

18. hee hee

'Strip' by Adam Ant

[jonnyblitz]

19. I like Sonne by Rammstein.

I am listening to slumber by bad religion as I type this.

[Placebo]

20. Placebo • Commercial For Levi

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's always bruised and broken
Sleep may be the enemy
But so is another line
It's a remedy
You should take more time

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's showers always golden
Spunk and bestiality well it's an Assisi lie
It's ahead of me, you should close your fly

I understand the fascination
The dream that comes alive at night
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die
Please don't die

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's always bruised and broken
Drunk on immorality, valium and cherry wine
Coke and ecstasy, you're gonna blow your mind

I understand the fascination
I've even been there once or twice or more
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die
Please don't die
Please don't die
Please don't die
Please don't die

24. Jane's Addiction - Just Because

If I were you
I'd better watch out
When was the last time
You did anything
Not for me
Or anyone else

Just because
Just because

Yeah
Oh, you really should have known
hey you
You really should have known

Just because
Just because

You've got the most
Ahh, but nobody loves you
Nobody has to

Just because

You
You really should have known
Ohh, you
I think you really should have known

Just because
Just because

Oh yeah
Oh, you better watch out

When we first met
And we passed around gifts
That was a long time, ago
And you're feeling fit

Yeah you
Oh, you really should have known
Yeah you
Oh, you really should have known

Just because
Just because
Just because

Oh yeah
Oh, you better watch out

25. Green Day - Minority

I want to be the minority
I don’t need your authority
Down with the moral majority
’cause I want to be the minority

I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know

I want to be the minority
I don’t need your authority
Down with the moral majority
’cause I want to be the minority

Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know

One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
For crying out loud she screamed unto me
A free for all
Fuck ’em all
You are your own sight

I want to be the minority
I don’t need your authority
Down with the moral majority
’cause I want to be the minority

26. 08:53 pm Frontier Psychiatrist:::by:::The Avalanches

Frontier psychiatrist

Is dexter ill, is dexter ill, is dexter ill
Is dexter ill today, mr kirk, dexter’s in school
I’m afraid he’s not, miss fishborne
Dexter’s truancy problem is way out of hand
The baltimore county school board have decided to expel
Dexter from the entire public school system

Oh mr kirk, I’m as upset as you to learn of dexter’s truancy
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I’m afraid expulsion is the only answer
It’s the opinion of the entire staff that dexter is criminally insane

That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic,
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch! what does that mean?
You’re a nut! you’re crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? that boy needs therapy
I’m gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let’s have it to you
On the count of three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth

Avalanches is above, business continues below
Did I ever tell you the story about
Cowboys! bit , bit bitches and the indians and, fron, frontier psychiatrist
I... I felt strangely hypnotised
I was in another world, a world of 20.000 girls
And milk! rectangles, to an optometrist, the man with the golden eyeball
And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin
I promise my girlfriend i’d... the violin, violin, violin ...

Frontier psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier

That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch, what does that mean?
You’re a nut! you’re crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? that boy needs therapy
I’m gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let’s have a tune
Now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth

Frontier psychiatrist

Can you think of anything else that talks, other than a person?
Uh ohh... uh oh, a bird! yeah!
Sometimes a parrot talks
Ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Yes, some birds are funny when they talk
Can you think of anything else
A record, record, record !

32. Right now.. I'm listening to "Running Down A Dream" Tom Petty.

It was a beautiful day, sun beat down.
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees went by, Me and Del were singing
Little Runaway, I was flyin'

Running down a dream
Never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good, like anything was possible
Hit the cruise control, rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
I was always cold, no sunshine

Running down a dream
Never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

As I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down, to make some time
There's somethin' good, waiting down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

Running down a dream
Never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
