candyman Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 This one? That is why I fear to travel to India...not because of violence...but because of massive roving gangs of dancers huffing helium...
LuluVox Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 This one? Yes, thanks. I fixed the link in my original post...I think. Wow, LuluVox is still alive? :O Seems like it!
Destroit Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Thanks to ye olde request list, I have heard it without fail EVERY SINGLE WEEK for how many years now? You can ONLY imagine how I feel. I've wanted to write on the request sheet every week for the DJs to stop taking shitty requests from people, but I have a feeling my plan would fail. It's 'cause I feel sorry for both the DJs and the actual non-posers, but like I said, good tastes are definately outnumbered by preppy-girls in Hot Topic clothing now at CC...ah well. Punk has been dead for years, looks like gothic/industrial is beginning to follow suit...

Punk will never be pulled out of its hole again! If people can see you and know that you exist...you are doing it wrong...
pomba gira Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Handy translation site but could the actual lyrics really be better than "emo bear rights" and "fluff is aroused" ? The images of dust bunnies creeping over the foot of the bed with evil lust in their hearts is priceless.

No, the real lyrics are a buzz killer...Rock the Casbah is a great example of this...its one of the few political songs that isn't all bitchy about it like today...but everyone has a different set of words to go with the song which will never cease to bust my gut when I hear them...I mean some of these people are serious, they actually think that they know the real lyrics!

Well, enlighten us then, oh multi-linguistic master.
TheOsakaKoneko Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 EMO BEAR RIGHTS! Oh my god I almost fell out of my chair on that one. :D:D:D I'm so tempted to request And One - Pants Off Men tonight...KAT! I'll make sure you're DJing at the time! Don't worry! I know how much you love to play it... XDXD
candyman Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Well, enlighten us then, oh multi-linguistic master. VERY crude, literal translation. Tank Man Your steps are beautiful - we dance seeing again We look so strong - everyone dance as I Like a legend weak legs stop - tank man continue the celebration we are the energy - this strength never disappears Computer, machine, tank man - go straightforward - go straightforward computer, machine, tank man - go straightforward - go quickly We fight for the triumphant advance - never enough tank men wars wars are to dance there - our liberty is so close Computer, machine, tank man - go straightforward - go straightforward computer, machine, tank man - go straightforward - go quickly Here are (always ready) are ready (always ready) are ready ready (always ready) comes the tankman (machine) (computer, machine) Our bodies are so hot - flickering fire, proud sweat lives this rhythm out - go straight ahead and go quickly Computer, machine, tank man - go straightforward - go straightforward computer, machine, tank man - go straightforward - go quickly And Rock the Casbah... Now the king told the boogie men You have to let that raga drop The oil down the desert way Has been shakin to the top The sheik he drove his cadillac He went a cruisnin down the ville The muezzin was a standing On the radiator grille Chorus The shareef dont like it Rockin the casbah Rock the casbah The shareef dont like it Rockin the casbah Rock the casbah By order of the prophet We ban that boogie sound Degenerate the faithful With that crazy casbah sound But the bedouin they brought out The electric camel drum The local guitar picker Got his guitar picking thumb As soon as the shareef Had cleared the square They began to wail Chorus Now over at the temple Oh! they really pack em in The in crowd say its cool To dig this chanting thing But as the wind changed direction The temple band took five The crowd caught a wiff Of that crazy casbah jive Chorus The king called up his jet fighters He said you better earn your pay Drop your bombs between the minarets Down the casbah way As soon as the shareef was Chauffeured outta there The jet pilots tuned to The cockpit radio blare As soon as the shareef was Outta their hair The jet pilots wailed Chorus He thinks its not kosher Fundamentally he cant take it. You know he really hates it. See...no that hard...shit now the songs aren't as funny anymore...ah I still have Pearl Jam where even Eddie Vedder doesn't know what he is saying...
candyman Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Yeah, ain't freetranslation.com grand? No idea...Internet Explorere cannot find it...
TheOsakaKoneko Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 No idea...Internet Explorere cannot find it... Using ie was your first mistake... But computer translations are usually kinda made of lose anyway. Then again...I've only seen their results for things like Japanese (when my students would cheat and use them, etc). They may be better for languages that are more closely related to English.

Yet another classic mental picture I've been afforded, compliments of someone else's twisted imagination.

They do not take into account many of the dialects...people used to use that in class all the time for German...but Latin was a different story I love my IE....keeps me wondering what stupid problem will happen next
