I was tempted to post “Hard to Handle” or “Jealous Again,” but I waited until now. I still think these guys are just good at rocking out when they do it.
Just love how this track sounds.
Kill You - Eminem
I said you don’t
Wanna fuck with Shady
('Cause why?)
‘Cause Shady, will fuckin’ kill you
(Ah-haha)
For some reason, there’s a Japanese version of this song
Very random to create a Japanese lyric version. Don’t know of any other songs Sixpence None The Richer recorded in Japanese. Then again that’s because I don’t know any other songs from Sixpence None The Richer.
That’s because their only other mainstream “hit” was a bad cover of “There She Goes” by The Las. They’re ostensibly a Christian band.
Anyway.
Also, i still can’t believe i forgot to post Hong Kong Garden on H day. argh.
Damn, I knew I missed getting “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” in there.
Called
To see
If your back
Was still aligned
And your sheets
Were growing grass
Out of the corners of your bed
K = KV626, the Köchel catalogue number for Mozart’s Requiem.
some favorite bits are:
–Kyrie Eleison (“lord have mercy”)
–Dies Irae (“day of wrath”)
–Rex Tremendae (rex tremendae majestatis = “king of tremendous majesty, just tremendous, a tremendous king”)
–Lacrimosa (“weeping” or “mournful”); it’s true that Mozart might have actually died after composing the first eight bars of this section (his handwriting stops at the 26:43 mark).
and for @smrk4’s sake let’s give Amadeus a nod here:
–the scene where Mozart is composing the Requiem while Salieri takes dictation
–excerpt from the scene where smrk’s avatar is from
…and while this last scene is believable (Mozart 100% could’ve played a march like that immediately by ear and then riffed on it), we know it never happened if only because the melody they use isn’t Salieri’s, it’s a Mozart original (“Non piu andrai” from Figaro). In other words the music department took a tune of Mozart’s and bruised it up a little to pretend it was something Salieri wrote).
Grazie, Signore
Hmm, don’t really have anything necessary left on my list, but, uh, here’s a random 80s single that I don’t think is much noticed.
Never heard this before but enjoyed it.
