Song Frenzy

My girlfriend thinks I'm insane. But I can't get over this song. I don't think I've ever listened to anything so many times in 48 hours. Twice on the way to school today. Twice on the way home. Once on the way to dinner. Once back. And when I post it here, it's gonna have to be played to make sure it works properly.

I don't know why I like it. It's the official song of World Cup 2010 (fuuuuuuck yeah), so maybe that's it. Football and global camaraderie kinda give me chills anyway.

It's also that classic chord progression - used by many songs - but it stands out here. The lyrics are bombastic and cheesy, and it has that subtle undertone of Disney-fied (Rachael said it sounded like the Lion King soundtrack) "world" music. Like, just exotic enough to be cool, but totally safe for housewives. Like Slumdog Millionaire.

Regardless, I can't get it out of my head, and it was giving me major, major chills on my way to school today.


By the way, this is the World Cup remix, the original can be heard here.

Suddenly an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof. He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.

No 211 - Moulin Rouge! Director - Baz Luhrmann I remember very vividly when I first saw this film. I was in sixth form when it came out, and was a student of 'Theatre Studies', so there was naturally a lot of talk about this overtly theatrical piece. However, I was not convinced that I would enjoy it, it looked overtly soppy, a chicks film. Finally I was convinced to go and see it (Tom Done, who was in the year above and who was utterly terrifying, though who is now a good friend, won me over by stating the line I have used as a title. Surely a film MUST be good if it features unconscious Argentinians and cross dressing dwarfs!). So one evening I went to the Regent cinema in Wantage ( now shut down ) with my best friends Hanna and Richard . The film completely blew me away, and is the only film that has managed to firmly grab my attention in the first second, as the curtains open and the conductor arrives to play the 20th Century Fox theme. It uses the production company's

.408 CheyTac Fredo Viola Aug 29, 10:51 AM This is a real bummer to me. I pride myself on making as little an impact on the environment as I can, but make my living using computers to make music... and I use all Apple products... so I'm feeling really guilty about this right now. 408 CheyTac final.jpg appleguy123 Apr 22, 10:32 PM Because it is the third longest example of drift on PRSI (for now) and since appleguy123 started that one, of course he wants it to continue. Caught! :D Knowing how the PRSI works one naive bump could help me achieve the record. Maadi-Griffin 50BMG Pistol Draythor Apr 13, 04:33 PM GGJstudios Thanks, man.
