Oct. 18th, 2006 12:03 pmTwo fun tracks from today's adventures in streamed internet radio.
The Format "Tie the Rope"
Okay, the chorus is "Just tie the rope/ Oh and kick the chair/ Just leave me hanging there, Gasping for air/ Yeah dont mind me three feet from the ceiling". But. Sonically, it's closer to an inoffensive pop-punk indie-thing type of cute little love song than a mopey man + acoustic guitar weeping about suicide. I couldn't find the track to stream it, but based on the number of places that had the lyrics for me to look up, it shouldn't be that hard to download it somewhere. It was pretty cute, in the way that skull-and-crossbones bunny logos are cute.
Rammstein "Barbie Girl" (Aqua cover).
I've used radioblogclub to (hopefully) embed the file in this post, so you can all hear it. How to describe... Well, it's Rammstein doing "Barbie Girl", what more do you need? It's also probably worse than you think. I was hoping it would be a heavy, industrial version of a novelty pop song. Alas, it was not to be. It sounds like a grouchy German is doing his best Swedish Chef voice at back-alley karaoke. The music is the same and the original, just with this crazy mumbling man ranting in a foreign language. 100% creepy.
( Listen to the wacky )
