An alternate (glass half full) viewpoint on the Spaniards' talking (and talking)

[teebee]

OK, how's this for a hypothesis:

These guys have a video camera and basically are sitting outside knowing that U2's in the house.

Then, they fall ass-backwards into taping the entire CD. One of the guys is smart enough to know this is new music, and gets them to start recording quickly. They've got to get positioned properly and are excited.

My guess is that when (not if, but when) the other recordings are released, you'll hear less talking. When turning the recording into mp3s, they probably also had to turn the volume way up which would capture any ambient noise around the camera itself.

Anyway, my guess is that by week's end you'll hear 8 more of these. If you want to, that is!

i'm actually so impressed with the talking that i'm holding out hopes for a spanish spoken words album.

Does anyone know what there saying?

In the first part: "i'd like to move closer, but that fat guy is looking at us", "this recording is going to be a shit" "it's this the song 'don't you' right?"... in the second sample: "it sounds good, remains me like the outtakes", "it has a raw sound, it looks like it's not mixed".

also i believe one of them is saying "hey, i have an idea, let's go steal a copy of the cd so that u2 can get free advertising!"

I had been wondering what the crap they were on about! Thanks, and anyone else who speaks Spanish feel free to add more.

I'm with mikal on this. Those spanish dudes talking easily beats U2's entire catalog. It's so impromtu ... spontaneous ... can't you imagine their words in a big stadium! Awesome!

i thought that one of the last lines that one of the guy says is: muy bien, si? or somehting like that

 

[Numb1075]

think U2 is a little late on the "Latino Mania" that swept America 4 years ago w/ Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, and J-Lo.....

 

[Numb1075]

i actually heard one of the guys saying "shake your bon bons, shake your bon bons"

Is the 'fat guy' looking at them Paul McGuinness?

Mikal -- I love your idea, briing on the spanish-language spoken word album NOW!
