One Score and Three Years Ago Today...

[LemonMelon]

Your tide
Your tide is turning
In this town
In this town

I walk through
Your city street lights
Looks torn down
In your city street lights

In this town
In this town, we're waiting
In this town
In this town

You
I'm waiting for you
You
You set my desire
I trip through your wires

In this town
The tide is turning
In this town
In this town

In this town
Begin the rebuilding
In this town
In this town

In this town
I see her waiting
In this town
In this town

In this town
I see her holding...town...
In this town
Know right from wrong

In this town
I see her waiting
You're waiting for
What are you waiting for?

In this town
Sisters and brothers
In this town
In this town

In this town
Your tide is turning
In this town
In this town

Nice job, Traviud.

 

[LemonMelon]

Oh, also, I'm doing a cover of 1986 Trip for you guys and posting it in here. Not Womanwish though. I have no idea what the fuck is happening in that one.

As promised:

YouTube - U2 - Trip Through Your Wires cover (Inthistowntastic Mix)

 

[bono_212]

That was..what's the word I'm looking for here?.....INTHISTOWNTASTIC.

 

[RedRocksU2]

[bono_212]

[RedRocksU2]

[Alisaura]

I need to watch those videos again...

Bonnie and Reggo...

 

[Alisaura]

LM, I challenge you to transcribe the lyrics to Womanfish.


Edit: That cover was superb.

Hangman hang
Hangman hang for me
Hangman hang
Hang from your own tree

Hangman sleep
Hangman sleeping
Hangman hang
Hangman hang for me

One horse town
Warm wind coming down
One horse town
The breeze will come and blow him down

One thin man
One thin tin can man
One thin man
The breeze will come and blow him down

Love...is all you need is
Love is all...
Love...is all you need is
Love is all...

Love...is all you need is
Love is all...
Love...is all you need is
Love is all...

Hangman hang
Hangman hang for me
Hangman hang
Hang from your own tree

One horse town
Breeze will blow him down
One horse town
AUHUHHHGGOHHHOOOO!!!

Edit: That cover was superb.

Why, thank you.

 

[Alisaura]

I was going to say, all I got from that was indistinct mumbling, but...

AUHUHHHGGOHHHOOOO!!!

Win!


By the way, I decided that's not Adam. It's Adam's Evil Twin, with the Black 'Fro of DOOOOOOOM.

Wonderful effort, even though it excludes the sixty-seven WOOOS and AHOAORUGHS scattered throughout, as well as that weird NEWWYAOOOOOORRGHHHH bit at the end of the second chorus.

And the cover is magnifico.

 

[Varitek]

ElMel needs to win Interference Poster of the Month for the video and lyrics in this thread.

 

[Rosebud]

LM, you win.



The cover is a feat of artistic genius.

 

[The Sad Punk]

ElMel needs to win Interference Poster of the Month for the video and lyrics in this thread.

At the very least, his efforts have earned him Most Creatively Inthistowntastic Poster Of 2009.

Wear it with pride, son.

 

[LemonMelon]

Thanks, all.

Remember, Inthistown comes but once a year. Cherish it.

 

[kassandra]

This thread is hilarious!

 

[The Sad Punk]

So, what did everyone do for their important celebrations?

 

[elevation85]

Just finding out about this particular performance was enough of a celebration for me

LemonMelon. Fanatastic cover-- complete with the intro. Cheers! *hic*

 

[MMP]

Wow, cool... already download mp3s of these babys to my pc.
Woman Fish is cool...
About TTYW... I really prefer what's on JT

 

[elevation85]

mp3s? how did you manage that?

 

[MMP]

I have a program that extracts audio from videos on youtube. Really useful.
The name is "Free YouTube to Mp3 Converter"

 

[elevation85]

Thanks I'll check it out!

 

[blueeyedgirl]

So, what did everyone do for their important celebrations?

I went to the pub last night. It was only fitting.

HAHAHAHA, great stuff...guitar solo was...so...

INTHISTOWNTASIC!









So, how are people celebrating the day after "In This Town"? I'M TO HUNGOVER TO DO ANYTHING!

 

[bono_212]

I'm pretty hungover yes. But it was inthistowntasticly hung over.

 

[OrARoundabout]

Best fucking hangover I've ever had

 

[Axver]

So, what did everyone do for their important celebrations?

Well, you already know, but so that everybody else can share in the essay that has taken inthistowntasticism TO THA WOOOUUUURRRRLLLLDD: U2gigs.com - 23 years in this town

 

[U2DMfan]

[FACT] Womanfish would be the best song released by U2 this decade [/FACT]

Fuck all the haters.

 

[Varitek]

Nice one on u2gigs, Axver
