Random Music Talk CXI: W Sellin' VW To Me?

[Hewson]

That is a very small clip.

Now I'm trying to lyric search songs that might reference all three hinted people. The closest thing I could think of was this little Illuminati theory:

Don Mclean's song American Pie has a lyric about James Dean in it. Madonna covered the song, and Michael Jackson had a song covered in the film American Pie 2.

 

[Hewson]

The clip certainly doesn't sound like American Pie

 

[lazarus]

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire

 

[bono_212]

That was another possibility for James Dean mentions, but there's no connection to the other two.

 

[Hewson]

Madonna's Vogue mentions Jimmy Dean, though she may be referring to sausages, but no conection to Wacko.

 

[nielsgov]

That is a very small clip.

It could be basically any song with a guitar in it.

 

[PhilsFan]

I think the note you hear is a G#.

 

[Danny Boy]

Call me Methuselaz

Wasn't Lazarus old enough? I mean, the guy was raised from the dead.

Why isn't Apple Music "Genius" smart enough not to recommend albums I already own?

The top 5 albums it's recommending are already in my iTunes Match library.

That's the hardest butt fucking contest ever.

Lance's Mom has competed in harder ones.

 

[cobl04]

Because you said you found him overrated.

I'm a fucking idiot and I repent for my sins.

House of Balloons is fucking tremendous.

 

[Hewson]

Lance's Mom has competed in harder ones.

And won.

Anyone want to help me win €2000+? Then please tell me from what song that extremely short fragment in the following link is. The songs listed are all wrong. There's also a tip: Madonna, Michael Jackson and James Dean. I don't think it's possible but maybe someone here has an incredible talent for this kind of stuff. The only thing I can think of is the beginning of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. But it's not exactly the same.

Someone guessed Pride and I could definitely hear that. The last person guessed a Viet Cong song.

VRT MAX

Someone got it right. And it was impossible to guess for you guys as it was a song by a Belgian artist, a good one too.

 

[bono_212]

Oh FFS .

So what was the relevance of the clues?

 

[LemonMelon]

Man, everyone in the world just guessed until they hit that track.

 

[nielsgov]

The song's called Icon.

There's a new one now. Just as difficult.

I'm not playing anymore. Not if it's another song non-english song

 

[nielsgov]

Well the song was sung in English.

August 2015 can fuck off and go straight to Hell.

Spoilered because it's not a bid for sympathy, just a vent of sorts.

Spoiler

I started the month with a very painful lower abdominal issue that has somewhat sorted itself out, but will probably require surgery before the year is over. I had to sleep sitting up for several nights, and I missed seeing Marriages in San Diego. Then Tuesday night I ate something really bad, lost consciousness standing in the bathroom, and woke up to the sound of my head hitting the bathroom wall. I hyperventilated so bad my hands formed into claws and my sweetheart called the paramedics. IWB, do they all wear wings and halos? These guys did. They were so nice and so kind. It was my first ambulance ride. At the ER, I managed to puke up my entire lunch and dinner, so I felt a little better after that. My 2 AM CT scan of my head was clear, so I was home by 3:45 AM. Fucking hell, what a fucked up month.

Music.

 

[cobl04]

Oh god martha! feel better

 

[corianderstem]

Yikes, what the damn hell. Scary. Glad you're better.

 

[LemonMelon]

Jeez, Martha. Praying for you on this, as I do when shit goes down. Surgery is scary stuff, but I hope it's a fairly simple fix, whatever it is.

I'll throw out some of my own medical news: I'm trying to figure out why my stomach is absolutely useless and why I'm having trouble digesting things, so I've been back and forth from the doctor and lab the past few weeks. Blood work came back normal in every possible area. So...yay? A lot of embarrassing and painful tests still yet to come.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Praying for you on this

That's probably not gonna help.

 

[gump]

Ugh, sorry to hear martha. Hang in there and get better soon. You too, LM.

 

[martha]

That's probably not gonna help.

Yes it will.

Thanks, Trav and everyone.

Good luck with this.

Got to do something until your vodka and grocery store champagne gift basket arrives.
