Hi everybody. OK, since comparatively very few people speak Spanish in these forums, I think I can post this (mods, please let me know If I should better delete it). Ten days ago, a "band" called "Larva Fecal" ("Fecal Larva") uploaded this video to YouTube. In that lapse of time, it's been watched 60762 times, added to favorites 105 times and it's been honored as the most viewed, most discussed and top favorite video in this month for the "Music-Spanish" category. COME ON!! That "song" is called "I'm going to f**k you in the a**", but the words' order (for those of you who have some Spanish language knowledge) is altered using a figure of speech called "hyperbaton". And those are the whole lyrics! (at 1:13, the "singer" says something like "doggy style" and "anal sex"). I'm not going to say that I haven't laughed seeing those guys (even posted a comment explaining the meaning to an Hungarian guy), but I simply can't believe that such garbage deserves so much recognition. And they've uploaded other "works of art" which are lyrically "richer", but revolving around the same stuff.
This thread got me thinking of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDOfeit53vk&mode=related&search= This song is apparently a joke, but pretty hilarious anyway, at least for people understanding some Swedish. I have no clue how it passed to the Swedish finals in the Eurovision Song Contest (ok, agreed the level is not that high anymore).... The thing with this song is that when the first words in the title of the song (Oh när ni = Oh when you) is pronounced or sung, it sounds like the word "onani" (= masturbation). So the title is "Oh, when you take things in your own hands" (used in the meaning take charge of things), but the listener hear "Masturbation - take things in your own hands". The whole song is filled with ambiguous lyrics, too. I LMFAO'ed when I heard it the first time anyway. Oh, forgot to mention that the song is singed by a group consisting of drag queens only...
ROFLMAO!!! The funny thing is... If they sang in a language that I wouldn't be able to understand, I would take this as semi serious... just can't understand the whole "lol-metal" thing, and all that people screaming...
I can explain it in two words. Freak show. I really don't think people are watching because of the talent. At least I hope not. Incidentally, I heard that the singer was a reject for the Geico caveman commercials.
it's not really new......there's plenty of bands (such as "Anal Blast", perhaps more popular because some of their members left to join/form slipknot) that started a movement of metal calling themselves "porno metal." There's plenty of dirty Sh!t out there but as far as I'm concerned, it's only trash if there isn't satisfying musical content included. otherwise, it's not something i look upon very proudly is all.
I'm still disappointed that Tom Green's The Bum Bum Song wasn't given the same artistic recognition as Beethoven's 5th, Miles Davis's Bitches Brew, or The Beatles's White Album. Damn pretentious music critics who like to have their favorites!
