I’m posting this question both on Usenet and here. Let’s see who answers first.
OK, remember their second album “Songs from the Big Chair?” Yeah, the one that made them a household name…anyway, the last song on the album is called “Listen”. It has two intelligible verses (and these are printed in the CD booklet as well):
Mother Russia badly burned,
Your children lick your wounds
Pilgrim father sailed away
Found a brave new world
After that last line is said, you can hear the word “listen” whispered. The rest of the song is the same verse repeated 15 times (I counted). I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s being sung. It certainly doesn’t sound like English; it may just be gibberish.
Yeah, you’re right, I guess I should quit listening to music and play video games all day instead. That would give me a life, right? After all, you are a self-confessed videogame freak, and you’re the final arbiter of what is right and what is wrong to do with my life.
Just for the record, I have a life, a family with 3 kids, and an excellent job. And I have never gotten any job from the classifieds, at least not since I graduated.
Your reply was uncalled for, especially on a message board that purports to help stamp out ignorance.
WillyK, when in the future you make “self-deprecating” remarks, you’d better do a damn sight better job of making it clear that that’s what you are doing.
