Something Something Leonard Bernstein: Difference between revisions

* The [[Trope Namers]] as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OENjixZd_Oo covered] by Canadian folk band [[Great Big Sea]] is, believe it or not, even worse for the confusion; the speed is upped about 30% and a number of additional instrumental tracks (like the fiddle) are added. And it's so much ''fun''!

** Parodied in ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' episode "Homer the Moe", where R.E.M. makes a guest appearance (already without Bill Berry at the time) and Homer further [[Mondegreen]]s their song:

You symbiotic stupid jerk, that's right, Flanders, I'm talking about you! }}

** [http://comics.com/pearls_before_swine/2007-05-27/ The R.E.M. example was] [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'' and again in ''[[Tommy Boy]]'', where they remembered the line "6 O'clock, TV hour," which starts off the second verse.

{{quote|"Wish! Upon, a star, believe in will, the realm of the king, of fantasy, the master of, the tale-like lore, the way to kingdom I adore, where the warrior's heart is pure, where the stories will come true", repeat.}}

** Oh, that's nothing. Wait till part 3.

Well, yeah, that one's a wordgasm about the [[Disney Animated Canon]] sung in stereotypically unintelligible "I'm-a twenty-years-trained real-life opera-singer", so it also fits under [[Indecipherable Lyrics]] for two distinct reasons, and [[Word Salad Lyrics]], which thus also makes it Troperrific, which [[Heavy Meta|fits]]. They're 'good'. }}

** It's all over in older Nightwish songs. Can anyone understand anything Tarja says the first time they listened? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg5_mlQOsUQ I thought not.]

* ''[http://youtube.com/watch?v=0B2bhOavNYQ GOLD RUSH]'' from ''[[Beatmania IIDX]] 14: GOLD''. Thanks in part to the fact that the lyrics are entirely in English but sung with a thick Japanese accent, about the only two discernable phrases are "Make it! Make money!" and "'''TWO DEE ECKS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!!!'''" The [http://youtube.com/watch?v=BijUMQWpi_0 remix] used in ''[[Pop N Music|Pop'n Music]]'' also adds "'''SENGOKU RETSUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!'''" to the list.

* "Rap is a Man's Soul". It's almost impossible to make sense out of the verses (even if you ''know'' the words). However, most of the people here know the chorus.

'''[[Memetic Mutation|RAW, RAW, FIGHT DA POWAH]]'' }}

** "Libera Me (from Hell)" is worse, unless you're fluent in Latin.

* [[Marilyn Manson]]'s "The Beautiful People". Most people only know the words "The beautiful people, the beautiful people".

* [[Disturbed]] singer David Draiman's style has a way of doing this for three reasons:

3. His style involves [[Scatting]] to create a vocal melody to work best with the song then applying lyrics later, making him occasionally mumble the lyrics since this is how he first experienced it (which created the scat section in "The Game"). }}

** For the most part, just about the entire discography could count (though "Voices", "Sons of Plunder", "The Night", "Asylum" and "[http://twitter.com/#!/DAVIDMDRAIMAN/status/77664430401404929 This Moment]" are particular stand-outs).
