Wild Mass Guessing/Music and Music Videos: Difference between revisions

The narrator mentions all the things that have changed:

 

why did they change the locks? }}

 

The "this" in "[[Hammerman|U Can't Touch This]]" is entirely unrelated. We're not sure about the "it" in "[[New Kids on the Block|(You Got It) The Right Stuff]]".

* The "that" in "I'd Do Anything for Love" is explained in each lyric. Meat Loaf sings two things he will do for love and then one thing that he won't. Then he sings that he "won't do that", referring to the one thing he referenced earlier. Example:

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that. Oh no, no I won't do that }}

** Unless Britney Spears is referring to forgetting how her lover feels right then, not going all the way that night, doing it better than she would with her lover, forgetting her lover, leaving her lover, or cheating on her lover, it isn't.

*** "Whatever it is that GIRL put a spell on me"

*** Now, ''that's'' a [[Mondegreen]]. <grin>

 

== Taking the above even further: there are no [[Mondegreen|mondegreens]] ''at all!'' Those are the ''actual lyrics'' in all cases. ==

The whole love affair was a delusion. Neither the woman nor her mailbox exist. When the fella tries hand delivery, things are gonna get heartbreaking.

* This is pointed out in the song's chorus:

No such zone" }}

* You don't have to have the stamp. Writing "Return to Sender" on the envelope will work. If she intercepted the mailman at the mailbox and immediately did this, the letter could indeed get back on the very next day.

* Also, if the song isn't really about cake, then that means the cake is a lie.

* Next thing you know, somebody will be doing [[Tempting Fate|a version of MacArthur Park sung in GLaDOS's voice]].

** Maybe in [[Portal (series)|Portal]] 3?

 

 

* "Crazy":

There was something [[Lotus Eater Machine|so pleasant about that place]]<br />

Even your emotions had an echo<br />

 

* "Only":

And I'm seeing [[People Jars|things I really shouldn't see]] }}

* "Every Day Is Exactly The Same":

[[Dysfunction Junction|There is no love here]]<br />

[[Instrumentality|And there is no pain]] }}

 

== The Servant's "Cells" is about [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|playing video games]]. ==

I've got another level that I wanna clear" }}

 

And look for each other in the TV screen" }}

 

== The child in "Cats in the Cradle" is an [[Enfant Terrible]] acting on the [[Law of Disproportionate Response]] ==

The second verse describes the father casually saying that he is unable to play with his son. The budding young psychopath swears vengeance: "He walked away, but [[Slasher Smile|his smile never dimmed]], he said 'I'm gonna be like him, yeah, ya know I'm gonna be like him." Content to let his plot simmer for decades if necessary, the child finally has his revenge in the last verse:

[[Cruel Twist Ending|He'd grown up just like me]], [[Hoist by His Own Petard|my boy, was just like me.]] }}

 

 

Read the following excerpts of a literal translation:

Erl king has done me some harm!" }}
