I don't think he likes partying very much

Fri Jan 27, 2012 3:43 am

are you saying he was a party hipster, only singing about parties ironically?

Ebly · Post by **Ebly** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 3:52 am

no he just

clearly doesnt like parties

i dont understand how you cant see it

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:01 am

It's really obvious when you really listen to the lyrics Brent

All songs by Andrew W.K are really deep, emotional and philosophical.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:49 pm

The partying is a metaphor for South African racial rifts.

Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:50 pm

Aparthied. It's wrong.

Ebly · Post by **Ebly** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 12:05 am

Obviously Andrew is attempting to express that even country borders are an abstract form of apartheid and that a truly unsegregated world would be completely globalised.

I mean, just look at this:
[quote]O Party Party Party
I wanna have a Party
I need to have a Party
You better have a Party[/quote]

Clearly, because of the capitalisation, 'Party' is in reference to the Afrikaner National Party, the successful institutionalisers of South African racial segregation, indeed the ones that popularised use of the word 'apartheid'... I could go on, but by now, I think the message should be painfully obvious to everyone involved.

and in his other song, when he says

when it's time to party we will always party hard

it's a metaphor for how more direct measures will have to be taken to end this racism. egads, how could I have missed it.

Does anyone know what language is being used in this song?
Some theories from the comments:

1) Esperanto
2) Some Celtic tongue
3) The language from the Ar Tonelico game series
4) Just random jibberish

Sat Jan 28, 2012 3:26 am

sometimes it sounds like jibberish, other times it sounds like it was sung and played back wards.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 3:29 am

I believe 4 is the correct answer. Googling individual words returns nothing but references to that song.

This song is way too soothing for something relating to demons. XP

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 4:09 am

Heh, guess I'm taking the lyrics too seriously then xp

It's soothing because the original title is Lullaby of Deserted Hell, as in a lonely, desolate hell.

This song's great on the piano, here's my favourite rendition of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T75iD_KlUlA

Also, does anyone think she looks like Miranda Cosgrove? Particularly at 1:56 of the first video

I wouldn't call those lyrics the most reliable though. I'm tempted to try different alphabets, though can't be bothered.

That said, I also think the tongue is not a real one.

The original arrangement, by my vague understanding of ZUN and Touhou stuff in general, did not have vocals, so when an artist includes vocals, it seems to be whatever they can think of.

There's a better than average chance I'm seeing Gwar in Toledo this March
I'm drafting my will now.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 1:26 am

Oh God why would someone ever put themselves through that?

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 1:45 pm

Because Gwar.......
Why wouldn't I go see one of my favorite bands on a friday night?

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 1:47 pm

I was actually not aware anyone actually liked them, except for maybe theatrical purposes. No offense.

I often wonder ifRob Zombie's lyrics have any meaning or if he just throws together things that sound cool.

That's true, ZUN only composes instrumentals. The vocals are mostly made up by the arrangers, usually to reflect on the character(s) associated with that particular theme. The original's here, for comparison purposes.

I'm more surprised that you've heard Touhou remixes, Ebly. Never expected that ;p

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 10:54 am

1994 is not "really old"! I remember 1994.

I also like their video of Separate Ways. Despite the synth line being shown on a guitar.

Try Black Holes and Revelations if you want. It's similarly synth-based and I think it's even better!
