Who are you people |
Hello, I'm Anna! I'm a junior in high school and hopefully an artist someday. I like Doctor who, Supernatural, and Homestuck among other things. I'm very friendly so if you ever want to say hi :) My art |
Muse | Madness
I, I can’t get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness
Is starting to evolve, mmmm
And I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness
Is swallowing me whole, yeah
I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
What you mean
The Hobbit| That’s What Bilbo Baggins Hates!
(Bilbo: Can you not do that? You’ll blunt them!)
(Bofur: Oooh~! Do you hear that, lads? He says we’ll blunt the knives~!)
Blunt the knives and bend the forks!
Smash the bottles and burn the corks!
Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates -
Cut the cloth and tread the fat!
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!
Pour the milk on the pantry floor!
Splash the wine on every door!
Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl;
Pound them up with a thumping pole;
And when you’ve finished, if any are whole,
Send them down the hall to roll!
That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates!
(So, carefully! Carefully with the plates!)

“Oh, Bubblegum” Orchestra version by Black Robinson (dummeh) from the Adventure Time episode, “I Remember You” featuring Ice King and Marceline the Vampire Queen.
A wiggly orchestration of ‘Oh Bubblegum’ from the show Adventure Time. The first song from the latest episode was too catchy not to orchestrate while working on something. Featuring singing by myself.
Lyrics:
Slime Princess you’re alright,
Flame Princess you’re okay
Wildberry Princess could be better
All of the princesses are pretty alright but…
Oh Bubblegum… You look like a lot of fun
I’m right outside, and that is how I know
Hey Princess did you get my text?
With the picture of my awesome gun show.
I’m also working on my pecs,
If you’d like I’ll send a picture of that too
Oh Bubblegum… I really need someone
or anyone… Pretty much anyone
I’m so alone.
Will somebody tell me what’s wrong with me?
Anybody?!
Anybody?!
Anybody?!

“You Don’t Have To Be A Prostitute” Flight of the Conchords
These blood red eyes
Don’t see so good
But what’s worse is if they could
Would I change my ways?
Wasted times and broken dreams
Violent colors so obscene
It’s all I see these days
These daysi am still so very proud of this omg

Star Spangled Man Cover by Meg Bodoun
Steve stares at her, because that’s the song. Who’s strong and brave, here to save the American Way?
But it’s slow, and sad, and not all the lyrics are the same — because the song was about him but more about this mythical hero who would do it all, and —
She’s left out the line. The song was always just a lot of questions about who will fight for America or save America or give his all in battle, but in the original, there was an answer: The Star Spangled Man.
And she’s left the answer out. So it’s not an anthem to raise money for a war or get enlistment numbers up. It’s a cry out for help. Who’ll rise and fall, give their all for America?
(She’s left out a lot of other stuff too, about the goose-stepping goons and the Krauts and all that guff, which is just as well.)
After the song, after she’s gone off the stage and people have turned back to their drinks, he sidles through the crowd to find her. He’s still…uncertain around women, sometimes, but his need to ask her about the song overrides his reticence.
“Ma’am?” he asks, and she turns from where she’s talking to the bartender. “You play beautifully.”
“Thanks, handsome,” she says, smiling. She can’t be older than him, probably younger.
“I uh…” he rubs the back of his head. “The last song you played. I remember it. You did a better job of it than just about anyone ever, I think.”
“Well, that wouldn’t have been ha — ” she starts, and then really looks at him.
“Steve Rogers,” he says, offering his hand.
“You’re Captain America!” she blurts. “You’re really tall!”
“Right now I’m just a guy who liked your song,” he replies. He gets this a lot, Tony coached him on how to reply.
“But — they wrote that song about you!” She looks horrified. “I cut you out of it!”
“Well, maybe, but…don’t you think it’s better that way?” He smiles, shyly. “I do.”
“You do?”
“Sure. Because…” He thinks about this. “Well, if it’s just some Star Spangled Man doing it all, ordinary people feel like they don’t have to do anything. And I think the point of democracy is that everyone has to do their part. I sure don’t want to do it all myself, anyhow.”
“That’s…that’s why I…” she stammers. “Damn, you should run for president.”

What does English sound like to foreign ears?
We’ve all heard examples of fake Chinese or German from speakers who lack familiarity with either language. While typically cringe-worthy, these examples do raise interesting questions regarding our own language. What does English sound like to non-English speakers? After more than 40 years, Adriano Celentano’s “Prisencolinensinainciusol” remains one of the most illuminating examples.
The entire song is nonsense verse, neither English nor Italian, but the sounds are meant to resemble English. Linguist Mark Liberman wrote an interesting post about this sort of thing over at Language Log discussing yaourter, the French word for an attempt to speak or sing in a foreign language that one doesn’t know all that well. This often involves trying to sing a foreign song with nonsense or random words filling in the blanks. Liberman shares this wonderful quote from a random Internet user:
Just for the story, in France, when we don’t speak English and we want to imitate the sound, we call it “yaourter”(to yoghourt), the imitation sounds like a very nasal language, kind of like a baby crying. It mostly imitates the “cowboy” accent.
This is fascinating *A*
I love when they mimic Americans speaking English in anime and it’s all “Shit!” and “OH MY GOD” and “pera pera pera” or something like that XD
I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED
This is amazing.
It sounds like it should be American English but it’s just…not, and as somebody whose mother tongue is American English that’s really fascinating. And frustrating. It’s almost hard to listen to.
Is no one gonna mention how rad this song is tho?
AHHH ITS ENGLISH BUT NOT
