OK, I know I said “Insects” was my favourite Boingo song, but that was very shortly after hearing it. I do still love it, but the novelty’s worn off, now – I think “Nasty Habits” has to be the best, now… I love it! And I love the way it’s the kind of song no one could pick for karaoke! lol
>:o)
The JI’d pick it for karaoke.
my friend layla goes crazy every time she hears the horn section in nasty habits, its like she loses her stomach and has the ultimate joygasm at the same time…good stuff. you want to know some more good stuff? magazines filled with donkeys and leather queens, now thats good stuff.
and donkeys as in doggies*
How could one put INSECTS as his favorite Boingo song ? It’s a really fun song for sure, it has wacky lyrics (I love the “Insects have no brain / There is no blood in their veins” part), but it’s too dissonant for me to endorse it. The flying mosquitos effects that were used throughout are just plain awful to listen to (well, it was intended).
Plus, it reminds of the time I was raising red ants in a fish bowl. I was a weird guy at that time.
As for NASTY HABITS… This is one of my favorite ones too. The crazyness of both the lyrics and the music demonstrate Danny’s true genius. There is a sense of fun in this song which amazes me. And it’s a daring one too. Great for learning english : I didn’t know the meaning of “robbing the play by yourself” until I watched Danny demonstrating it on the Farewell Video.
– Squeezir.
I believe it’s “romp and play.”
Glad the demonstration was helpful to you. (sorry… couldn’t help it)
Easy one, Beth, easy one… I won’t even try to justify me this time…
– Squeezir.
Ha
I guess that comment didn’t take much by way of cleverness, but hey… I try.Just leaving this Post for the weekend.
I was looking at my relatively small collection of CD’s (Almost all film scores, and half of them Elfman’s) on Monday, and I asked myself: “What are the top five film scores of all time?” As a HUGE Elfman fan, I immediately threw Edward Scissorhands into the number one spot (it being my personal favorite film score), but quickly pulled it out. I realized that picking the top five original/mostly-original orchestral film scores (Wizard of Oz and Marry Poppins songs do not count), would take a grate deal on impartiality. Choosing only five film scores to represent ALL of hollywood’s history turned out to be quite difficult for me. Hard as it was, I determined that there was no way that Elfman could make this list. I excluded films with multiple scores (i.e. Metropolis, several Chaplin films, and many other silent movies) because to name the score is confusing to the average person. The scores I chose would have to be easily recognizable and still hold their power (i.e. be entertaining/listen-able) today. After much deliberation, I arrived with my top five. I then listed them in order of what I felt would be the most recognizable today. MY list is below.
1) The Godfather – N. Rota
2) The Good The Bad And The Ugly – E. Morricone
3) Psycho – B. Herrmann
4) Ben Hur – M. Rosza
5) Gone With The Wind – M. SteinerHow did I do? I’m not asking for lists put together by polls, other composers, or big record labels. Nor am I asking for your personal favorites. I am asking for your personal, unbiased, opinions, and/or your personal, unbiased, lists. Remember to choose wisely if you post a list, you are choosing the top five original motion picture Scores OF ALL TIME!!! (Okay, only up to the present, but you get the idea.)
Ooops! Ment to post that one as a new topic. Sorry “The J”. Everybody continue on with your current discussion, I will re post that one.
hehe, no worries… you coward, you!
And yeah, I see what you mean, Squeezir – That’s why I kinda changed my mind – it’s not a song to be taken seriously enough to call my one favourtie!>:o)
The JNow, I’m sure we all know the TRUE meaning to this song. But, when I first heard it, it was saying to me “what would this world be without nasty habits?” But, then soon after, I found out it’s real meaning.
Anyways, it’s always a fun song to sing. I love the begining of the song. All of the music is wonderful. And, Danny’s vocals! =o
