Good to see a video from you. Haven't seen one in a bit, maybe I'm just on at all the wrong times. :dry: But anyways, great video! Your placid reading of something like that just cracks me up.

I'm glad to see the lyrical poetry videos again. I missed them. Well done once again, Paw!
-
Woohoo! Lyrical Poetry returns! :)
It's easy to forget how funny the word "monkey" is until you hear it repeated a bunch of times in a really calm, soothing voice. That is to say, this installment made me giggle. :lol:

Do you know that when you speak these lyrics, you sound like a pedophile Paw? :huh:
Which actually makes it funnier.

At first I thought this was meant for kids... but... uh... I really don't know WHAT the target audience for this one it. (the ending phrase suggests EMTs or maybe people who do medical testing on monkies?)
And yet, how you read it makes the confusion a little less scaring. Great video. (even if the poem is... uh... unique)

Ummmm...Hate to be the one to tell you this, but it seems to me that this is a song about electrically stimulating male genitalia during S&M. Or maybe not.

Nice.
I like Coal Chambers version of this song (With Ozzy Osbourne). Listening to Ozzy say things like "Monkey... Monkey....Dont you know you wanna, Shock the monkey?!"
Good stuff haha

04.07.2010 - 23:37 | vid3oman64Another video full of :huh: and :0 . This was... very strange. Paw gives us a poem about masturbating? I... think I may be greatly honored.

I have to wonder what those lyrics mean. If they don't mean anything then why have words at all instead of nonsense vocals.
Also the word monkey is hilarious.
-
04.08.2010 - 00:42 | anotherwelshpersonThe song is about jealousy... apparently...

04.08.2010 - 00:41 | anotherwelshpersonLove Peter Gabriel, but that was pretty funny! :D

Its funny when you say those lyrics that with soft voice.
-
04.08.2010 - 03:02 | ShmooglavoueAh poetry. The art of bringing together a bunch of random words and sentences in random order, and then trying to fool the reader into thinking they mean something.
-
Are you taking suggestions? If so, I Suggest 99 Problems by Jay-Z as far as lyrics with shock value. It would be so funny to to hear the opening in a calm literary voice, "If you're havin' girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one"

Paw has a nice voice for stuff like this. Maybe he should do something that's not english?
-
04.08.2010 - 06:52 | Nekoshema
yea, he does have a nice voice
how many takes did he have to go through for this? he had to have burst out laughing at least once... monkey B)

Dear Paw,
you have officially the smoothest voice I've ever heard.
Monkey.
-
04.08.2010 - 13:46 | mrskippyIt's like a Tori Amos song I heard (involuntarily) a while ago but forgot the name of...
"Father I/Killed my monkey, I/Let it out to/touch the sweet of spring"
Yeah, it doesn't make much sense.
-
04.08.2010 - 15:03 | Lamb79what a f**k you think about this song is all about.
if it is a negative stuff about this song than i have to tell you that Peter Gabriel meant pretty serious things with this one. this song is against racism and animal experiments, you take it one way or another.
i do not think that it was a good idea to make any kind of sarcastic stuff on this song. sorry to say that but if its meant to be a funny stuff, then it was not funny at all.

:whistle: [size=medium]This sounds like a poem of bringing the penis to life. This was weird, yet put beautifully. [/size][color=fuchsia][/ color]

Okay, now how many posters are going to wander to youtube to see the official video for this song...like me?
monkey...:D

Ha! Awesome show idea Paw; you definitely know how to take a song about animal testing* and make it even more creepy.
[size=small]*([i]Yes, it's about animal testing/cruelty; the problem is just that 75% of Peter Gabriel's songs are about sex, so it's hard to tell when one isn't[/i]).[/size]
-
04.12.2010 - 04:03 | anotherwelshpersonEven though the songs seems like it's about animal testing, apparently according to PG himself, it isn't...

04.08.2010 - 21:07 | ShaggyTheShamanI don't really find this series that funny, because lyrics ARE poetry, so reading them AS poetry is just... um... well, not funny... That said, I like your other videos, not trying to insult you, just weighing in. :)

I'm always glad to see new lyrical poetry!

Weirdly meditative. Too bad "Games Without Frontiers" didn't get the same treatment.
