"I left my brain down in Africa" or the wonderful world of misheard lyrics


Sometimes understanding lyrics in popular songs is not the simplest thing in the world...not just because english is not my primary language (I do understand spoken english quite well...even if it's been awhile since I practiced speaking), often is because the pronunciation or the song metrics are a little bit messed up (you know, a thousand words per minute can be difficult to understand XD), so it's really easy to mishear lyrics.

Actually sometimes it can be done on purpose just for entertaining and, most of the times, the result is really funny! Here is some examples:


And the list goes on (try to search "Misheard lyrics" on YouTube)...there's also a SITE on the argument, I'm pretty sure that you get the quotation in the website title, if you don't, go and listen some Jimi Hendrix!

P.S.: I know, "O Fortuna" is not an english pop song...but it's really funny!

Wow, it was only 2 years ago...


Hi there, this is me playing with one of my old projects (Angry Lemonade Confusion, if you check on MySpace and Facebook our band profiles are still there...but I'm too lazy to find and post the links XD)...wow, what can I say, it seems like a century ago to me. I was sentimentally bounded to this project and after 2 years I still have some regrets...damn! XD I tried to reform that band so many times but I failed (too many problems, it's kinda a long story) so I give up for now...sometimes things just go as they like, maybe one day will be a reunion, maybe not...who knows? ;)

XD Meanwhile...I hope you like the music!

It doesn't matter how many notes do you have if you've got the groove!


Have you ever seen a 2 string bass? Well...here it is, created by Sandberg and played by a really great bass player (for those who don't know him, he's MarloweDK), this is one of the strangest things I've ever seen in my life...normally bass players tend to add strings (sometimes even too many strings) to their instruments thinking that more strings = more notes = more rock...but, you know, if you know how to groove it doesn't matter and this video is the proof!

"White folks just gotta take the fun out of everything"

This man is one of the greatest bass player in the history of music. Period. And by the way...he's funny too!
