Lyric-by-Lyric #2 "Raise Your Glass" by P!nk

Here's my next song, people. Now, I don't hear people talk about P!nk despite her songs being pretty popular and having been around for a long time. This inconveniences me as I don't have someone to agree or disagree with.

  I say all this because I've also heard nothing on this song. But, at least that'll let me focus on what I personally think without any bias. Here's hoping it'll be entertaining.

Right right, turn off the lights,
We gonna lose our minds tonight, 
What's the dealio?...


..And, right at the beginning it starts to sound stupid. Come on "dealio"? I haven't heard someone say that in years. 


..I love when it's all too much...


What does that mean? Seriously?

..5 AM, turn the radio up,
Where's the rock and roll?,
Party crasher, panty snatcha'...


Huh?


..Call me up if you are gangsta'...


Is this just gonna keep happening now? Are we gonna keep abusing the word "gangster"? Come on, P!nk. I love you and all but, you don't qualify as gangster. You don't! 


..Don't be fancy,
Just get dancey... 


Just because you don't think of yourself as "fancy", doesn't mean your qualified to use stupid, made up words like "dancey".


..Why so serious?...


Hey, I'm the internet reviewer. I make the pop-culture references.


..So raise your glass if you are wrong...
..In all the right ways...


I guess P!nk and Katy Perry are now restarting the musical trend of making songs for those who feel like social outcasts. Being one myself, I appreciate that we're being pandered again. But, we'd also appreciate it if the songs were good.


..All my underdogs, we will never be, never be...
..Anything but loud...
..And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks...


Yeah, I'm going with Katy. Sorry P!nk, I prefer being called a firework than a "nitty gritty, dirty little freak". Whatever the hell that means.


Won't you come on, and come on, and...
..Raise your glass,
Just come on and come and...
..Raise Your Glass!... 


No comment...yet.


..Slam, slam, oh hot damn,
What part of party don't you understand?, 
Wish you'd just freak out (freak out already)...


This line has me nervous. What's going on, P!nk? What are you doing?

..Can't stop coming in hot,
I should be locked up right on the spot, 
It's so on right now (so fuckin' on right now)... 


It's not getting any better.


..Party crasher, panty snatcha',
Call me up if you a gangsta',
Don't be fancy...
..Just get dancey...


I'm no longer in the mood to party, P!nk.

..Why so serious?... 



Because you're scaring me!


..(chorus)...


..Won't you come on, and come on, and,
Raise your glass,
Just come on and come and...
...Raise Your Glass!(2x)..


Nope, still no comment.


(spoken)Oh shit my glass is empty...
that sucks ! 


Okay, that was kinda funny, but, let's move on.


So, if you're too school for cool (I mean...) 


You mean what? I don't see the explanation for that terrible line.
You know, reversing words in a popular saying isn't clever unless it makes sense.

..And, you're treated like a fool (treated like a fool),
You could choose to let it go, 
We can always, we can always...
..party on our own... 


If you say so, P!nk. You honestly lost me a long time ago so I really can't say anything about this.


So, raise your(more than enoughx)


..nice.


..(just the chorus again)


and that was "Raise Your Glass" by P!nk. Yes, the lyrics were surprisingly stupid, but I guess it makes a nice dance song. She does sound like she's having fun and the message isn't bad. So, yeah..


Hope you liked it and join me next time.

DVD Reviews #5 Inception

I'm sorry. That last movie was not what I saw next. I can't I forgot about this. Today I'm gonna talk the awesomeness that was Inception. Anyone who was disappointed that Christopher Nolan's next movie wasn't the third Batman shouldn't. This movie was amazing. A great plot, great characters, and great action. The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio as part of a group of thieves that specialize in extraction, which is taking people's ideas from within their dreams. This team is hired to do the opposite of their job. To plant an idea into someone's head, which is called inception(OMG! Title Drop). They get the help of a college student named Ariadne(That's where Juno comes in, just so you know) and together they...well, do that. It's truly a work of art. I recommend this to those who like action heist movies that have some depth and psychology to it.

DVD Reviews #4 RED

RED was a nice movie. I thought it wasn't gonna be that good, but it was. The directing was nice, I liked some of the humor, and the action was pretty cool. It didn't impress me a lot but, it did surprise me. If you need to know what it's about It involves Bruce Willis playing Moses, a secret agent who's retired because he's too old for this shit. He tries to settle down and form a relationship when gets attacked one night. He get's talks to Joe, played by Morgan Freeman, another retired agent who's too old for this shit. This eventually gets him to form a team of old friends who are all too old for this shit as they get involved in a conspiracy that involves the Vice President. A lot of crazy shit ensues.

DVD Reviews #3 The Town/The Karate Kid

I've decided to make all my DVD reviews short and keep the long ones for Theatrical reviews.

Here are my next two movies. First off:

THE TOWN

The story of a town full of crime and a man looking to escape it. He fall in love with a girl who doesn't know he's a criminal and drama ensues. It was great. I don't have much to say about this but, I'm going to try my best. The acting was good, the drama was nice, and the story was interesting. So yeah, I recommend it. It's got some cool robbery scenes and intense dramatic moments. It's seriously good.

Score:

B

Next:

THE KARATE KID

Ah, this one. This one's infamous for being yet another Hollywood remake but not just any remake. A remake of an 80's classic. This might surprise you but, this one was actually good. It's got the whole "standing up for yourself" thing that the original had going on plus a great relationship establishment`between our hero and his teacher. For those of you who don't know this new goes, here's the deal. Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith, plays our Daniel, Dre Parker, who moves to China with her mother and tries to fit in. One day, he was chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool and shooting some b-ball outside of the school when a couple of guys who were up to no good stated making trouble in the neighborhood. He got in one little fight and his mom got scared(hmm...). Later on he decides he's not going to take it any more and gets our Miyagi, Mr. Han(played by Jackie Chan) to teach him Kung Fu(Yeah, that's right. Kung Fu, not Karate. I don't get it either). I recommend it to any one who believes that remakes can't be at least decent.

Score:

Lyric-by-Lyric #1 "The Time(Dirty Bit)" by Black Eyed Peas

 I always wanted to do music. Ever since I found out that you can become popular by complaining about stuff on the internet, I thought that could probably be my thing. But there are 2 problems with that: 1. There are music reviewers that are way funnier than me 2. I'm more interested in movies. So I decided to make music a blog thing instead. Here's the first song that caught my attention. The Time(Dirty Bit) by Black Eyed Peas.




First, let me talk about the Peas. I like what they do with their music. I like their positive attitude. They're songs that are great to dance to. Those are what I like about them. What I don't like about their songs is when they start singing. Their lyrics are not the most clever. Now, dance music isn't really supposed to be smart. The lyrics don't really matter at all, it's just for dancing. But that's what's amazing about the Peas: their lyrics are horrible even for dance music. And, it's hard for me to enjoy myself at a party if I'm hearing Fergie talk about her humps. So let's see what they're doing now:

I had the time of my life and I never felt this way before 
and I swear this is true and I owe it all to you...


It's a song that samples that samples (I've Had) The Time of My Life from the movie "Dirty Dancing".... And it's a pop song by the Black Eyed Peas....This is gonna be bad.

Oh, I had the time of my life and I never felt this way before, 
And, I swear this is true and I owe it all to you(like, 20x)...

That repetition is not entertaining at all.


And, what is it with sampling a song for your chorus? When you make a song you want people out there to be singing it to themselves or with someone, right? Well most people usually just sing the chorus. If your chorus is from another song, how are you supposed to know they're singing your song? It's doesn't say anything about your own talent is what I'm trying to say.


dirty bit...


...Uh, pardon me?

dirty bit...

No, seriously. What does that mean? What does "dirty bit" mean? Is it some new dance move you just invented? Some new slang? What is dirty and what is bit in this context? Oh, I get it "Dirty Bit" like "Dirty Dancing". That's what it means...I think. ANSWER ME!!!

I-I came up in here to rock,
light a fire...make it hot,
I don't wanna take no pictures,
I just wanna take some shots. So...

Oh well, isn't that romantic? will.i.am, if you're going to rip-off your chorus, could at least not make the rest of the song be different?

..come on lets go. lets lose control,
Let's do it all night till we can't do it no more...

I might be wrong because I'm getting these lyrics of from an untrustworthy website but, I'm pretty sure that's a double negative he just did there.

We gon rock it to the sound. turn it up and watch it (bounce)... 


"watch" it bounce? Watch what bounce? It can't be the "sound" because sound can't be seen!

we gon rock it to the top until the roof gon (pouring) down...


"gon"?"pouring down"? what, a roof? Stop making me go all Grammar Nazi on you.


And yeah, it's hot in here, the temperature... 


Well thank you, Black Eyed Peas. I would've never guessed it was the temperature that's getting hot.

It's got these ladies getting freakier...


I don't go to parties that much. But, if the heat is what's getting people to lose control, I'd start calling an ambulance.


I got freaky freaky baby. I was chilling with my ladies...

That was just stupid. And, there can't be any other person who thought otherwise. Also "I was chilling with my ladies"? When what? What happened?

I didn't come to get (perky). I come here to get crazy... 


Apparently, you're not going to answer....Huh.


Get "perky"? What?


I was born to get wild,
that's my style, 
if you didn't know that...
well baby now you know now...


Redundant line is redundant.


chorus



A-All these girls they like my swagger. They calling me Mick Jagger...


Great, another song that rhymes "swagger" with "Mick Jagger". Only Ke$ha and the Black Eyed Peas(I can't tell will.i.am's voice apart from apl.de.ap's) believe that Mick Jagger is attractive instead of, you know, like this: 

And, this is just a recent picture.

I be rolling like the stones jet setter, jet-lagger...


My filler senses are tingling.


We ain't messin with no maggots,
messing with the baddest
chicks in the club, 
Honey, what's up...


These are so obviously filler. None of these lines have any effort put into them.


mirror mirror on the wall,
it's the baddest of 'em all,
Yes, gotta be the apple,
I'm the mac daddy, y'all...


Yay! More bad puns!


All haters better step back,
ladies, download your app,
I'm the party application,
rock it just like that...


I don't know what that means. But the good news is, the song is finally coming to an end.


Cuz, I'm...having...a good...time...with you, 
I'm telling you...


This does not make the chorus make any more sense.

chorus(2 which sounds like 4 since it's already repeated by a different singer x) 

dirty bit


That was the song and, as you can guess, I didn't like it. The lyrics are made of pure stupid and the beat isn't even fun. Join me next time, maybe. 


Hope you like it.
