Title: Man fails (lyrics horrible as hell)
Post by: Reeducation on June 10, 2010, 01:41:43 PM
(melody stolen from backstreet boys slow song)


Some bitches try to make me feel
So gay
Feelings and all that they say
So gay
I tried to be a better man
But I think I am a failure
At that
So when I cast a shadow
On your bedroom floor
You better start running
Away

I really tried
I really tried to
Be
Better
Now and forever
Before the shot
I take it off
I just take it off

Now they say I'm a monster
But I'm not
I need some love
Some love with a touch
And if that's too much to ask for
Then it seems that my actions are not
So bad
Yeah I think I'm not so bad
After all
I did not do it twice
To anyone of them

I really tried
I really tried to
Be
Better
Now and forever
Still I did it without

Now listen to me my love
I'll keep this short
I promise
When I was out there
I saw someone
No she was not your mom
I went to her
And in her
In a lovely bed
Then I went to see a man
Now I'm here

I really tried
I really tried to
Be
Better
Now and forever
I have AIDS

THE END
:sad:

What the fuck?


What's with the thinly veiled homophobia?

Also, it's been done better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8sCORuqZQY

It's not really veiled at all. It's pretty straight-up in-your-face homophobia. Not going to go over well around here... I guess you could call that a PD.com norm.

If that's a norm, then I think it's FABULOUS!

Just thinking, how do you feel about HIM?
Is HIM music for the gay? Not saying that gay is not okay, but you know there is this man singing to you that he loves you and wants to kill you because he loves you so much and, yeah, i find it kind of gay.

Anybody? Or does everybody just love HIM back?

... or even the second.

Go fuck yourself in the ass*, shithead!  :argh!:



*with a man's dick

Homophobia is gay.

OK then. I will explain something to you; your writing is terribly unclear. Your ability to convey a set of ideas is miserable. Keep trying.

Well, the HIM joke isn't even accurate.  HIM mostly appeals to teenage girls and the teenage boys who want to get into the pants of said teenage girls.  And both have horrible taste because HIM is an awful, awful band.

Not to mention, wouldn't that logic then have to apply to every male who has listened to any other male sing a love song?

Which would mean that any dudes that listen to Otis Redding or Led Zeppelin are total fags.

What's your original language?
Title: Re: Man fails (lyrics horrible as hell)
Post by: LMNO on June 10, 2010, 08:51:17 PM
I'll tell you what: Preface every attempt with:

"I'm trying this in English, again.  Bear with me, and feel free to make suggestions."

That will remind us that you're not trying to be a douche, and we'll help, if we can.

Also - stay away from obvious taboos (racism, sexism, homophobia, puns ... etc) until we get to know you a bit better. There's a reason an established poster can get away with calling another one "gay" (for example) and get away with it where a new member (or one who doesn't post much) would spark outrage. It's to do with knowing the person well enough to know it's a joke and, even then, misunderstandings happen from time to time.

Yeah I get that and I'll try to keep all that in mind. I don't know what was going on in my head when I posted.
It was like : "post it, no don't post it, post now, no, yes, no, POST!" and there it went.

If you're ambivalent about posting, take an extra couple of minutes and reread what you wrote, and see if you can figure out why you're reluctant to post it. If you can find it, work it out. Also, the more you write in English, the better you'll get at it. I think Pent, LMNO and Nigel have some pretty sound advice here.

Good luck, I'll keep the Finglish in mind in your future posts.

Oh, funny. I thought HIM referred to the Powerpuff Girls character.

Finnish. Just listen to any finnish person when they're speaking in english. It's horrible. Finglish they call it.


btw

Understanding the english language is easy, but my writing just does not want to go to any higher level. No idea why. :? But I'm not giving up, so sorry in advance but you will read more of my shitty writing here in the future.

After a couple of months, that is.



Yeah, definitely don't give up. Keep on doing it, and working to make it what you want it to be.

HIM is metal for people who want to be metal without actually listening to metal.

Yeah, I have some friends that grew out of that. HIM writes "love metal" and has a "heartagram" as their logo.
Not metal at all. It's like if the cast of Twilight decided to form a band and say it was metal.


Are they even still around? Or have they gone on to write "apathy metal"

Ahem. On a more serious note: yeah, the text itself was pretty lame, just the same old thing about a dying planet and blah blah angst. But your sentences are mostly correct, and I don't think your writing is bad at all when you don't try too hard - it's always a lot easier to crack a witty joke in your native tongue, and humour is one of the hardest things to master in a language, so it will take some practice. I think it's a common reason for misunderstandings with new people here.

I'd say you just need to check your posts a few times and try to be clearer with what you're saying, until you're pretty sure others will get your point and know if you're joking. Keep writing and reading, just don't use too complicated structures, sarcasm or weird references until you get more of the nuances in the English language, as well as how things like idioms differ from the Finnish ones.

Ja hauskaa krapulastaselviämistä. :P

Two things I noticed:
"Oh, yes you're!" Should be "Oh, yes you are." Ending a sentence with a contraction is a little awkward. I'm, you're, he's, etc... usually goes at the beginning of a thought.
For example:

You're going to be out of town next week, right?
Yes, I am, but only for one day.

However you could also respond with:
I'm going to be gone, but just for a day.

The other thing, which is minor, "too much of heroin"-- the of is unnecessary. "Too much heroin" is the correct phrasing.

Otherwise, good sentence structure and idea expression.
