Song of the Week #10 - Enjoy the Silence

This is one of my four favorite songs. It's dark, and atmospheric, and the lead singer's got a nice voice. It's the first song I ever heard by Depeche Mode, and it got me hooked on them.

Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode



According to Wikipedia (so it may not be true) all of the long shots of him walking through the snow are not of the lead singer, David Gahan, like they were supposed to be, but of the producer, Richard Bell. David Gahan got tired after one day of filming in the cold and left.

I'm four people, and SOTW #9

I recently decided to find out what Myers-Briggs personality type I am. I decided to take two tests, to see if I got the same results from both. I didn't. I was an ISFJ on one, and an ESFJ on another. I decided to take two more tests, and decided whichever result I got twice would be my personality type. I got ETFJ and INFJ.

Needless to say, I was very confused. I wasn't sure how I got the E's, since I'm and introvert, and I also began to think there was something wrong with me. I've decided to go with being four people at once. It's more fun.

And now, for Song of the Week #9:



Just kidding (but it was amusing, wasn't it?).

Here's the real song of the week:

Victoriam Speramus - Krypteria


I found it when I was looking for "Holding out for a Hero" videos. I'm not sure why this came up, but I'm glad it did.

Latest Dolls

Most of my recent dolls have been for contests or projects, so I haven't thought of actually posting them here. That's changing now *evil laugh*.

First, my entry for the Miss Fairytale Pageant at Fairytopia.


Base 1 Base 2

She's my version of Little Red Riding Hood. I really love the way her outfit came out, and both of the bases were a pleasure to work on.


Base

My entry to Miss Doll International. She's Miss Belarus, and this is her in an evening gown inspired by the Acai berry. All of the MDI rounds have been fun to do, and it's been fun to design her outfits. I'm sad it's done.


Base

My example doll for a tutorial for Bat Wings Tutorial I'm writing. Her spots were hard, but lots of fun.
She's a cat/bat hybrid from Pellistair, but instead of being shy and reclusive, she flaunts her unusualness.

And finally:

Base ! Base 2

My Muse! Dollers have a tradition of dolling their muses (and anything else that stands still long enough. Or things that don't stand still). It figures that my muse would be scaly and wear historical clothing. And wear big black boots.

Song of the Week #8 - Anything for You

This is the first song I ever heard by Evanescence. It's not one of their better known songs, since it comes off of a concept album (Not for Your Ears) , which is nearly impossible to find.

Since it's off of a concept album, there is no official music video for it.



I found the song while looking for videos set to "I'd do Anything by" Simple Plan. Needless to say, I ended up liking "Anything for You" much better than "I'd do Anything", which is sweet, but nowhere near the same level that "Anything For You" is on.

Misheard song lyrics

I've had a wonderful time this morning browsing through The Archive of Misheard Lyrics. Ever since I was 5 and sang Madonna's "Material Girl" as "Cheerio Girl", I have had a great fondness for misheard song lyrics. My favorites from this site are:

Human League: Don't You Want Me
The real lyrics are:
Don't you want me baby.
Don't you want me oooooh

Misheard lyrics:
Don't chew on me baby.
Don't chew on me oooowww

I literally collapsed in laughter after reading this one.

Elton John: Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting
The real lyrics are:
I've had it with your discipline

Misheard lyrics:
I've had it with your Death Star plan.

Billy Joel: Piano Man
The real lyrics are:
The piano, it sounds like a carnival.

Misheard lyrics:
The piano, it sounds like a power mower.

I think the misheard lyrics are better.

This next one's a bit off-color, but still funny.
Billy Joel: We Didn't Start the Fire
The real lyrics are:
We didn't start the fire.

Misheard lyrics:
We didn't fart, you liar.

Village People: In The Navy
The real lyrics are:
In the Navy

Misheard lyrics:
Ukulele

I like to sing that version whenever I hear that song.

Police: King Of Pain
The real lyrics are:
It's my destiny to be the King of Pain

Misheard lyrics:
It's my destiny to be the King of Spain

I always picture Sting dressed up like a king whenever I read this one.

Police: Message In A Bottle
The real lyrics are:
Message in a bottle

Misheard lyrics:
Knickers in a parcel

Police: Message In A Bottle
The real lyrics are:
Woke up this morning, can't believe what I saw.
Hundred million bottles washed up on the shore.

Misheard lyrics:
Woke up this morning, can't believe what I saw.
Hundred million bathtubs washed up on the shore.

As you can see, the Police don't ennunciate very well. My friend and I once had a discussion as to what was being said in "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic". Were the lyrics "Even though my life with her is tragic, Still I know my love for her goes on", or "Even though my life before was tragic, Still I know my love for her goes on"? We finally gave up trying to figure out what he was saying.

If you have any misheard song lyrics, I'd love to hear them!

Song ofthe Week #7- In the Middle

Someone has probably wondered, "Why is this blog called Lemur Reflections, and why doe it say that these are thoughts and reflections on the world when all she does is write about music, books, movies and memes?" The answer to that is that those are the things I feel like writing about. You'll get thoughtful stuff in the winter, when I'm depressed.

Anyway, on to the song. This is the first song I heard by Jimmy Eat World. I automatically thought it was a song from the 80's, but it actually came out in 2001. It's my favorite thing by the band, although I also like "Futures" and "Just Tonight".

For a long time, anytime anyone said something about "You're over there, in the middle" or anything else like that, I'd get this song in my head.

In the Middle - Jimmy Eat World


You don't get the original video or any concert videos because the concert videos all had lousy quality, or the performance wasn't very good, and the original music video has lots of people in their underwear dancing in a house, and I'm not posting that on my blog.

Song of the Week #6 - Paperthin Hymn

A friend recommended Anberlin to me, saying that they were a Gothic Christian band. I was, understanbly, intrigued, and went off to look them up on Youtube. This is the first song of theirs I heard.

Paperthin Hymn - Anberlin


I got their CD, "Never Take Friendship Personal", out of the library, and loved it. Unfortunately, it has to go back to the library tomorrow.
