Re: Song versus song
Black Gold. I'd heard it fresh off the album, never as an overplayed single, and never on the radio. I love how the other two are upbeat and catchy but with strong messages. Still, Black Gold's my favorite of the bunch.

Standing Water

So frustrated. Get up anyway.
So complicated. Changes every day.
So the darkness fades
And the light, will come shining through.

Re: Song versus song
I did the same for I Know What You Did Last Summer. I have to endure 2 hours of idiotic running and screaming just to hear Losin' It. I don't think I accomplished anything though, because I can't remember anything from the movie - even the SA song...sayeeda wrote:I certainly did look for it when I watched the movie earlier tonight...but I had to be away (get called by parent do do something) at exactly that moment!

Miss This is a superb song! I think the song is very stylistic - cool drums and bass, and quite un-Soul Asylum-ish.
I would go with Standing in the Doorway. There's a very striking symbolism in the song that I really like, masked in a raw, arrogant, rock tune that makes the song rebellious, a bit nonsensical (but is not really).sayeeda wrote:Black Gold.

I've never had the opportunity to hear Miss This and know at the time that that's what I was listening to.lune ellise wrote:Miss This is a superb song! I think the song is very stylistic - cool drums and bass, and quite un-Soul Asylum-ish.
Technically, my first time was around late 96/early 97, the first time I saw Twister. I remember the twin tornadoes and the flying cow, and hearing something at the time which I thought was pretty cool.

Re: Song versus song
Next question, if you're still up for it :
favorite song with a hooker/prostitute reference:
eyes of a child (...got a goldfish named Silver and a pimp who's named Rick...)
string of pearls (...so she gave it to Lisa, a young prostitute who was missing a pearl...)
wthout a trace ( I fell in love with a hooker...)
I think there was no question like this one in this game. I thought of it because of a friend of mine, who said, as I was trying to make a fan out of her, that all SA songs are about hookers and prostitutes (at that time we only had access to GDU and post GDU songs). So I know I didn't mention other songs with this reference, so feel free to add them on my little list

Re: Song versus song
hmm i can think of at least one more:
in passing sad day dream (And the lovely Miss Liberty is just another whore)
so ofthose.. i chose without a trace because the hooker is happy (well laughing at least) ...even though the "i" who fell in love with her isn't
and in the other songs they sound more depressed except for pearl... but since i don't really love that song at all, i'm choosing without a trace!
ok next question: best song that talks about 'NOT getting paid' (i wonder if they used to get ripped off a lot and kept writting songs complaining about people not getting paid? i notice the last one is on GDU - guess after that they stopped complaining about not getting paid!?)
1. nice guys (don't get paid)
2. the sun maid (she never gets paid)
3. money talks ( I'll pay you when I get paid )
4. marionette ( It's very hard work when you don't get paid )

Re: Song versus song
I have to go with Nice Guys, it's just such a great song. I love the ballads, and the story there is hilarious.
Best soundtrack song (ill likely miss some on here...)
Miss This
The Break
Can't Even Tell
Schools Out
I will still be laughing
Misery
We 3

Re: Song versus song
We 3, definitely. It's a wonderful song with a story, and so unusual, and sad at the same time
next question:
favorite song with the mention of bodily fluids:
Veil of Tears or Blood Into Wine

Hmmm. When I first heard the song, I didn't find the story hilarious, but rather disturbing.philipgar wrote:I have to go with Nice Guys, it's just such a great song. I love the ballads, and the story there is hilarious.

Re: Song versus song
Both excellent songs, but I must vote for an unreleased/outtake song as the best "bodily fluids" songs:spodiba wrote:We 3, definitely. It's a wonderful song with a story, and so unusual, and sad at the same time
next question:
favorite song with the mention of bodily fluids:
Veil of Tears or Blood Into Wine
Die In Your Arms )(A flailing, lost, delerious sperm, a semen lost at sea.)
Die In Your Arms is not only a lovely sounding song to listen to, but it is also a superb example of Dave's unique, quirky, and brilliant writing style, which makes it hands down the best bodily fluids song IMHO
I couldn't resist posting my response to the bodliy fluids songs, but I'm afraid I can't dream up a new song vs. song battle. My bad.
