Crois for you. When I sing Creed songs, I find it helpful to constipate myself first. Maybe use the marble for that purpose instead, and avoid choking.-- polartomato, Jul 20 2002 Oh the humanity!... somebody get Scott Stapp some turbolax!-- Fink, Jul 20 2002 "slow motion walter...fire engine guy" (smoke on the water...fire in the sky)-- shelley, Jul 20 2002 Why not use the International Phonetic Alphabet?-- juuitchan3, Jul 21 2002 Because [juuitchan3] that would just be too sensible.-- Fink, Jul 21 2002 I weally weally weally wanna zig a zig, ahhh.-- waugsqueke, Jul 22 2002 There's that great Diana Ross song, "Tell Eddie Waring there is no sal-vay-shun".
I think for this to really work you'd need unambiguous phonemes, which may make the Proclaimers song originally referred to quite hard to write...-- PeterSilly, Jul 22 2002 Who cares how the singer sings it? The goal of karaoke is not to perfectly copy a pop star's attempt at phrasing.-- bookworm, Jul 22 2002 I was under the impression that it was. The one time I have done karaoke (on "holiday" in Japan), the karaoke machine gave a score based on how closely one's singing matched that on the original song. I got a very low score for my rendition of "U Can't touch This".
The other goal of karaoke (UK style) is to make a noise like someone is twisting your balls for three and a half minutes and then to stand there expecting applause.-- calum, Jul 22 2002 I stand corrected (though I suspect the score was based more on being on-key than matching phonetics). Then again, I prefer piano bars to karaoke.-- bookworm, Jul 22 2002 thanks for fixing the link angel. My fave mondegreen was back in the folksinging days when a friend thought it was "are you going to start an affair" not Scarborough Fair!-- pfperry, Jul 23 2002 Bun fo uuuuu!-- DesertFox, Dec 20 2005 I thought that I was mis-hearing the lyrics to 'I Predict A Riot', until I looked up the lyrics. What kind of band uses 'lairy'?
Anyways, bun!-- froglet, Dec 20 2005 random, halfbakery
