No, it is a song from a well-known game. The tfff tufs are drum effects
An electronic drum machine?
Oh, I remember that. I know Upā¦and downā¦upā¦and downā¦
Call on meeeeeeā¦
(This is one example where the original is much better than the remakeā¦)
Taaaake ooooon meeeee (take. on. me.)
Aha!
Beep you Discourse.
Baaaaad to the bone (dun dun dun DUN dun) B-b-b-b-b-b-aaaaaad (dun dun dun DUN dun) B-b-b-b-b-b-AAAAAAAD (dun dun dun DUN dun)
Oh, if only there had been Shazam in the 90s!
Still hung up on that, are you?
Here let me help you out:
Itās George Thorogood and the Destroyers.
On the other hand if we had had Shazam back then, we wouldnāt have the same relief of discovering a song years later.
Plus imagine Shazam over a dial-in-connection⦠by the time the modem beeps are done, so is the song!
Ohhh, now I can literally party like it“s 1999!
I wouldn“t want to miss my little adventure for a few seconds of a Shazam search.
You know those people who pay a lot of money to to get frozen and cryogenically preserved, hoping one day they could be defrosted and cured for their now-incurable illness?
It was 1995. I wasnāt affected by such an illness fortunately, but I was listening to my radio. It was a music broadcast without conduction. So the music was continuously streamed, without any announcement. I heard this song:
I found it beautiful, and I promptly pressed the REC button on my radio, which -yes- had a built-in tape recorder, in which I kept a blank tape.
I used to do that with nice songs which I wanted to know the author. Friends or other radio broadcasts came into my help for many other titles, but I never managed to discover the title of that song.
I kept that tape for many years.
In the first years of the new millennium, I burned all my CDs into MP3, and some of my tapes too (the rarest ones, the ones I couldnāt find in digital version).
I found the tape of that song, and I decided to make an MP3 out of it, just in case a new technology could help me one day.
It was maybe in 2008 when a friend of mine showed me his new iPhone 3Gā¦
He had two interesting apps: in the first one, you could transform your phone in a glass of beer.
Nice, I thought. But not enough to retire my Nokia 3310 (even if it wasnāt good as my previous 3210) and spend an entire wage (at that time I earned EUR 900 per month) to buy a smartphone.
The second interesting app was Shazam. I was really impressed. Man, this is THE FUTURE!
In 2009 I got a good job with a good wage. In 2010, december my Nokia startetd to have some issues with the speaker. I decided it was time to discover the author of that song, and to make myself a Christmas present.
I bought an iPhone 4 (which I still use, btw) and Shazam was the first app I downloaded.
And, now that I think of it, maybe somebody can explain me what a āFliewatüütā is supposed to be.
That really made me smile itās almost a shame itās so easy these days. I regularly try and name every song and artist that comes on the radio before itās announced, because thatās much more fun than being told.
And Shazamming you also keep track of what you hear, without having to try remember that freakin name, days later, the first time you step into a cassette and CDs storeā¦
errrrrā¦
ThereĀ“s gotta be a way we can make a game out of thatā¦
HELL YEAH!
I mean sure, whatever.
So Hell/Devil/Satan stuff is okay?
Guess so thereās a slight hole in my logic, dear Kreizler I mean Liza.
Though Iām not sure Iād use devil/satan like that regardless.
A christian upbringing that has logic holes in it? Oh well I neverā¦!
TBH I couldn“t think of any common sayings that included those at the moment, so that may be a reason.
