LAST EDITED ON Aug-16-14 AT 07:59 PM (EDT) The Art of Noise feat. the Temple Island Fire Ferrets, with special guests Baron Zoria & his Circle of Horns and Avatar Korra: Live-and-unannounced at Rockbender Records on Telegraph Ave. in Republic City, Xinqiliu, Liuyue 12, 291 ASC (Saturday, June 12, 2410).
Man, it's a hot one Like seven inches from the midday sun Well I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone But you stay so cool My muñequita My Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa You're my reason for reason The step in my groove, yeah And if you said, "This life ain't good enough" I would give my world to lift you up I could change my life to better suit your mood Because you're so smooth And it's just like the ocean under the moon It's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it Well I'll tell you one thing If you would leave it'd be a crying shame In every breath and every word I hear your name Callin' me out Life in the barrio You hear my rhythm on your radio You feel the turning of the world So soft and slow Turning you 'round and 'round And if you said, "This life ain't good enough" I would give my world to lift you up I could change my life to better suit your mood Because you're so smooth And it's just like the ocean under the moon It's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it And it's just like the ocean under the moon It's the same as the emotion that I get from you You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it - Santana "Smooth" (feat. Rob Thomas) Supernatural (1999) |

>> - Santana >>"Smooth" (feat. Rob Thomas) >>Supernatural (1999) > >Lemme guess, not dedicated to Utena? Probably not, at least if Kate's doing the dedicating. Given the reference to tides in the chorus, my guess would be that in this instance it's meant for their guest guitarist. :) (The locale specified in the third line may thus become someplace other than Spanish Harlem, but then Kate often does that when they play "Smooth" in concert someplace other than, well, Spanish Harlem.) --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Speaking of which, >>You gotta figure Korra learned how to play an instrument as well, >>because I can't see the White Lotus not trying to pour as much >>culture as possible into her head > >Still, if it was the erhu, that's at least a stringed >instrument, so when rock 'n roll came to Dìqiú and >brought the Fender Stratocaster with it, she wouldn't quite >have been starting from zero. :) I found Korra's guitar. Obviously it was originally a two-tone Sunburst, but somebody painted it Korra blue... a long time ago. I imagine when rock 'n roll instruments first came to Dìqiú, 80-some years before Try Again, you had to take pretty much what you could find. Custom orders and local production came later. --G. "Oh hey! You found my guitar! Where was it?" "The attic." "What the - I'm sure I looked there." "They do that..." -><- Benjamin D.

>Hm. I wonder who the Dìqiú equivalent of Mona Lisa is? Avatar Yangchen would probably like to believe it's her. She's also probably wrong. :) >"No, that doesn't fit the scansion...damn. We'll have to break the >rhyme." >"Not like 'kiss ya' and 'Lisa' wasn't stretching for a rhyme to begin >with." Heh. Muñequita isn't the best rhyme there either, and is another word that a local audience in Dìqiú would probably have a bit of trouble with, but hey. Besides, do bear in mind that Kate is a student of the Lehrer ryū of samurai rhymes. As the judge remarked the day that he acquitted my Aunt Hortense To be smut It must be ut Terly without redeeming social importance --G. -><- Benjamin D.

I wonder what she'd think of Mitch Benn, he of the following verse: Everybody knows ain't nothing rhymes with orange Doesn't matter how much imagination or ing- enuity you use, even words that are foreign j- ust better let it go, ain't nothing rhymes with orange Probably not much, but w/e. =] --- "She's old, she's lame, she's barren too, // "She's not worth feed or hay, // "But I'll give her this," - he blew smoke at me - // "She was something in her day." -- Garnet Rogers, Small Victory FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards. There's a small part of me that dearly, dearly wants The Art Of Noise to cover Mitch's rock opera rendition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I am much less ashamed of it than perhaps I should be. |

Well, heck, they've covered Bill Bailey's "The Leg of Time". Anything is possible, however improbable. --G. Why did I do that? Why did I do that?
