What I take pride in

[ookami]

that's what i do normally. I learn the words just by listening and, with my limited japanese and with the english lyrics, i guess what the song is about. then i go and see if i'm right (almost always wrong). it's fun and good practice....i think.

For *years* I thought Chumbawumba were singing something totally different (trying to remember what it is now...) until one day I came across the lyrics, and my reaction was: OMG... how on earth did I think it could have been anything different?!

[ookami]

I don't know the song, but i know what you mean. It's frustrating, shocking, confusing and fun all at the same time. ^_^

Have a listen here: Radioblogclub

It's quite a feel good song

I get knocked down! But I get up again; you're never gonna keep me down

I used to think this was something completely different... can't remember what it is now ...

[ookami]

T_T radioblogclub doesn't work. i remember because that's what i use to use in the beginning of the year. I was so mad that they blocked my source of music.

??? What could you get out of that?

??? What could you get out of that?

Precisely! When I actually read the lyrics I was like: OMGGGGG! How on earth could I think it was .*insert whatever it was*. Anyway, my memory promptly deleted the now useless words, so alas I can't remember what I actually thought it was

Your school filter doesn't allow Radioblogclub either? Hmm... how about Last.fm or Imeem?

[ookami]

yes to Last.fm (i've seen ppl on it. not sure if a proxy was involved tho) and i don't know about Imeem. I've never heard of it.

[Flick]

I only found out about Imeem fairly recently, but I think you can listen to music on there

well also no one knew what pissing was in the US.
pissing = drinking

Hehe Good point! I think it's also written in their Wiki entry when I went to look itup the other day... hadn't realised it wasn't universal
