(thread title is a line from the chorus of a song I wrote this week actually, jel..."singers will sing/registers go "cha ching!"/truckers will bring shipments of hats to the hipsters listlessly...")

i hope you have better melody to it than the one I just imagined, because mine sucks and makes the words sound stupid

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

It's in 3/4 time if that helps. It's more spoken than sung too.

I keep getting tripped up on "hipsters listlessly" that's tricky!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Cool, I thought the title read like a lyric!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:15 (twenty-two years ago)

the thing that sucks about twister is you totally need three people to play it and I'd so rather play it with with just one person. I'm really disturbed by the idea of people playing it listlessly. sad.

The idea that they even got the concept of irony is preposterous, if irony is a trucker hat and inflatable twister.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

now that I can hum along too!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 6 November 2003 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

They have the word in a grip like a vise. We need a new word for irony.

I like how Jesse Thorn, host of the PRI show Bullseye and an early promoter of the New Sincerity, describes the ethos as a joining of irony and sincerity. He says it better: "Irony and sincerity combined like Voltron, to form a new movement of astonishing power."

idk you never got any of this guff when Jim Bowen was hosting it
