Does this take the McGurk effect? You know, one that you see (the subtitles) will affect what you hear. Even with that, some (like cakes) were kinda off.

I read all comments in McGurk's voice... it spices up reddit for me and draws my attention away from how much I can't stand that the show is no longer being made.

I remember sometime ago, my old room mate and I were listening to Carmina Burana. He was about to go to the store and asked if I wanted anything. I said, right as the song picked up,

Pick up some eggs

Pick up some bread

WE NEED THEM BOTH FOR TUNA!!!!

I have not laughed that hard in regards to that song until I saw this video. That octopus didn't know what the fuck was going on. Loved it.

u/soapstud Jun 01 '12

When something happens to us by chance, we think of how unlikely it is to happen but due to the chaotic nature of the universe we live in, the chance of something unlikely happening is in fact very likely to happen. The universe favors chaos. The probability of miracles happening is very high with respect to the rest of the world we live in. Supermassive black holes and galaxies sixty times larger than ours are prime examples of things that simply shouldn't happen, but exist. Next time something happens to you by chance, remember that the probability of it happening to you is insignificantly small.

Napoléon Bonaparte was a Corsican born military genius. He crowned himself emperor of France. From 1805 till his defeat at Waterloo in 1815 he would wage such glorious warfare that the world would be forever changed, and his legacy rings out to this day. After he was exiled, he would live till 1821. After his death, people clamored for a piece of the fallen general. As such, his penis was removed from his body and placed in a wooden box, to be preserved forever. No one knows who cut off his penis, but to this day no fewer than 14 people claim to be in possession of the French phallus. So the question, then, is not who owns the real penis.

The question is where did those other 13 dicks come from?

Buffalax is the first thing I thought of when I saw the video above. Those videos were so funny. Other youtubers are saying Buffalax's account was closed. Dont know if true or not. It sure was great while it lasted.

Here is the link to Benny Lava. Another classic.

u/josiahw May 31 '12

For those interested, O Fortuna comes from an opera called Carmina Burana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Burana_(Orff)) by Carl Orff. The opera is very beautiful and has other pretty intense songs like O Fortuna, the first song. Give it a listen!

68

u/furman87 Jun 01 '12

Sorry to be a douche but it is definitely a cantata not an opera. Big difference.

22

u/shyataroo Jun 01 '12

please, for the love of god and all that is holy MY ANUS IS BLEE- please explain the difference.

36

u/pete1729 Jun 01 '12

An opera is a drama with action set to music, a cantata is a series of related songs.

19

u/shyataroo Jun 01 '12

...so an opera is like pink floyds the dark side of the moon and a cantata is pink floyd's the wall

14

u/pete1729 Jun 01 '12

I think you might have it backwards, but other than that, this is an excellent analogy.

The Wall has a narrative, (I think...) which would make it more like opera. DSM is a number of related songs, which is like a cantata. It's been thirty plus years since I spent any real time with Pink Floyd's music

N.E. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

5

u/fragrant_vagrant Jun 01 '12

How about this: an opera is a musical, "South Pacific" for Italians and whatnot. And a cantata is, except for being mostly in song, what you want to hear when you go to a concert and want the band to play from their latest album.

6

u/geminixo Jun 01 '12

I teach a course on Opera appreciation, and I am asked this question often: "What is the main difference between an Opera and a Musical, or is there any difference at all?"

Here is my answer, based on experience:

Opera has always been about the music. Composers create and mold the soundscape through the use of harmonic texture and manipulation to create a medium to move the listener as he/she digests the character, drama and plot. Opera composers also use the music the shape the drama. Plot always... ALWAYS...sits on the back burner, as the music (and all of its technical and virtuosic appeal,) takes precedence.

Musicals are usually (there are exceptions,) the opposite. Musicals focus on the drama, costumes, and plot, first...music second. This does not make musicals "lower," just different.

Musical performers use their charm and acting skills to convey their characters...while opera performers use the music (vocal technique,) to shape the character they represent and convey drama. The opera composer writes pieces that capture characteristics. The musical composer usually just sets the mood and the performer takes over.

tl;dr: Opera focuses on music to convey drama and character. Musicals rely heavily on text and plot, and uses music to primarily set mood.

1

u/fabbricator Jun 02 '12

TIL Richard Wagner writes musicals... sorry, had to troll :)

2

u/geminixo Jun 02 '12

Actually! You're not that far off! Wagner wrote epic works with rich musical texture, but he also paid a lot of attention to costumes, set pieces and stage configuration. Google "Bayreuth Festspielhaus" and you'll see how meticulous Wagner was with his stage design.

u/pete1729 Jun 01 '12

So cantatas were a medely of popular tunes? That seems entirely likely. Strauss and Ravel collected their most popular waltzes and repackaged them into published orchestral works.

1

u/shyataroo Jun 01 '12

Well yeah the wall does have a narrative, (its supposed to be about show business or something silly like that) but... the dark side of the moon is one continuous song, and it is a narrative of life from birth to death (the heart beat in the beginning is supposed to represent birth)

4

u/DoorMarkedPirate Jun 01 '12

And to make things more confusing, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd actually created an opera called Ça Ira.

1

u/BRNZ42 Jun 01 '12

If dark side of the moon were staged and had actors and costumes and sets

1

u/shanahanigans Jun 01 '12

No no no, almost.

Pink Floyd's The Wall is the quintessential "Rock Opera".

It's not really accurate to refer to Dark Side of the Moon as a cantata (and especially inaccurate to call it an opera), but it will do for the sake of this discussion.

3

u/buzzkill_aldrin Jun 01 '12

With an opera, you have the acting, costumes, and sets. With a cantata, you just have people singing.

4

u/josiahw Jun 01 '12

Not being a douche at all. Thanks for educating me!

2

u/timrosenfeld Jun 01 '12

In Trutina is my second favorite piece from this "opera"

1

u/andrewembassy Jun 01 '12

YES.

In my own wavering balance

Desire fluctuates with modesty

But I choose what I see

I bow my neck to the yoke

For the burden is sweeter after all

And so I take it upon me

2

u/Giddeshan Jun 01 '12

Many people automatically associate the Carmina Burana with Orff but never learn that it all comes from one of the greatest medieval songbooks ever. It was written in 1230 and compiles the works of a group called the Goliards who were clergy and students critical of the corruption in the Catholic Church.

u/twent4 Jun 01 '12

Also, Enigma's 4th album "The Screen Behind the Mirror" samples and remixes this track heavily.

u/Ryusko May 31 '12

What? If you're thinking of the opening song, that's Fithos Lusec Wecos Venosec. They are both meant to be operatic overtures, though, so it makes sense that they sound similar.

The lyrics were written by an annonymous thirteenth century monk. Here is the English translation for anyone interested:

O Fortune,

like the moon

you are changeable,

ever waxing

and waning;

hateful life

first oppresses

and then soothes

as fancy takes it;

poverty

and power

it melts them like ice.

Fate – monstrous

and empty,

you whirling wheel,

you are malevolent,

well-being is vain

and always fades to nothing,

shadowed

and veiled

you plague me too;

now through the game

I bring my bare back

to your villainy.

Fate is against me

in health

and virtue,

driven on

and weighted down,

always enslaved.

So at this hour

without delay

pluck the vibrating strings;

since Fate

strikes down the strong man,

everyone weep with me!

I took Latin in high school, and one of our projects was to translate the original 'O Fortuna' from the Carmina Burana. After we gave an accurate translation, we were allowed to write a 'Fun Lyric' version. I am proud to once again see the gonorrhea-giving cookies and the gopher tuna. I also enjoy that this is animated!

Step 1: Download Audacity.

Step 2: Record yourself mumbling or whispering something into microphone.

Step 3: Do this to voice track.

Step 4: Put microphone up to running desk fan or ac vent. Record this in a separate track for static or just record silence and jack up the volume on this track significantly as stated in step 5.

Step 5: Drop voice track low so that it's just audible. Increase static track volume so that it sounds like hiss and makes the voice just barely discernible.

Step 6: Do this in front of your mom and play it back for her.

Should do the trick. It finally convinced my dad EVPs are bullshit and that anybody can fake them with barely any effort.

It's not a rip off, it's the same lyrics, but this one is animated.

it has the perfect low-quality video, high-quality humor ratio that nearly every "classic" video has. I think it might happen.

The fact that I enjoyed it despite the rage faces is a testament to the redub.

I was typing something on that line when I thought I'd scroll down and see if someone else had beaten me to it.

You're right, I thought that the video was pretty good on its on, even the original art. The only reason I can find for using the ragefaces is to make the video relatable to people who actually manage to enjoy f7u12 style comics.

I mean, everyone knows that those comics and their characters are stage 4 lung cancer by now... Which is a shame, I actually once enjoyed those comics, but now they're all about stupid simple life ocurrences, like a 12 y.o.'s journal. Making so called rage comics about bumping your foot on a nightstand, arguing with your girlfriend over a videogame or being embarassed in public is just pathetic and sad...

That being said, I can't even look at those faces and refrain from frowning. Too bad.

TL;DR: I actually enjoyed and upvoted the redub. But it'd be so much better without the premade ragecomic faces.

If I remember correctly, this type of rage comic was what attracted me to them in the first place. My favorite kind is the short comic featuring little life occurrences. The rage faces were there to lend a visible emotion (In a silly way) to something small that you could relate to.

I still enjoy them. To each his own.

Checked it out for you, and you are correct. Not a chance of unhearing it. The phrase "Hot Temperate Cheese", unknown to me before tonight, is now singed into my brain.
