Obi Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I prefer a lot of other songs on Hullaballoo but it's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandaman37 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 mm i loove this song. i love the lyrics.. and the fact that it was used for advertising 28 weeks later (favorite movie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternallymused Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Love for that little interlude then the shrieking. I can't believe I used to skip it! I always listen to my ipod really loud when I'm on the bus because it's so noisy so whenever the shrieking part comes around the people sitting around me get to hear it all:LOL: Also, an interesting fact: the universe is constantly expanding (it never shrinks:eek:) I learned this in science a while ago;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couchy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I like the arpeggios, as is customary for me and any muse song with arpeggios. On a scale of 1 to Musetastic it's probably a 27, and it is a bit underrated I like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turing Machinehead Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I can sing it the whole way through, its actually an easy song. Not really, it's quite easy. Is it a range issue or is it just too hard to hit the notes. Oh for crap's sake you guys! I have to go try this thing now …...... (5 mins later after having barfed up a lung, killed the entire native bird population in my suburb and disturbed the neighbour so much that she phoned for the little white van to come take her away....) I can sing the whole thing too apparently if I cheat and sing the cool screamy bit an octave lower and ignore the fact it sounds pretty daft sung in my whiny little Kiwi accent and in my own style which is completely incongruous to Matt's. Almost defeats the point by turning it into a completely different song! But you're partly right Raining_M. I'm an alto and don't have a particularly huge range (or desire to acquire one). I'm picking you're a soprano. Maybe you could stick your version on YouTube with your other stuff! Shame about the birds. Poor things. I'll refrain from sticking my version on YouTube otherwise more stuff might die. This version by a demented cat sounds pretty close to mine though: Cat sings Shrinking Universe Great Gig in the Sky...I've never attempted it, and I don't think I'll be able to. Plus my dad wants me to play it on piano (ever seen the sheet music for it? THAT is mental. At least at my skill level). No I haven't seen that. Does it have Clare Torry's part on it? Bet that would've been a bitch to transcribe. What the hell would you write for the lyrics? “Ooh aah ooh aah?” Can you play it? I don't play the piano very often so the only time I read piano music is to page turn for someone else's classical gigs. And the closest I get to playing anything like Rick Wright is by sticking my elbows on the keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd_Rather_Dance Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Matt's shrieking/yelling thing at the end gives me friggin goosebumps every single time I listen to that song (and I listen to it quite regularly)! Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper_chondriac_muser Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 ^ Exactly, it's just fucking awesome! One of their finest b-sides. Prob my 3rd or 4th fave. I <3333 it!

Turing Machinehead Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 but you're a MACHINE HEAD HAND Well technically speaking I'm a “Turing Machine” Hand and a Turing Machine is by definition a thought experiment so I only exist in my imagination which is inside my brain which is made of stuff that gets tired! And no one can know if I will ever stop calculating and reach Halt state. So I could be doomed to count indefinitely!!! Damn you Alan Turing! Well, at least until I change my avatar. (And just in case anyone wonders if I've been smoking something illegal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem ) Just for the hell of it here's a Turing Machine that would print “Muse Muse Muse Muse” indefinitely on a blank tape (hopefully unless I made a mistake). (Current state, Tape symbol read, Print-operation, Tape-motion, Final state) a blank PM, L b b blank Pu, L c c blank Ps, L d d blank Pe, L e e blank Pblank, L a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
