Soul Splint Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I was expecting it to be funny; I was not expecting the dude to be able to blow like that. Good stuff. Quote

Gollgagh Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 well that's what my first thought was and my second was wondering if I watched the same video that he did Quote
Gollgagh Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Obviously, I'd just never encountered that usage, and I sing a lot. And quite frankly, I dislike it, but whatever. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 He was obviously using blow to refer to singing, it just sounds weird is all. Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 He was obviously using blow to refer to singing, it just sounds weird is all. Still doesn't make it appear good at all though, as it seems to imply the singer's just a blowhard making noises that are utterly tolerable to listen to the way I interpret it. That and it's terrible to encourage the way it's used; way too easy to misunderstand others using it that way. That said, the singing's not bad at all, would have actually preferred traditional instruments behind that voice as it actually sounds good. Quote
Soul Splint Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 I did not mean to hijack the thread with what I thought was a pretty common musical verb. Blow=sing like a champ. I retract my previous statement and hereby replace it with "My, that gentleman must have the lungs of a sperm whale and the vibrato of a farting hippopotamus, for he doth sing much better than mine ears expected." No less crude, but at least this one can't be misconstrued. Quote
evory Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Slang in one place is pretty routinely met with quizzical stares in another, but that's what you get in a forum that connects the corners of the world, if a sphere can be thought of as having corners. In any case, I really enjoyed the video, it's one of the rare attempts at video game comedy that doesn't rely too much on camp. Quote

Gario Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Okay, now I want to see Das Rheingold as an NES game. If someone arranged that as an NES soundtrack I would orgasm a little. Quote
