ENTER SOUNDMAN Lyrics... woo hoo etc

[dan weapon]

Lyrics are subject to change.... but thought I would get them up for scrutiny as it seems people are quite eager about this. The sandman lyrics were hard as fuck to parody, especially as I tried to make this lot more accessible for none-sound engineers. There's a few good lines here and there though. I might alter some of the choruses for variation, but we'll see. It's mostly from the perspective of Rick speaking to Ted about loudness for money's sake. Opening few lines are from Lars, and then some of the other verses are from a listener's point of view.

Sing along with it rather than read it, and it should make more sense.


ENTER SOUNDMAN

‘Hey, who cares – fans are wrong
Just compress my songs
To improve every one’

'Fuck hearing', warns Rubin
Keep your ear-plugs in
Now the soundman, he comes…

Cheap and sounding broken
Clipping your records, right

Cheque’s in sight
Jensen's plight
’Shake my hand…
We're paid to ruin another band’

Somethings wrong, snare sounds shite
Heavy chords sound too bright
Loudness war hits new heights

dB more, dBs higher
Seems my walkman’s on fire
Where’s my consumer rights?

Cheap and sounding broken
Clipping your records, right

Cheque’s in sight
Jensen's plight
’Shake my hand…
We're paid to ruin another band’

Now I play me Judas Kiss
Play it loud, it sounds like piss
If I'm deaf before I wake
Blame the ‘loud’ for this mistake

Push every fader, mix sounds like turd
And maximise each noise you heard
Its just our rep-utations, Ted…
Tinnitus is in your head!

Cheque’s in sight
Jensen's plight
Gain demand

Cheque’s in sight
Jensen's plight
Shake my hand…
We're paid to ruin another band’

 

[F.E.T]

Fantastic!

 

[Machinated]

It begins.......again

Absolutely fucking incredible Dan, seriously raising the bar here. Really loved this one.

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Hahahaha, priceless!

 

[robfromthedeep]

hahahaha!

Fucking brilliant Dan!

 

[Zack Uidl]

well done hahahahah

 

[Metaltastic]

Fantastic dude, though I feel the first couple of stanzas are a bit "eh" - I don't really think Rubin would "warn" "fuck hearing," maybe just "says" would make more sense. Everything after is absolute gold though, great job man!

 

[abyssofdreams]

OMG, you've surpassed yourself, is that even remotely possible

 

[DominikJW]

My walkman's on fire great stuff Dan, this needs to be recorded!

 

[Skinny Viking]

Hahahaha!

"Jensen's plight"

that line alone sold me

Cheers!

 

[EerieVon]

totally fantastic

 

[Felix Neumann]

Fuckin´awesome, man ! I love this shit

 

[Skinny Viking]

if I might make a suggestion for down the road when this is being mixed ... the whole bit with:

Now I play me Judas Kiss
Play it loud, it sounds like piss
If I'm deaf before I wake
Blame the ‘loud’ for this mistake

maybe it would be pretty funny for when each line is repeated it is completely blown out and clipped sounding

Normal = "Now I play me Judas Kiss"
Repeat = "NOW I PLAY ME JUDAS KISS!!!!"

so on and so on

Just an idea

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Great job, Dan!
