    - I can't get anything from that lyric sample. Anything else? Male singer, female? More lyrics? Hum a few bars? -- nm - TWuG Jun 14, 21:09 4
      - hee. i tried googling myself before i asked. i was hoping someone might just know it. (male voice, and i wish i remembered more.) -- nm - b! Jun 14, 21:15 3
        
        Now your only option is to listen to KFOG until they play it again. - Omega Jun 14, 22:35
        
        What about this? -- (link) - TWuG Jun 14, 21:21 [youtube] 1

Looks like my little girl is getting a pony. Arrived from WV early, early this morning. Pending a vet check showing no issues, she'll be hers. - TWuG Jun 14, 20:47 10

- Have they corrected the subtitle problem yet? -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 20:42 25
  - is it less boring with the correct subtitles? -- nm - dug Jun 14, 20:48 22
    - actually, yes. extremely. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 20:51 21
      - honestly, it didn't need them at all, imho. -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 20:53 20
        
        it didn't need a script and words? yes it did. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 20:55 19
        
        sure, it just didn't need them to be in English for the film to have the impact that it did. -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 20:58 18
        
        you can speak Swedish? that's amazing. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 21:02 16
        
        Are you being this obtuse on purpose? Or does it come so easily to you that do you do it without even thinking about it? -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 21:06 15
        
        i'm not the one claiming the movie didn't need any words. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 21:13 14
        
        He's saying that you could watch the movie in Swedish, and, without understanding a single word, the film would still be effective and impactful. - Omega Jun 14, 21:14 12
        
        still be *as* effective? so like, i could either hear the script, or i couldn't, and identical takeaway? - TFox Jun 14, 21:17 5
        
        I never suggested watching it on mute, if that's what you're saying. -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 21:26 4
        
        no, i know. because you at least need that Swedish inflection. - TFox Jun 14, 21:27 3
        
        there you go, being gratuitously obtuse again. - znufrii Jun 14, 21:28 2
        
        Is the point, if I am correct, that the movie would work just as well as intended without any interpreted script, not knowing one word that was said? - TFox Jun 14, 21:32 1
        
        well, considering this is the closest you've come so far to actually portraying my stated opinion with even the slightest bit of accuracy... - znufrii Jun 14, 21:36
        
        Yeah, but I think TFox is being obtuse on purpose. Get's znu all het up. -- nm - TWuG Jun 14, 21:15 5
        
        naturally, but he's really trying too hard on this one... -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 21:16 4
        
        here's my analogy: people tend to not like watching movies in fullscreen, because they miss part of the intended shot. - TFox Jun 14, 21:18 3
        
        except film is as much, if not more so, a visual medium as it is a literary one. The visuals should be just as effective in conveying meaning - znufrii Jun 14, 21:24
        
        "A picture is worth a thousand words" - TWuG Jun 14, 21:23 1
        
        if intended that way, sure. -- nm - TFox Jun 14, 21:23
        
        neither was I... - znufrii Jun 14, 21:14
