Horst Wessel Lied Version 5

is that like the dancefloor remix or the chill-out version ?

I don't know. But since I couldn't find the one with "Funky Drummer," I settled. It's probably the So So Def remix, feat. Jermaine Dupri, just, you know, going by the odds.
______________

Really, though: The only versions on YouTube that didn't come with very ostentatious Ein-Volk-ein Reich-ein-Führer slideshows fully en suite happened to be the seven posted by the person who (presumably) owns the .78 with seven versions of the "Horst-Wessel Lied" shown spinning round and round in the video that I did post.

I wasn't posting it in a spirit of endorsement or enthusiasm or anything. The reverse, in fact. It's still offensive, though. And also unnecessary. So I'm going to go change it for something with...um, a little less bass on those 88s right now, this moment.

C2W, I thought the Horst Wessel song was because you wanted us to make you the beloved martyr and icon of RI , and come up with a stirring battle hymn of our own, galvanize the movement, and start taking over the beer halls.

compared2what
you kookoo nut
you march beside us near
so fast so smart
both sweet and tart
for you we'll spill the beer

I think an off-hand Tony Bennett or Bobby Darin style with appropriate BAMs for emphasis will first terrify...then enliven the lumpen and attract them to our cause.

Hey, Uncle $cam!

Honestly, I think you must have the most truly international taste in pop music of any poster on the board. You should really consider posting translations for some of them, though. I mean, it would be a shame if someone wasn't able to fully savor the feasts you serve up just because they didn't know enough German and/or French and/or Italian to appreciate all the sauces, garnishes and other nuanced accents.

Here. I'll do one for you, just to help get the ball rolling.

Wir Sind Wir

Day by day, year by year
When I'm walking along this street
I'm seeing the ruins crowding up to houses

Many windows still stay empty
There was no return for many people
About the things what just happened
No one speaks about it anymore

But I'm still asking who we are

We're what we are
We're standing here
Divided, defeated and else
We are still alive!

We're what we are
We're standing here
It can't be over yet
No time for sadness
We're what we are
We're standing here
We're what we are

We thought 'resurrection from the ruins'
Dreams had to come true
40 years of united power
We made ashes into gold

Now everything changed
Things from the past are worthless today
Now we can get everything
But didn't we want more than that?

And I'm asking where we are

We're what we are
We're standing here
Reunited in one country
Rich and burned out

We're what we are
We're standing here
we're not going down
No time to be angry
We're what we are
We're standing here
We're what we are

We're what we are
Divided, defeated and else
Finally, we still exist!

We're what we are
We will get over it
Because life has to go on

We're what we are
This is just a bad phase
We will never give up!

Inspiring. Truly.

One can only hope that all those whiners who made it into such a big fucking controversy back when it came out can be made to see the error of their ways someday, am I right?

You should probably do the Paolo Conte translation yourself, though. Because no arguing about tastes, needless to say. But personally, I think it sounds way too slobberingly vulgar already. Sort of like listening to some loser jerking off while looking at Cosmopolitan Magazine covers from the 1980s or something.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Takes all kinds. I just don't find it interesting, myself. So naturally, the lyrics only make it duller, from my point of view.

That reminds me: If you really have to be such an asshole all the time, could you at least try to be a little less tedious about it?

Because speaking strictly for myself, if I wanted to not-cower before the dull blade od someone whose idea of hitting me with his best shot was posting an ostentatiously superfluous picture of a G.G. Allin figurine wearing a jockstrap that said "Eat me," I'd go hang out at South Hadley High School.

But whatever. I won't be around for more than another day or two anyway. So it's just a suggestion. Feel free to keep getting down with your bad self according to whatever routine and predictable formula floats your boat.

I mean, I don't like you anyway, why should you listen to me?

[Uncle $cam]

I wish I would have met you, now it's a little late. What you could have taught me, I could've saved some face. They think that your early ending was all wrong; or the most part they're right,
but look how they all got strung.

That's why I say,...

but look how they all got strung.

That's why I say,...

(1) First of all, it's never acceptable to suggest suicide to someone. And that is: Not ever. It's not even protected speech, as a matter of fact, since it's not actually speech. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's a felony. In any event, although I imagine that the reason it's not a board rule is the natural assumption that nobody needs to be told not to do that, I guess maybe it ought to be.

I mean, seriously. You have no way of knowing how hard that particular shot might hit me. And there have been times in my life when it might well have hit me hard enough to move me off the ledge that I was already sitting on for reasons unrelated to you. I don't happen to be at one of those times now so, you know: Sorry!

That shit's just not cool, though. Irrespective.

(2) Hey, did you know that Jeff once posted that song (to this thread, here), in a context in which it was hi-fucking-larious? The reason I ask is:

(3) Is there something about the not-so-tedious-and-predictably-routine thing that you didn't quite get, you smugly crypto-Nazi jack-off? Either say it straight out, or show a little enterprise, for fuck's sake.

There's nothing more mind-numbingly dull than a dog-whistled "Fuck you."

Also, btw, I meant what I said on the thread I started on Sunday.

So if you have an honest grievance with me, please, please do not be shy but rather speak the fuck up. I will make amends to you as best I can, if it's at all possible for me to honestly do so. And I vow so solemnly, as a woman of honor. Because I really don't seek to aggrieve people. And I really do try to make reparations when I have.

Okay? I swear it.

[compared2what?]

Quite apart from which:

I'd much, much much rather admit to and address my real faults, however horrible they are, than just keep playing some bullshit puerile game where first you try to antagonize me enough to get a response; then you maintain that you didn't even do anything (just as unswervingly as you might if it really were actually plausibly deniable); and then make -- and when possible -- reinforce -- the impression that I'm a hysterical, self-involved bitch who just flies off the handle out of pure lunatic cuntiness on a regular basis.

Because I am telling you. That is so fucking boring to me at this point that public pillorying would be a welcome change of pace.

Although, to be fair, by the same token, you're certainly not the first nor the only nor even the most active poster here who's worked -- and really pretty successfully, too, congratulations, everyone! -- regularly to put me in a position where my only two choices are either (a) to swallow an insult and feel like shit; or (b) react in a way that eventually, if repeated often enough, will inevitably end up making me look like the one who's always aggressively making trouble and starting fights. In fact, I not only vividly remember when those maneuvers first began, I remember the who-what-when-where-and-why's of them so vividly that if I knew how to make a flow-chart and wasn't seeking not to aggrieve people, I'd go post it in the data-dump.

Anyway. I don't hold that against you. Or against anyone. It was genuinely an enlightening, enriching and informative experience for me, albeit not exactly what you could call a fun one. I'm not everyone's cup of tea in real life. But I've never really been socially unpopular before. I'm just not temperamentally and habitually unpleasant enough for that. Or interesting enough, for that matter. I was, in point of fact, well enough regarded here that it took many months of pummeling to recast me as the eccentric and hot-headed quasi-leper I am now. So please do accept my thanks for your part in it.

Although I've gotta say, FYI: I'm both very glad and very grateful not to have had to deal with roving packs of anonymous double-dealing bullies when I was still young enough frequently and/or continuously to be anxiously unsure about who I was to be wounded by it. So, you know. You all might want to be careful about where you point that thing in the future, is I guess what I'm saying.

And blah, blah, blah. Long story short: The reason that I don't like you is that you fuck with me all the time. And while you may have a good reason for doing so, I genuinely don't know what it is. And furthermore, I would genuinely very much like to learn it. Because for one thing, until you started doing it, I didn't even have a very clear idea of who you were and what your deal was. So it certainly would never have occurred to me to be as hostile to you as I went on to be, had you not been making a point of slinging underhanded shit at me for....

....Well. For however long it's been since I called you out on the hypocritical pretext you decided to use when it was your turn to step up to the plate and do what you could to add to the systematically and artificially induced atmosphere of tension, discord and trumped-up resentment against Jeff (and other unspecified-because-non-existent "behind-the-scenes" RI powers) that was stinking the place up back sometime around when we moved house.

Which kind of leaves me in an awkward and seemingly self-contradictory place, vis-a-vis gracefully concluding the thought I was in the middle of just a paragraph or so ago. Because I guess that my having pointed to your manifest insincerity could be your reason for thenceforth going out of your way to fuck with me. I mean, if you were a totally petty and small-minded jerk, anyway. And obviously, I do know of it.

But whatever. I did say a good reason, after all.

So if you have one, please, just spit it out, please. I promise that I'll do everything within my power to subjugate myself to you, kow-tow, and -- in general -- express my shame for whatever it was that I did to you that was so far out of line that you take pleasure in the thought of my self-destruction.

Because, seriously, Uncle $cam. I'm honestly horrified by the thought that, unbeknownst to me, I might have committed something close enough to a near-criminal outrage against you to justify the ugly personal animosity without which I'd just have abolutely no clue at all that I might have done whatever vile thing it is that I might have done.

I therefore humbly beg your indulgence. Have mercy on a putatively corrupt and twisted soul, will ya?

Thanks.

Jesus Christ on a paradolia ham sandwhich, none of the youtube vids I have posted were, as Jeff recently accused me of in pm, "link-bating", nor an attempt to convey anything, though after being accused of it, and looking back over them I could see that it could be interpreted in that way, if your paranoid. Not that being paranoid is a bad thing, hell, I'm as they come, but I have never ever been a fan of online games, of any sort, I have never played arg, or wow, or any of them type psychological games. Just never had any interest. So I can't understand how someone could think that at all. It's not worth my time. As I ve said before, I'm a political junkie, not a virtual reality game player. But you guys go ahaead and beilieve what you will, because, you will anyway. Which puts me in a no win situatation, EVEN THOUGH I NOT PLAYING A GAME AND NEVER HAVE. Now, I'm second guessing stuff to post, (will it offend someone, will it be mis-interpreted) fuck it.

I just looked at five fucking videos thinking to post and ALL of them could be seen in such a way as to be something they are not if your thinking they are an attempt to convey whatever twisted signal one is looking for....
