Song O Teh Week - Riptide

Sorry about this being a day behind, but you guys know me: I'm always a day late and a dollar short.

Song O Teh Week - Twisted Christmas Edition

As I mentioned here, Friday night saw me ten feet back from the stage for 98.9 The Rock's TWISTED CHRISTMAS. And oh, how nice it was. Adelitas Way, Sick Puppies, Papa Roach, and Breaking Benjamin. They all put on a hell of a show, with Sick Puppies and Papa Roach getting the crowd worked up into a hellacious mosh pit, and Breaking Benjamin getting the entire theater to tremble with the sound of our screams.

So, because I had such a blast (as a few thousand other people), this week's Song O Teh Week brings you multiple songs - one from each band that was there. And no lyrics; you wanna know the words, go look 'em up yourself! Without further adieu...


Adelitas Way - Invincible




Sick Puppies - You're Going Down




Papa Roach - Hollywood Whore



Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow



I would give you the official videos for some of these songs, but embedding was disabled on them. Worry not, the songs are the same, but just... not... official?

I had a great time! Up until I got my nose broken by a crowd surfer's foot during Papa Roach, anyway. I was worn out after that, but still hollered as loud as I could when Breaking Benjamin took the stage, working the crowd into a full screaming frenzy.

Whoo. What fun.

Song O Teh Week - Evil Angel

Last night, I got a lovely phonecall from Former Roommate. He had come over earlier in the week to see if Redhead had wanted to go see Twisted Christmas with him, for he had an extra ticket. Redhead hemmed and hawed and did not want to provide a positive answer, for fear it would upset me because there was not one for me. Redhead eventually agreed to go with Former Roommate and his friend Jared, plus Jared's girlfriend. That was the end of it.

Former Roommate called me last night and told me to get a baby sitter, for I would be going to Twisted Christmas as well. Jared had broken up with his girlfriend, and there was a free ticket to be had. Yay!

Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach, Sick Puppies, and Adelitas Way make up this concert.

So, in honor of that, I bring you a Breaking Benjamin song. Not off their newest album, but a good one nonetheless.




Breaking Benjamin - Evil Angel

Hold it together, birds of a feather,
Nothing but lies and crooked wings.
I have the answer, spreading the cancer,
You are the faith inside me.

No, don't
Leave me to die here,
Help me survive here.
Alone, don't remember, remember.

Put me to sleep evil angel.
Open your wings evil angel.

A-ah.

I'm a believer,
Nothing could be worse,
All these imaginary friends.
Hiding betrayal,
Driving the nail,
Hoping to find a savior.

No, don't
Leave me to die here,
Help me survive here.
Alone, don't
Surrender, surrender.

Put me to sleep evil angel.
Open your wings evil angel.

Oh.
Fly over me evil angel.
Why can't I breathe evil angel?

Put me to sleep evil angel.
Open your wings evil angel.

Oh.
Fly over me evil angel.
Why can't I breathe evil angel?

Song O Teh Week - Fuck You

To celebrate the end of Hug-A-Gay Month (thanks for random info, Facebook!), I bring you a song saying 'Fuck You' to bigots and close-minded fools.



Lily Allen - Fuck You

Look inside,
Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
Cause we're so uninspired,
so sick and tired of all the
hatred you harbor

So you say
It's not okay to be gay
Well I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who
can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Do you get,
Do you get a little kick out of
being slow minded?
You want to be like your father
It's approval your after
Well that's not how you find it

Do you,
Do you really enjoy living a
life that's so hateful?
Cause there's a hole where
your soul should be
Your losing control of it and
it's really distasteful

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don't
translate and it's getting
quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you,
Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you,
Fuck yooooou

You say
You think we need to go to war
well you're already in one
Cause it's people like you
who need to get slew
No one wants your opinion

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don't
translate and it's getting
quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck you, Fuck you

Song O Teh Week - Indestructible

This week's Song O Teh Week is "Indestructible", by Disturbed. A little bit newer, heavier, and angrier on the sound it is.

This song is being played in honor of my adopted big brother, Dragonslayer: Army soldier, young man, godfather to my son. I haven't seen him in a year and a half, because he has been doing his duty and fighting over in Iraq. Come December 14th, he'll be flying home for a month-long furlough, and I can't wait to see him and introduce him to his precious little red-haired godson.

This one's for you, Dragonslayer!



Indestructible - Disturbed

Another mission
The powers have called me away
Another time
To carry the colors again
My motivation
An oath I've sworn to defend
To win the honor
Of coming back home again
No explanation
Will matter after we begin
Another dark destroyer that's buried in me
My true vocation
And now my unfortunate friend
You will discover
A war you're unable to win

I'll have you know
That I've become...

Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war

Another reason
Another cause for me to fight
Another fuse uncovered
Now, for me to light
My dedication
To all that I've sworn to protect
I carry out my orders
With out a regret
A declaration
Embedded deep under my skin
A permanent reminder
Of how we began
No hesitation
When I am commanding the strike
You need to know
That you're in for the fight of your life

You will be shown
How I've become...

Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war

I'm...

Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I am indestructible (indestructible)

Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side
A terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war

Song O' Teh Week

To celebrate the upcoming holiday that we all know and love, Halloween, today's Song O' Teh Week is from a well-known and well-loved (in most circles, anyway) Halloween/Christmas movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

[EVERYONE]
La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween!
