In the noble tradition of De clunibus magnis amandis oratio (Baby Got Back), I bring you:
Gelu, O Gelu, Cara
VANILLÆ GELUS
doo doo doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
doo doo doo, doo-doo-doo-doo...
Etenim, siste, me iuva, auscultaque
(Indeed: Halt, aid me, and take heed)
Gelu redivit cum inventione novissima
(Frost has returned with a very new invention)
Nescioquid me constringit
(Something constrains me)
Fluo ceu hasta baleanarum necandarum noctu et quotidie
(I flow in the manner of a whale-killing spear daily and by night)
Umquam hoc desistetne? Ego dubito.
(Shall this ever cease? I myself doubt it.)
Lucernis restinctis luceam
(When the lamps are extinguished I shall shed light)
Ad ultimum flecto microphonem ut vandal
(I bend the microphone to the furthest point like a Germanic tribesman)
Scenam illumino et ineptum incero etsi candelam faciam
(I brighten the stage and cover an inept man in wax as if I were making a taper)
Salta, rue ad originem sonituum resonantium
(Dance, hasten to the source of resounding noises)
Sic cerebrum tuum laedo quomodo Claudium Imperatorem Agrippina Neroque interfecrunt
(I am wounding your brain in the manner that Agrippina and Nero killed the Emperor Claudius)
Letalis sum, quando cantum validum modulor
(I am fatal when I warble a hearty tune)
Quicquid peius optimo nefas
(Anything worse than the best is blasphemy)
Aut id ama aut discede, gravitatem tuam augere oportet
(Either love it or leave, you ought to increase your weightiness)
Debes tendere sagittam ad volucrem traiecto in fune columbam infans negat
[You ought to aim for the dove hoisted on the rope* the child refuses]
Si quaestio exsisteret, solutionem offerem
[If there were a debate I should offer a solution]
Carmen meum probas dum discafer meus revolvit
(Evaluate my refrain while my disk-bearer revolves)
Gelu, O Gelu, Cara
[Frost. O, Frost, Darling!]
*-Virgil, Æneid VI.
very nicely done!
I thought you meant THIS Latin.
LOL
Heh. :)
I remember the other thread.
What a hoot that was!
Thanks for the ping!
"Letalis sum, quando cantum validum modulor
(I am fatal when I warble a hearty tune)"
LOL! I kill people when I sing, too. ;o)
LOL!
Now, THAT'S funny. ;o)
Love it!
I've got stubs from concerts I've been to. Could they actually be worth money?
But how do you say, "Word to your mutha" in Latin?
I don't know about that.
The Milli Vanilli ones could be of value because of the controversy and the fact that the concert was cancelled due to it.
I was more into Boy George I'm still kidding!
I was into this guy's music
I have absolutely no idea who that is.
Sorry. I was fooling around. It's the mugshot for Alex lifeson of Rush. He was arrested on assault charges recently.
Thank you so much for the ping. This is hysterical!!
It's hard to pick out my favorite line, but "I bend the microphone to the furthest point like a Germanic tribesman" and "I am wounding your brain in the manner that Agrippina and Nero killed the Emperor Claudius" are in the lead.
Listen!: Vice Vice Baby
I'm on top of that one, fer certain.
No amateurs, please. Send FReepmail if you want on/off ISHP list |
