Underworld Lyric "nigga nigga white thing.." repeat.. - can anyone explain meaning?

[milesy]

i agree.

i used to love dubnobasswithmyheadman, but it sounds terribly dated these days.

mind you, is used to love loads of shite...

i still think it's brilliant. but then it might just be cos i'm terribly dated.

thinking about it, most of it is pretty good - M.E and rivers of bass could do with jettisoning, mind...

<dumps pieface>

 

[ska invita]

I hate that fucking tune. I mean really hate it.

Me too - but having just read the lyrics its gone up in my estimation no end - all I heard before was "boy" and larger" repeated over and over again.
Good lyrics I think - like a manky brit version of Burroughs.

Not my thing though, UNderworld - dance music for people who dont really like dance music, seems like.

UNderworld - dance music for people who dont really like dance music, seems like.

Underworld - dance music for people that don't like any music.

(Rez/Cowgirl apart)

 

[ouchmonkey]

to be tedious about it.........

Karl used to write down stuff he overheard wandering about in Soho
they'd record it.

Emerson would cut up the vocals

repeat etc til everyone thinks it sounds pretty good

and you're left with total gibberish. fine

as a way of writing lyrics for dance music i think it's perfect no?

 

[souljacker]

I'll put my hand up and admit to hearing it as 'nigga' not 'mega', but I think I sussed it out pretty quickly.

Especially when they did it on top of the pops and a million billion people never complained.

heh @ thread co z i founds it.

Not yet - next Friday (well I'm going in to be induced on Thursday evening so pray he turns up on Friday )

 

[*Miss Daisy*]

I'm going all gooey thinking of baby.

How did you know? They're all folded and everything

You're hiding in the cupboard in the baby's room aren't you?

 

[sam/phallocrat]

born slippy is amazing, though the schranz (very hard german techno) remix is even better, very 21st century

 

[Agent Sparrow]

I'm terrible at hearing lyrics right and even I knew it was "mega mega"!

Though I did think Micheal Jackson was singing "dinner, dinner night" for more time than I'd really like to admit.

 

[ddraig]

ohdearohdearohdear

 

[sojourner]

You're hiding in the cupboard in the baby's room aren't you?

Heh, I remember doing that too (the babygro thing, not the spying!)

 

[sojourner]

Top thread btw I'd leave never to return if I'd publicly humiliated myself that badly

I love Born Slippy too - takes me right back, going fucking mental to it with all me mates

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Darren Emerson gave me my drug and dance music epiphany so I'll always have a soft spot for him.

i'm with you on that one - he did a set at a festie in early 90's that was one of the best nights of my life, think it was a phoenix festival iirc. he was on fire

 

[ohmyliver]

Not my thing though, UNderworld - dance music for people who dont really like dance music, seems like.

and, lets face it, Sabres of Paradise were better...

allthough I now work directly underneath Tomato

 

[free spirit]

I hate that fucking tune. I mean really hate it.

*put's PieEye on ignore

 

[Bomber]

Just call me dated !

Underworld are 'Mega, Mega' so ........

 

[Pieface]

Karl used to write down stuff he overheard wandering about in Soho

as a way of writing lyrics for dance music i think it's perfect no?

a fine way as long as you weren't living where I was when they wrote it.

"moo"

"bark"

"door"

"car"

"bus"

"moo"

Though I did think Micheal Jackson was singing "dinner, dinner night" for more time than I'd really like to admit.

Librarian Girl anyone?

 

[pk]

One of the best recordings ever made, and more to do with alcohol than drugs... I think they made some of the most important dance music ever concieved.

Born Slippy quite literally saved my life when I was a DJ up north over ten years ago, but that's another story...

 

[trashpony]

Darren Emerson made my Glasto 2005 Saturday night

 

[psycherelic]

Oh noes!

 

[Dask]

Are you taking the piss?

 

[kyser_soze]

Fucking genius mis-heard lyric to a song I can now just about listen to. The main issue I had/have with Born Slippy is that it marked the point where the lager drinking masses finally crashed the dance party, and all on the back of it being (over)used in a film soundtrack - I mean how long has it been doing the rounds in the clubs etc before it went massive? Then it went wall-to-wall airplay and most people I know who loved it pre-Trainspotting ended up hating it.

Brilliant band tho - Rez/Cowgirl, Pearl's Girl and Moaner are some of my tiptop dance tunes.

I can't remember it at all - all I can recall is thinking "not....getting.....tired......can.....dance......forever.......!"
