@Stanzafly
@Stanzafly 2 года назад
@@trickytreyperfected1482 I think they're talking about the sliding he does in the middle of words. It's less of an uptick and more of a slide down. Ex. "SINCEere right NOow." At 1:17. Before he moves the pitch down, Frank will sometimes extend the first syllable "high" note for a fraction longer before he moves down and that slight "lag" is really recognizably Sinatra. He's not raising the pitch at all- he's just lagging a bit behind the instrumentation before he moves it downwards.

Jonathan Coulton is such a great song writer, his lyrics are so great and the music he writes so perfectly suits them! I think it's a testament to great song writing when someones song can be re-imagined in so many different ways and still stand up dramaturgically so the fact that it works so well in this style is really just more proof that he is an amazing writer!

This was a triumph I'm making a note here; "Huge success" It's hard to overstate My satisfaction Aperture Science: We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead But there's no sense crying Over every mistake You just keep on trying Till you run out of cake And the science gets done And you make a neat gun For the people who are Still alive I'm not even angry I'm being so sincere right now Even though you broke my heart, And killed me And tore me to pieces And threw every piece into a fire As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you Now, these points of data Make a beautiful line And we're out of beta We're releasing on time So I'm GLaD I got burned Think of all the things we learned- For the people who are Still alive Go ahead and leave me I think I'd prefer to stay inside Maybe you'll find someone else To help you? Maybe Black Mesa? That was a joke *Haha - Fat Chance* Anyway this cake is great It's so delicious and moist Look at me: still talking When there's science to do When I look out there, It makes me GLaD I'm not you I've experiments to run There is research to be done On the people who are Still alive And believe me I am Still alive I'm doing science and I'm Still alive I feel fantastic and I'm Still alive While you're dying I'll be Still alive And when you're dead I will be Still alive Still alive

Next they say you were conducting some Anomalous Material Research that could result in an Resonence Cascade. I’m shutting that down before you idiots end the world. A Resonance Cascade!
