Are you white?

Having trouble understanding Lil’ Wayne’s newest lyrics? Sure you can hear what he says in his crazy ass robot voice, but do you know what he truly means? You white folk may hear something, but he is saying something entirely different. Yes, that is possible.

Lets take this line for example from his song Carter II.

they trace ya after I erase ya

I’ll give you a second to figure that one out…. Is Lil’ Wayne an artist erasing a piece of work he did not approve of? Well, sort of. Here is the explanation from UnderstandRap.com:

It’s common practice at crime scenes to trace a corpse with chalk to mark its position so it can be removed from the area and investigation can continue into the cause of death. Wayne is saying he will erase (kill) you and your body will soon be traced.

There you go white boy, that should help you next time you are in the club and can explain to the hot chick next to you what he meant. Not that she will care or be able to understand your drunk ass. So Go Get ‘em.

Forgotten Song, Video

Forgotten Song of the Moment

Welcome to another edition of Forgotten Song of the Moment. The featured song TCM is bringing you is one that you didn’t survive more than a few days of airplay in 1994, but it has been engrained in the Captain’s domes for 15 years.

Without further delay, we present you with “Lucas with the lid off”:

Who is Lucas and why is his lid off? What does any of the words in this song actually mean? We have no clue and neither do you. Lucas’s full name is Lucas Secon and unbeknownst to the Captain’s, his father founded Pottery Barn. Yes, that Pottery Barn – the mall deathtrap for any man that sacks up and does the mall trip with their girlfriend or wife.

Secon’s musical career ended after this song and it’s no surprise. If you make music no one can understand or even sing along to, you’re probably going to fail as a musician. Some of the shittiest rock bands, such as Poison, Warrant, the Damn Yankees, Bon Jovi, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Ratt, Motley Crue, and Def Leopard, mad millions by making bad music, but had very catchy lyrics. Lucas, if you’re out there and reading this, we suggest you take a page out of these guys’ books and try the same thing.

All the same, TCM salutes you Lucas for blowing your lid off and providing us with this song no one can interpret or even understands what it’s all about.

Vote for Change

The Vote for Change Tour as seen through the eyes of Pearl Jam. This may be a little late (about 4 months or so), but it’ll get you thinking about life, patriotism, and rock music. We can’t host it on TCM, but it’s definitely worth kicking back, having a beer, and watching.

Bonus: The Captain’s were at the Boston show and don’t remember any of it.

Pedder-Ass: The Revenge

Well, looks like Jesus Quintana has some competition for the spotlight.

michael jackson Pedder Ass: The Revenge

Its official, as of today Miss Michael Jackson is going to tour again for 10 shows beginning July of this year. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first (most likely not).

Here at TCM, we are going to have a pool running on how many shows will be canceled or how many times MJ will passout/faint.  Be sure to get to your local bookie to place bets.

I wonder if Blanket will be joining him?  Anyways, if you are a die hard MJ fan like we are not, then head on over to this guys website: http://www.michaeljackson.com to get more info.

If you are wondering why I did not put a current picture of MJ up, because I get extremely nauseous every time I see his ghoulish face.

Forgotten Song of the Moment

Remember that song you couldn’t stop listening to for a straight week? Well, TCM is going begin bringing those songs back.  Why? Because it makes us stop and say, “What the fuck! I can’t believe that was once popular!”

Talk about a random song, do you remember “Scatman” by Scatman John?  This song came out of no where in 1995 and took pop culture by hostage. It was huge, not Macerana huge, more Billy Fuccillo huge.  No offense to Scatman John (RIP), but we don’t see how a sound about poop (“scat” = n. the excrement of an animal) could become so big.  Also, we don’t understand why John pretty much named himself “Poopman” either.

Forgot the song? Check it out:

We hope you enjoy Forgotten Song of the Moment and if you have ideas for songs, be sure to leave comments. We’ve been breakdancing all day since we broke “Scatman” out of the vault.

Underrated

The Most Underrated Musical Instruments

Today I would like to begin a new series at TCM called “The Most Underrated Musical Instruments“.  I don’t really need to explain since the title is pretty self-explanatory.

I figured I would start this series off with an instrument that has been around for centuries.  As a matter of fact, we all probably own one.  What am I speaking of you ask?  The jug.

fav 6346 The Most Underrated Musical Instruments

This instrument requires little to no skill to play.  All you need is A, a jug and B, some lung capacity.  If you are a heavy smoker though, consider yourself not worthy, speed up the process of you dying and go jump off a bridge already (Except for you Jimmy J…we love you).  If you are not a smoker, and posses both of those attributes, then we can continue.

Pick up the jug…go ahead, its not gonna bite. Position it at a 45 degree angle from your mouth, like Skinny Santa to the left.  Instead of blowing like you would into a bottle, buzz your lips like you are playing a didgeridoo (Cause you know, we have all attempted to play that sometime in our lives. And yes, you can expect that in a future memo).  Or if you have never played a didgeridoo before, pretend you are motorboating your best friends mom’s chest.

You can make different sounds that come out by changing the tightness of your lips.  An oldie but goodie is to constantly make a higher pitch sound and then go directly to a lower pitch sound and repeat.  If you do not understand, then picture the music that would go along with an extremely tall skinny fellow squatting then standing repeatedly.  Still not getting it?  Well, then your retarded.

If you have been living in a cave your whole life or are deaf and have never heard what a jug sounds like, please take a minute out of your day to listen to this jug duet.  Edit* Deaf people will still not be able to hear what a jug sounds like…sorry for the confusion folks.

Jug Duet by “…and the Leasebreakers”
