The Bee Gees - I Started a Joke

Acho que essa é única música do Bee Gees que eu reconheço e talvez a única que eu goste. Engraça do que eu só conheci ela por causa de um cover do Faith No More, outra banda que não sou capaz de reconhecer nenhuma outra música. =)

Perform This Way (Parodia de "Born This Way" da Lady Gaga)

Gostei pra caramba dessa paródia que o Weird Al fez da música Born This Way da Lady Gaga:

Perform This Way

My mama told me when I was hatched
Act like a superstar
Save your allowance, buy a bubble dress
And someday you will go far
Now on red carpets, well, I'm hard to miss
The press follows everywhere I go
I'll poke your eye out with a dress like this
Back off and enjoy the show!

I'm sure my critics will say it's a grotesque display
Well, they can bite me, baby -- I perform this way
I might be wearin' Swiss cheese or maybe covered with bees
It doesn't mean I'm crazy -- I perform this way

Ooo, my little monsters pay... lots 'cause I perform this way
Baby, I perform this way
Ooo, don't worry, I'm okay... hey, I just perform this way
I'm not crazy, I perform this way

I'll be a troll or evil queen
I'll be a human jelly bean
'Cause every day is Halloween
For me...

I'm so completely original
My new look is all the rage
I'll wrap my small intestines 'round my neck
And set fire to myself on stage
Weird Al Yankovic Perform This Way lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/weird-al-yankovic-perform-this-way-lyrics.html

I'll wear a porcupine on my head
On a W-H-I-M
And for no reason now I'll sing in French
Excusez-moi, Qui a pété? (Who cut the cheese?)

Got my straight jacket today, it's made of gold lamé
No, not because I'm crazy - I perform this way
I strap prime rib to my feet, cover myself with raw meat
I'll bet you've never seen a skirt steak worn this way

Don't be offended when you see
My latest pop monstrosity
I'm strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarre
I'm Frankenstein, I'm Avatar
There's nothing too embarrassing
I'll honestly do anything
But wear white after Labor Day
'Cause baby, I perform this way

Hope you won't think it's cliché if I go nude today
Don't call the cops now, baby, I perform this way
No reason I should regret all the attention I get
I'm not completely crazy, I perform this way, yeah

I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey
I'm always deviating from the norm this way-hey
I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey
I'm really not insane -- I just perform this way-hey

Lady Gaga - Born This Way

Born This Way é o nome de uma música, e de um album, da Lady Gaga. Ela me chamou atenção por causa da introdução com tema syfy. Claro que a letra não está diretamente relacionada com a introdução alienígena, mas o ritmo ainda é muito bom e gostoso de ouvir. Confira o videoclipe abaixo e aproveite para ler a letra no final desse post.

Born This Way

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are"
She said, "'cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up, girl and you'll go far
Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be!

Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth

In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey, hey, hey)
I love my life, I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (love needs faith)

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were born this way

No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way

Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

I was born this way, hey!
I was born this way, hey!
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, hey!

I was born this way, hey!
I was born this way, hey!
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, hey!

Esqueci de falar no post anterior, mas a tirinha original, xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel foi baseada num vídeo da Discovery Channel. Esse vídeo:

Calculus Rhapsody

Calculus Rhapsody é mais um vídeo com música relacionada a matemática, a vergonha alheia é altíssima, mas até que letra ficou legal.

Calculus Rhapsody
Por Phil Kirk & Mike Gospel

Is this x defined?
Is f continuous?
How do you find out?
You can use the limit process.

Approach from both sides,
The left and the right and meet.
Im a just a limit, defined analytically

Functions continuous,
Theres no holes,
No sharp points,
Or asymptotes.

Any way this graph goes
It is differentiable for me for me.

All year, in Calculus
Weve learned so many things
About which we are going to sing

We can find derivatives
And integrals
And the area enclosed between two curves.

Y prime oooh
Is the derivative of y
Y equals x to the n, dy/dx
Equals n times x
To the n-1.

Other applications
Of derivatives apply
If y is divided or multiplied
You use the quotient
And product rules

And dont you forget
To do the dance

Also oooh (dont forget the chain rule)
Before you are done,
You gotta remember to multiply by the chain

(Instrumental solo)

I need to find the area under a curve
Integrate! Integrate! You can use the integration

Raise exponent by one multiply the reciprocal
Plus a constant
Plus a constant
Add a constant
Add a constant
Add a constant labeled C
(Labeled C-ee-ee-ee-ee)

Im just a constant
Nobody loves me.
Hes just a constant
Might as well just call it C 
Never forget to add the constant C

Can you find the area between f and g
In-te-grate f and then integrate g
(then subtract)
To revolve around the y-axis
(integrate)
outer radius squared minus inner radius squared
(multiplied)
multiplied by pi
(multiply)

Multiply the integral by pi!

Pi tastes real good with whipped cream!

Mama-Mia, Mama-Mia
Mama-Mia let me go.
Pre-calculus did not help me to prepare for Calculus, for Calculus, help me! 

So you think you can find out the limit of y?
So you think youll find zero and have it defined
Oh baby cant define that point baby
Its undefined
Goes to positive and negative infinity

Oooh. Oooh yeah, oooh yeah.
Differentiation
Anyone can see
Any mere equation
It is differentiable for me.

(Any way this graph goes)

Finite Simple Group (of Order Two)

Lyrics

The path of love is never smooth
But mine’s continuous for you
You’re the upper bound in the chains of my heart
You’re my Axiom of Choice, you know it’s true

But lately our relation’s not so well-defined
And I just can’t function without you
I’ll prove my proposition and I’m sure you’ll find
We’re a finite simple group of order two

I’m losing my identity
I’m getting tensor every day
And without loss of generality
I will assume that you feel the same way

Since every time I see you, you just quotient out
The faithful image that I map into
But when we’re one-to-one you’ll see what I’m about
‘Cause we’re a finite simple group of order two

Our equivalence was stable,
A principal love bundle sitting deep inside
But then you drove a wedge between our two-forms
Now everything is so complexified

When we first met, we simply connected
My heart was open but too dense
Our system was already directed
To have a finite limit, in some sense

I’m living in the kernel of a rank-one map
From my domain, its image looks so blue,
‘Cause all I see are zeroes, it’s a cruel trap
But we’re a finite simple group of order two

I’m not the smoothest operator in my class,
But we’re a mirror pair, me and you,
So let’s apply forgetful functors to the past
And be a finite simple group, a finite simple group,
Let’s be a finite simple group of order two
(Oughter: “Why not three?”)

I’ve proved my proposition now, as you can see,
So let’s both be associative and free
And by corollary, this shows you and I to be
Purely inseparable. Q. E. D.--

Symphony of Science - The Big Beginning

Lyrics:

[Hawking]
We observe that distant galaxies are moving away from us
They must have been closer together in the past

It was the beginning of the universe
And of time itself
Anything that happened before the big bang
Could not affect what happened after

[Dawkins]
The poetry of the expanding universe
The poetry of the complexity of life
We're not normally equipped to understand
And science gives it to us

Science is opening your eyes
To the wonderfulness of what's there
Science is opening your eyes
To the poetry of the expanding universe

[Sagan]
The early cosmos was everywhere white hot
But then as time passed
The radiation expanded and cooled

Then little pockets of gas began to grow
Steadily brightening, we call them the galaxies

[Shears]
In the big bang we had equal amounts of matter and anti-matter
And as soon as they met eachother,
They annihliated together

And this battle played out
Whilst the universe expanded
In its first minute of exisistence

[DeGrasse Tyson]
It's not all that hard to detect the big bang
All you need to do is change the channel
Until you come between two stations

About one percent of the snow and noise
Comes from the big bang itself
We're all eavesdropping
On the birth pains of the cosmos

Le premier bonheur du jour

LE PREMIER BONHEUR DU JOUR (Paroles: Frank Gérald / Musique: Jean Renard, 1963) Françoise Hardy (France) Le premier bonheur du jour C'est un ruban de soleil Qui s'enroule sur ta main Et caresse mon épaule C'est le souffle de la mer Et la plage qui attend C'est l'oiseau qui a chanté Sur la branche du figuier Le premier chagrin du jour C'est la porte qui se ferme La voiture qui s'en va Le silence qui s'installe Mais bien vite tu reviens Et ma vie reprend son cours Le dernier bonheur du jour C'est la lampe qui s'éteint

Mamonas Assassinas - Money

Uma das bandas preferidas da minha infância! Até assisti um show deles lá no parque do Carmo!

Atenção Cruazadeque, a um toque de 4 ja vai.
Já,
Já,
Já,
Já vai!

Eu queria um apartamento no Guarujá,
Mas o melhor que eu consegui foi um barraco
Em Itaquaba, você não sabe como parte o coração
E seu filhinho chorando querendo ter um avião
Você não sabe como é frustante
E sua filhinha chorando por um colar de diamante
Você não sabe como eu fico chateado
Ver meu cachorro babando por um carro importado!

Money
Que é good nóis no have,
Se nóis hevasse nóis num tava aqui playando
Mas nóis precisa de worká

Mas a pior de todas é minha mulher,
Tudo o que ela olha a desgraçada quer
Televisão, microondas, micro system,
Microscópio, limpa-vidro, impa-chifre,
Faca Ginsu

Eu sou cagado, vejam só como é que é:
Se der uma chuva de Xuxa no meu colo cai Pelé
É como aquele ditado que já dizia:
Pau que nasce torto mija forada bacía

Money
Que é good nóis no have
Se nóis hevasse nóis num tava aqui playando
mas nóis precisa de work

Mas a pior de todas é minha mulher,
Tudo o que ela olha adesgraçada quer:
Ambervision, frigi-diet, celular, master-line,
Camisinha, camisola e kamikaze
Eu sou cagado vejam só como é que é:
Se der uma chuva de Xuxa no meu colo cai Pelé
É como aquele ditado que já dizia:
Pau que nasce torto, mija fora da bacía

Kalmah - The Groan of Wind

Lyrics:
"The groan of wind a hiding deadly disease 
A killer that hides in the wind 
And cannot be seen 
A powerful enemy a threat that truly exists 
By a hair hung our lives 
We see that but we´re blind 

Ever-transforming, reproductive, worldwide pandemic 

Our time is running out 
The clock is striking on 
And in spite of our drugs 
We´ll stay powerless 

The groan of wind 
A silent killing machine 
There´s no place we can breathe 
Deep down in our lungs symptom breeds 

H5N1 Lethal time bomb 

Maybe we have earned our urns 
We cannot endlessly breed 
Our scientific achievements 
Nature simply will beat 

The groan of wind a hiding deadly disease"

Carl Sagan - A Glorious Dawn (Feliz dia de Carl Sagan)

Carl Sagan - A Glorious Dawn (Feliz dia de Carl Sagan)

[Sagan]
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time

The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships 
Of the awesome machinery of nature

I believe our future depends powerfully 
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky

But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes 
it generates abstractions

The simplest thought like the concept of the number one 
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has its own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world

[Hawking]
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limit

From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas

[Sagan}
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history 
When we are in fact visiting other worlds

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we've waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting
