MASSIVE IGUANAAAAA! I cannot help but imagine this as the soundtrack to a Godzilla movie.

I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting when I saw this topic, but this wasn't it. You know, the song actually sounds better in the original Russian. At least, it would if I could listen to it without giggling. [ Monday, September 19, 2005 06:03: Message edited by: Puerperal Fever ] -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Well, that's interesting... it really does sounds like they're trying to run away from a massive iguana... though I doubt that singing to a massive iguana would be of any help. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

They should play them concurrently, so that the massive iguana is not going to get them.

Until I listened to the English version, I thought they actually were singing "Massive Igauna"... I'm not a fan of that style of music, but she has a greeat (if oddly used) voice. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

Here is the literal translation of the Russian version. [The words in braces were added by me to account for grammatical differencies between languages: In Russian, subject or verb can be dropped if they are obvious.] [They] won’t catch us. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch, won’t catch, won’t catch... Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us. Just say and then [there will be] only the two of us. [There will be] only the lights of airport. We will run away. [They] won’t catch us. Farther from them, farther from ???. Our guide, hide our shadows. Beyond the clouds. Behind the clouds. [They] won’t find us, won’t change us. They can’t reach the stars with their hands. The sky will drop the night on the palm. [They] won’t catch us. Won’t catch us. Sky will drop night on the palm. [They] won’t catch us. Wont’ catch us. Sky will drop night on the palm. [They] won’t catch us. Wont’ catch us. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us, won’t catch. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us, won’t catch, won’t catch, won’t catch... [They] won’t catch us. Won’t catch us, won’t catch, won’t catch, won’t catch. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us, won’t catch. Won’t catch us. We’ll run away. Everything will be simple. Night will fall. Sky will drop. And emptiness. And emptiness on intersections. And emptiness won’t catch us. Don’t speak, they won’t understand. Only without them. Just not to miss. Nothingness is better than [going] back. Just [to be] without them. Just without them. Just without them, them... [They] won’t catch us, won’t catch, won’t catch. Won’t catch us, won’t catch. Won’t catch us, won’t catch. Won’t catch us. Won’t catch us. The sky will drop night on the palm. [They] won’t catch us. ... There might be 1 more verse, but by now I have a headache from listening too long to this monstrocity. (Maybe if I liked this kind of music I wouldn't care how stupid the words are, but since I don't like the music either, the only thing I get from listening to this song carefully enough to understand and translate the words is a headache.) From what I heard of the English version, they've tried to make the text less random and more meaningfull, however the original Russian is as random as what you see in my translation.

It sounds more like they are saying 'Massnee Iguana' than 'Massive Iguana' to me. But it is still a bit random. -------------------- Mugglenet--The ULTIMATE Harry Potter Site. Polaris-- New location. Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

Hey, I like Tatu. Good thing, too, or I'd have gotten really sick of it while putting that spliced track together. Edit: Oh damn, I just finished, and now I want to throw the "Clowns all around you" bit in from one of their other songs.

After I heard this, I laughed so hard I almost wet myself. After regaining my composure, I listened to it for a second time. The second time it sounded kind of good. Not bad. The Russian sounds better than the English. Thank you for pointing this out to the public, Ash Lael.
