I have always loved Pink Floyd. I didn't understand the song or its references when I was younger, I just enjoyed the way it sounded. The song is about record labels trying to take advantage of Pink Floyd when they were younger. "Come on in; have a Cigar. Sit right down. (in these big expensive cushy executive chairs) You're going to be a big star. (Filling their heads with extravagant thoughts.) By the way, which one's Pink? (They thought Pink Floyd was a person.)"

The Main Squeeze takes awesome songs and makes them better.

If Quentin Tarantino used a whole album for a movie soundtrack, it would be this. Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, funk, instrumental, electronic, soul and more.

When I think of Pagliacci -- the sad clown -- I think of the late Robin Williams.

I enjoy Pavarotti's version the best.

Luciano Pavarotti
Vesti la giubba Pagliacci Leoncavallo Lyrics

Quote

Play "Vesti la giubba Pag…"
on Amazon Music
Recitar!... mentre preso dal delirio

non so più quel che dico
e quel che faccio!
Eppur... è d'uopo... sforzati!
Bah! Sei tu forse un uom?
Tu se' Pagliaccio!

Vesti la giubba,
e la faccia infarina.
La gente paga e rider vuole qua.
E se Arlecchin
t'invola Colombina,
ridi, Pagliacco, e ognun applaudirà!
Tramuta in lazzi
lo spasmo ed il pianto,
in una smorfia il singhiozzo
e'l dolor — Ah!
Ridi, Pagliaccio,
sul tuo amore infranto.
Ridi del duol che t'avvelena il cor.


Synopses
Canio, his wife nedda, and their troupe perform adulterous
Comedies in their traveling shows. This time, though, life imitates art. Canio has just been warned that Nedda is in the arms of another man. When Canio arrives the man is gone. Tell me his name! he threatens. Just at that moment they announce it's show time!

English translation

Go on stage, while I'm nearly delirious?
I don't know what I'm saying or what I'm doing!
And yet, chin up! I'll try harder. Bah, you think you're a man?
You are just a clown! on with the show, man,
And put on your white-face.
The people pay you and you must make them laugh.
And if harlequin should steal your columbine, laugh,
You're pagliaccio, and the world will clap for you!
Turn into banter all your pain and sorrow,
And with your clowns' face hide grief and distress...

For me, A History of Bad Men, this is the quintessential, ultimate, best, posterchild Melvins song. When someone ask: "Hey Sushi. Who are the Melvins?" I let them experience a history of bad men and grin at their facial expressions.

The most menacing riff and drum beat in metal. The Melvins brought back that 90s grunge feel for this song in 2006. Good stuff.

The soundtrack of my childhood.

Indiana Jones!



This song and the Star Wars theme song were the theme songs of my life. Jurassic Park is another one of my favorites. When I was a kid I wanted to be a paleontologist and archeologist with force powers. Hahaha Classic me..

James Bond too!! I used to watch the marathons every time they came on.

Sometimes scrolling through the internet or YouTube, you stumble upon something that blows your mind; the unexpected pleasant gifts of the internet if you will.
The algorithm for YouTube has gotten exponentially better in the last number of months. Check out these guys. They just blow my mind with quality and talent. We are in the golden age of music boys. Stoner Rock has hit its peak.
