Editing Talk:Limozeen vs. sloshy

==Transcript==
How are we gonna do this one? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:No idea at all, which is pretty much why all I put there was a template. --[[User:Blu Aardvark|Blu Aardvark]] <small>[[user talk:Blu Aardvark|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Blu Aardvark|(edits)]]</small> 07:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

::How about a different section for each song, with the exception of the original version of Because It's Midnite (we can just link to [[Because It's Midnite]], assuming they're same (I think they are)). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
::: I own the CD and I'm not sure they're identical exactly, but they're definitely close enough if they're not. I can compare when I find said CD. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:43, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, I guess there's nothing more to sloshy's song than was in the QotW. So, we can just link to [[sloshy]] for the original version of that song too. Also, it looks like perhaps we should put the original lyrics to "We Don't Even Really Care About You" on [[sloshy]] &mdash; that seems like the best place for them, rather than creating a separate page at [[We Don't Even Really Care About You]]... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
::::BTW, the reason I thought it might not have been the original was because the lead singer doesn't seem to have Larry's overexaggerated voice, but it's like that on the CD too. Maybe that was pre-Larry's-overexaggerated-voice-being-a-standard. ;) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::{{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Limozeen_vs._Sloshy&diff=499198&oldid=499197 This}} looks great as a format to start with. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:57, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
::::::I don't think it ''is'' the same one as on the CD. Trust me, it's different. Lyrically, it's the same, but the sound is different. I'm not a music expert or anything, so I can't toss out any terms or instruments, but it IS different. I'd bet my <small>(forum)</small> account on it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:06, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I listened to both together. I didn't listen all the way through, but the intros were 100% identical. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:11, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I'm currently playing both versions simultaneously. There is no difference. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:13, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Waaaait a minute, are you all suggesting that the CD version (played by LIMOZEEN) is the same as the one here  (played by SLOSHY)? They're completely different musically and the only similarities between the lead vocals are because they're both Matt Chapman. &mdash;{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 13:17, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::No, he's talking about the music you hear when you click "hear the original". {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
::::::::::It sounds to me like the sound quality was reduced. It may be higher than it normally is for the toons, but CD quality it ain't. If you're talking mp3, CD quality is at about 128 kbps (that's KiloBits Per Second) and this sounds like it may be somewhere around half that rate. Which, I think, is consistent with it being converted from stereophonic (stereo) to monaural (mono). {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 17:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::::The audio quality in this toon is 22kHz, mono, 32kbit/s MP3 (cf: CD audio, which is 44kHz, stereo, 16bit lossless - comparable to MP3 at around 128 or 192 kbps. Also cf: [[bike thief]]'s audio is 11kHz, mono, 16kbit/s MP3). Just throwing that pointless piece of trivia out there. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

==Members of sloshy==
Shouldnt there be a page about the members of sloshy? Or is that to the least importance. {{User:Foop/sig}}Foop 12:13, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, there's not much more known about them yet, but [[sloshy]] could probably be updated, at very least with a picture of their cartoon versions. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:28, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

==Length==
Do you think it's worth a Remark that both songs are exactly the same length (1:35)? It just seems like it might be interesting, or possibly even deliberate. [[User:69.70.248.73|69.70.248.73]] 12:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
: I also notice that Because, It's Midnite is missing a verse; if that verse was there, they would no longer be the same length. I don't know how intentional it is, but hey, always open to discussion on the Talk page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
::Since nobody's said anything against it, I'm gonna go ahead and put that in the article. It's more of a point of interest than a fact, so I'm putting it in Remarks. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 00:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

== Chucks and not Sneakers ==

The left foot has a [[wikipedia:Chuck Taylor All-Stars|chuck]] on, not a sneaker. I'm pretty sure it is but just to be cautious: anyone dis/agree? {{User:Punching Kittens/sig}} 19:54, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
:Good thing we have [[Chuck Taylor All-Stars|a page]] about them. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:46, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
::Then it's good times for everybody! {{User:Punching Kittens/sig}} 23:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

== Music Styles ==

I dunno about anyone else, but for the Limozeen versions I got a huge Zeppelin vibe from the first and a Blue Oyster Cult vibe from the other. Just throwing it out there.

:Strange. I thought the Limozeen cover of We Don't Really Even Care sounded a lot like Guns N' Roses, and the sloshy cover of Because It's Midnite sounded a lot like a generic alternative rock band.

I dont really get a Zeppelin vibe. Maybe JET, but Zeppelin's a little softer.

==Rrolling the arrrs==

I noticed that the Limozeen song seems to roll the Rs even when there aren't any. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 22:44, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

:I really doubt that's a 'distortion', I think he's just trilling.
.. 
Wait, there's a second H*R CD???

== Scrolling Background ==

Don't you think the seam in the space background counts as a real-world reference? I mean, if you look at the repeating backgrounds used in old Hanna-Barbera cartoons (e.g. Scooby-Doo), you'll notice that you can see the seams in those as well...and "But They're In Space!" ''is'' a parody of those kinds of old cartoons.--[[User:Tenka Muteki|Tenka Muteki]] 23:44, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

:TBC have more explicitly parodied this in the past, at the end [[little animal]]. I do think it's intentional, but I'm not sure if how to word it as a fun fact. Also, I should note that they used this same background (with the same seam) in [[best thing]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:04, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

== Pavement ==

Sloshy playing Limozeen's "Because, It's Midnite" sounds unmistakably like Pavement.

It's a pretty darn accurate send-up.
