This almost works....pair the beat from the first song with the lyrics and visuals from the second...and you will gain a new subscriber...
Calling any Nine Inch Nails song crap is grounds for sadomasochistic torture. ;-(
But FWIW, I've gone ahead and deleted the video. The quality was rather lousy; I only created it to denigrate the stupid song with the blonde, which had gotten stuck in my head yesterday and wouldn't go away.
As for your last suggestion, it's a nice idea, but I don't know if I can do it; making mashups is something I've never been successful at.
I apologize for the apparent glibness of my earlier reply...I have love/hated that song (the first, not the second) since its inception...viewing your juxtaposition simply bewildered my sense of hope that you might have solved the dilemma of stealing that fine beat and infusing it with a proper lyrical normalcy that would allow me to play it without self-recrimination...
In fairness to your earlier effort I will list my impressions in the order in which they occurred upon first watching:
1) Enjoyment
2) Amusement
3) Confusion
4) Despair
5) Irritation
6) Despondency
7) Frustration
8) Sorrow
9) Calm
10) Glibness

Ahh...
your point here?
Clarity has been offered, but only under the understanding that it is not to be used to cause further irritation: content, volume, and diversity of opinion generally equate to a stronger forum experience.
This isn't about someone enjoying the forum, this is about someone(Bingo) ruining it for someone else(Warbler).
...but we enjoy you both...so how about a truce and a pint to sort things out?
I've tried sorting it out with him again and again. The guy doesn't listen to me and doesn't consider the slightest possiblity of him being in the wrong in any part of our disagreements. It takes two people to sort things out and he hasn't seemed to want to try.
Why might these attitudes be considered paramount? Do not misunderstand: I do not mean for you to take it in the chin, as it were, but should a disagreement evolve what might prevent you from invoking a cease and desist and refraining from a direct engagement? Is there a law of gravitation that necessarily forces disagreeable discussions?
A lack of controversy is nice for an afternoon tea, but makes for a decidedly dull forum experience...simply standing around nodding pleasingly at one another likely thins the lurkers and strains the remaining members for subject matter. You are a fine and considerate debater, and I enjoy our brief disagreements as it provides an opportunity to reason through the eyes of another, but should we simply be content to agree profusely would not much dialog necessarily devolve into a series of platitudes and affirmations? Dull stuff...dull stuff indeed...
Who said we have to agree about everything? We can have disagreements and have interesting discussions about them without it being rude and insulting and resorting to low blows. There are multiple people whom I've disagreed with that I wish would return to posting more often(Ferris, CP3S, Mrebo). You see, the problem isn't that Bingo disagrees with me, its the way he does it.
Fair enough...
Kindly reconsider: signing this petition shall allow you three entire rally calls to be used whenever you should so desire...they shall be honored at any time and have no date of expiry...simply imagine the possibilities!

Praetorian
a rally call? what is that?
You wish to examine the gift on offer, to shake it, to open it, and then return it to sender untested and untried?
A rally call is a forum power granted but rarely. It provides the receiver the ability to call upon those so bound to return a damaged discussion into positive territory. All negativity is rebuffed and redressed through the rally; the tone is reset and honor restored...
no, I will not be signing this petition. sorry.
...would you be willing to at least reconsider standing in opposition?

I will not sign this. However, I don't mind if he comes back. I liked him for a long time. But I could not carry on many conversations with him. He cannot carry on debate without resorting to low tactics, and obviously carries a low opinion of me because of my religion. I also told him not to let a disagreement keep him away, but apparently if I won't put up with such nonsense and TV's Frink says his views are too extreme for rational thought, then it is too much to carry on. So he took his ball and left. I never said I didn't want him here, nor that he couldn't come back. But I've already documented why he cannot argue with dignity.
Certainly I understand your position...I wish only to put forward, but a slight nudge towards a reconciliation...no embracing is required, only a cordial invitation to resume participation. That you do not have a desire to bar such an event is to be appreciated...it is merely hoped that extending a more welcoming opening for a return in good faith might set an improved tone against future disagreements...but certainly no real pressure should exist to do so...however it would not be honest to suggest other than that acquiring your support in this effort would be extremely welcome...!

It's cute how you guys think you can make changes to the list.
I move that you let those that you trust make changes to the list.
That seems awfully generous of you, but where might you be planning to move to?
Stop imagining my ears...this is getting out of hand!
Glad I just finished lunch...
Ahem!

36) Not using proper grammar while interacting with carp.
Who cares about whether or not one of our members uses improper grammar when they go fishing? ...And if you weren't talking about fish, the same stands. I don't think we'd care to spend any effort finding out, either.
Oddly enough, when you type stuff like this it leads me to believe this account may be a a singularly allowed community sock used by only a few members. The reason I suspect this is due to the change in tone when it comes to responses. I could be wrong but I'm sure no-one would admit to me being right if it is.
:)
I think you missed his joke as he was playing off of your new rule...and a potential change to the spelling of carp might help to understand his second bit of teasing... ;-)
Without a doubt Another Stakeout was twice as good as the original Stakeout.
Dr. Crow has once again placed me on ignore...and here I thought we were having fun discussing political things...?
Why might you be so certain? Did not his explanation make sufficient sense to allow the matter to rest as stated?
