Broadband-ish Steal my Kisses/Textual Healing spoof online

So, as soon as I uploaded a moderate-resolution WMV ver­sion of the video to year12.joahua.com, Google Video decided it was going to approve it. How­ever, it seems the Google ver­sion is pretty poor qual­ity (yes, I uploaded the same ver­sion to both Google and my own site), so if you want qual­ity it’s best to go with the year12.joahua source — though the audio qual­ity on both of them seems to be about the same.

The Google Video ver­sion will play in your browser (using Flash Video).
The hosted Win­dows Media ver­sion can be saved to your com­puter (right-click, “Save Tar­get As…” or “Save Link As…”, depend­ing on the browser).

The Win­dows Media ver­sion is ~23MiB, so I’d assume the Google ver­sion will be (prob­a­bly sig­nif­i­cantly) less than that.

Now with added lyrics!

(Thanks to Ben, though I don’t know I agree with the end bit, and think he’s hashed out sec­tions where it’s entirely pos­si­ble noth­ing was even said :P)

I’ve had Mrs Christie for three years,
When she speaks it’s like music to my ears.
Hav­ing her has been such a blast,
Marcelo told me that he wants to touch her arse.

I started out with Oud then Sinovich,
Year 12 Eng­lish proved to be quite a bitch.
You may think you’re pretty far from first,
But don’t worry Tyrone will always be the worst.

Always try to steal my essays from you,
’Coz when it comes to Eng­lish I just don’t have a clue,
And now it’s com­ing down to HSC,
I’m going to need the Lord to pray for me.

I went down to class just the other day,
And I had some­thing really witty to say.
I was just about to speak but then just my luck
{the part where} ? except Gar­rett never shuts up.

Always have to steal my essays from the ‘net,
Here good look­ing dont know what to do,
And now it’s com­ing down to HSC,
I’m going to need the Lord to pray for me.

We’re going to take it down a bit.
(Hums)

So let’s get down to Mod­ule A, B and C.
Oooo, Ondaatje’s mak­ing love to me.
Oh baby, baby, won’t you come, come with me,
To an imag­i­nary jour­ney on pages sev­enty two and sev­enty three.

When I get that feel­ing, I need tex­tual heal­ing,
Ondaatje is mak­ing me feel, so damn fine.
The syn­tax lit­er­ary tech­niques and devices all show­ing,
Shake­speare is get­ting my juices flowing.

I’m going down to Kubla Khan, (Oooooo yeah)
And sweet­heart I want you to come, (You come)
When I take that Coleridge off the shelf,
Damn, he makes me want to touch myself.

When I get that feel­ing, I need tex­tual heal­ing,
Ondaatje is mak­ing me feel, so damn fine.
The syn­tax lit­er­ary tech­niques and devices all show­ing,
Shake­speare is get­ting my juices flowing.

(Tex­tual, tex­tual, tex­tual heal­ing,
Tex­tual, tex­tual, tex­tual.) x2

When I get that feel­ing, I need tex­tual heal­ing,
Ondaatje is mak­ing me feel so damn fine.
The syn­tax lit­er­ary tech­niques and devices all show­ing,
Shake­speare is get­ting my juices flowing.

Tex­tual, tex­tual, tex­tual heal­ing,
Tex­tual, tex­tual, textual.

Now, who wants to time­code it for me?! Cap­tions await! ;-)

  1. […] Get the dialup-happy ver­sion here (it’s 5MB or some­thing), or [25MB decent qual­ity ver­sion com­ing, if it ever uploads. Their site sucks. Watch this space.] See this update for more. […]

    josh, please remove said “hashs” as they were to draw your atten­tion to the two bits i men­tioned in the email for you to check, not to sig­nify unknown words…

    so yeah, remove the hash­ing and it will be all good, oh and the bit which says “Nick’s line here…”

  3. Josh says:

    Done… oops. Just so you know, I lis­tened to those spots over and over and I think (cer­tainly at the end) you haven’t missed any­thing. Ear­lier on (the Gar­rett allu­sion) there was prob­a­bly some­thing, but I couldn’t quite get it. Meh, blame crappy camcorders/too high gain. ;-) Thanks heaps for doing the lyrics!

  4. kitten says:

    that is ok, by time cod­ing do you mean time each line, includ­ing start and end time? i can do it, but it will be post physics (read my last exam) so yeah

    the lyrics are awe­some, two thumbs up to bec and nick

  5. Josh says:

    Google specs here

    I think SMIL is slightly dif­fer­ent (no line­breaks between time­code and text maybe?), but whatever.
