Subject: Proofcheck request: Hourcast, "Freakshow"

Written By: ChuckyG on 06/14/12 at 12:45 pm

Found these lyrics

but they were full of errors, at least it looked that way to me.  I've done some cleanup below.  The video is on the above linked page.

Hourcast - Freakshow

It's just another story
Disgracefull fall from glory
Watch you unravel on the screen
I can't bare to watch

'cause you're just so shameless
To become so famous
So enjoy the spotlight
While it's still on you

What'd you to get so overrated
Stand up sell out this is what you're all about
You don't know that youre so f-f-faded
You're turning into a freakshow

Now you're on every station
Like a mindless invasion
You're just a fool that's on display
I just can't look away

All the world is watching
A disfunction darling
All eyes are glued
But we can't look away

What'd you to get so overrated
Stand up sell out this is what you're all about
You don't know that you're so f-f-faded
Feels so good now
May we watch you fall apart
Everything is just so c-c-complicated
Stand up sell out this is what you're all about
You don't know that you're so f-f-faded
You're turning into a freakshow

Well marry a millionaire
And go dancing with the stars
It's a simple life
You're turning into the swan
It's the real world baby
You're my rehab lady
And when you are down
You'll still be my rock of love love love

What'd you to get so overrated
Stand up sell out this is what you're all about
You don't know that you're so f-f-faded
Feels so good now
May we watch you fall apart
Everything is just so c-c-complicated
Stand up sell out this is what you're all about
You don't know that you're so f-f-faded
You're turning into a freakshow

I'm not sure if this should by "Stand out" instead of "Stand up" or maybe "Scandal" which makes a lot more sense.

Couple of minor typos:

"Disgraceful" has one "l",
...
I can't bear to watch
...
What'd you do to get so overrated
...
a dysfunction darling

Stand up sell out this is what you're all about


But more importantly, I'm going with "stand up", as the opposite of selling out.  The star has the option to do either - it's the performers who don't know the difference that lead to the scandalous celebrity trainwrecks.

Lyrics sites with egregious typos are a pet peeve of mine. Thanks to overzealous IP enforcement, crowdsourced lyrics sites were effectively wiped out before 2000, and all that's left is sites who go after the google queries, pay no attention to quality, and have questionable advertiser support. In a world with sane copyright laws, that wouldn't be an issue. Thanks for nothing, un-named agency.
