Karaoke Revolutionized
Week Three
Jimmy Eat World's "Pain"
Karaoke Revolutionized is an ongoing project that allows parodists the opportunity to parody popular songs that they wouldn't ordinarily take a look at, especially the older folks on this site who generally stick to 60's and 70's hits. This project follows the famous games that allow players to sing along to their favorite songs, using microphones that hook up to the Playstation 2. Usually all big top Billboard hits, with on the rare occasion a few exceptions.
This week's song is "Pain" by the band Jimmy Eat World
A little information on Jimmy Eat World...
- Jimmy Eat World is an American alternative rock band from Mesa, Arizona, formed in 1993
- They also fit under the genres of Pop Punk, Power Pop, and Emo
- Their hits include...
- "Pain"
- "The Middle"
- "Bleed American"
- "A Praise Chorus"
A little information on the song "Pain"...
- The video, which was directed by Paul Fedor, features a young man who constantly does things that cause him pain (including draping himself in meat and letting attack dogs maul him), but when a pretty girl arrives, she touches him, taking his pain away. At the end of the video they walk off together after two twins hit him with a baseball bat. The video also featured footage of the band playing from the inside of a garage.
- The game has been featured in video games: "Tony Hawk's Underground 2", "Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition", and "Karaoke Revolution Party"
Lyrics:
I don't feel the way I've ever felt.
I know.
I'm gonna smile and not get worried.
I try but it shows.
Anyone can make what I have built.
And better now
Anyone can find the same white pills.
It takes my pain away.
It's a lie. A kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Nevermind these are hurried times.
Oh oh oh
I can't let it bother me.
I never thought I'd walk away from you.
I did.
But it's a false sense of accomplishment.
Every time I quit
Anyone can see my every flaw.
It isn't hard.
Anyone can say they're above this all.
It takes my pain away.
It's a lie. A kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Nevermind these are hurried times.
Oh oh oh
I can't let it bother me.
I can't let it bother me.
It takes my pain away.
It's a lie. A kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Nevermind these are hurried times.
Oh oh oh
I can't let it bother me.
Takes my pain
Takes my pain
Takes my pain
Takes my pain away

I was going to use that as the title, but that would have led folks to believe it would be about that movie. And "Brain" would have been either too prosaic or make people think I was doing another animated mouse parody. :D

Here's the lyrics... http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/jimmyeatworld30.shtml
If I don't hurt myself too much in the process I'll make the video for this tonight (The karaoke video at least, not the real music video although I think it's possible)
