All right--word in the comments on the street is that you're restricted to smaller files, but you get more downloads at youshareit.com. This makes it feasible for me to actually upload stuff for y'all, so it's time for me to share the wealth after weeks (if not months) of mooching off other people's music posts.

ETA: Well, shit. Looks like youshareit doesn't want to play. We're back to yousendit, and I'm changing the links out as fast as I can. Let me know when a link runs out.

Thus, I bring y'all Valentine gifts:

"Cells," The Servant (Sin City trailer). I think most people who wanted it got it, but hey, why not? sweinberg and I hashed out the lyrics here.

"Strangelove," Depeche Mode. I just really like Depeche Mode.

"I'm on Fire," Bruce Springsteen. Brief and quiet and haunting. I don't have it on this computer, but check out Tori Amos' live VH1 cover of this sometime. I'll post it once I get Betsy 2 online.

"Layla," Eric Clapton (original version). I kind of wish I had a short edit of this song that cut off right when the piano starts, because--I mean, the piano is beautiful and I would keep the full version on hand, but... sometimes you just want guitars.

"Can't Get You Out of My Head," the infamous Garbage/Kylie cover. For those of you who didn't hear about this the first time: be warned, it's very short, and clearly just a tangent during a live concert performance. It's by no means a full, polished track.

"I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)," Meatloaf (or is it Meat Loaf?). So incredibly awesome in its cheesitude.

"Singing in My Sleep," Semisonic. My favorite Semisonic song is "Secret Smile," but, again, it's not on this computer.

And two live Kelly Clarkson performances bootlegged from the first season of American Idol, both really beautiful and a sometimes rough but completely free of melisma (is that the word? The up-and-down Christina/Mariah shrieking). Not what you would expect now from the show:

What won't he do, anyway? I think I was too young when I first heard the song to figure it out, and I don't really care enough to puzzle over the lyrics myself. What is "That"?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

The lyrics are actually kind of misleading if you read the word "love" the wrong way--basically, he's saying he'd do anything for "love" (i.e., sex) except cheat on the girl. Near the end of the song, the girl has her little solo, and she says something about "...you'll be screwing around," and then we get the big climactic, "No, I won't do that." But out of context, it sounds like he's saying, "I'd do anything for you, baby! Well... not that."

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. That makes so much more sense. So it's like, "I'll do anything for sex--this includes bobbing for apples, dressing up like a squirrel, and taking your mother to the opera--but only sex with you." Aw.

But yeah, that is totally misleading. Whatever happened to the good old days of Color Me Badd? We all knew what "I Wanna Sex You Up" was about.

They make fun of this song on one of those VH1 "worst love songs of all time" shows...

[jennnk.livejournal.com]

scarily enough, this was around the same time as color me badd...

adding to the "all he wants is sex" theory is this verse:
Some days it don’t come easy, and some days it don’t come hard tee hee, come/easy/hard, tee hee
Some days it don’t come at all, tee hee, he said come again!and these are the days that never end
Some nights you’re breathing fire, and some nights you’re carved in ice i.e. blue balls
Some nights you’re like nothing I’ve ever seen before or will again
Maybe I’m crazy, but it’s crazy and it’s true
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you you're the only one I want, baby!
----
then there's this, which makes me think that if a girl were singing it, she would be talking about *whispers* anal sex:
But I’ll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long tee hee, long
And I would do anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that, no no no I won’t do that
I would do anything for love, anything you’ve been dreaming of
But I just won’t do that
----
and then she talks about making a life/having a baby:
Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?
I can do that! oh oh now, I can do that!
----
and fantasies/role play:
Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I’ve never known?
I can do that! oh oh now, I can do that!
----
and the part cleo was talking about:
After a while you’ll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night’s fling
And you’ll see that it’s time to move on
I won’t do that! no I won’t do that!

I know the territory, I’ve been around
It’ll all turn to dust and we’ll all fall down
And sooner or later, you’ll be screwing around
I won’t do that! no I won’t do that!

Right! That's the kind of thing I thought it was about at first. Something that was too kinky even for Meat Loaf.

Re: They make fun of this song on one of those VH1 "worst love songs of all time" shows...

[jennnk.livejournal.com]

yeah...I thought of this song while watching the Sopranos & that one scene with Tony's sister & her husband the guy who gets whacked & she's using the dildo on HIM and talking all dirty...yeah, kind of that kind of thing...

Re: They make fun of this song on one of those VH1 "worst love songs of all time" shows...

[lacrimaeveneris.livejournal.com]

I mean, I can understand people not understanding it, because the song is, as VH1 noted, a 12-minute long "rock epic." I remember this solely because it came on last night and I was home alone and bored silly. Nice to know what the song's about though, lol.

[sweinberg.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the "THAT" that he won't do is something involving a strap-on and his rear-end.

That's what the song means to me anyway.

[modpixie.livejournal.com]

i thought it had something to do with s/m...

ohhh...............

[maverick1013.livejournal.com]

I have always wondered what the hell he meant, but never enough to actually check, but it makes a lot more sense now lol. I was linked this just because the subject had come up about it recently due to that Dr. Pepper commercial that's out.
