Lyrics For Eurobeat.....Why are people so critical?
ok i have read many posts now with people commenting on the bad english used in the lyrics for eurobeat...and it really Sh**s me, eurobeat isnt meant to be serious or perfect, thats why it is so good, it is a FUN genre also not aimed at an english speaking audience
i really dont see why people get so annoyed...i mean firstly the music is aimed at a country who's 1st language is JAPANESE, and secondly the writers 1st language are italian, and most singers i would asume dont speak english (after hearing a few words pronounced incorectly). also i saw a post regarding the amount of times fire and the words that rhyme are used in songs, i think it would be due to keeping the songs easy for japanese to sing along too by keeping small and easy words to pronounce. like words that end with cau"tion".....
so why do people get so critical?

Eurobeat delights
I don't mind the off-english, unless it's obviously avoidable. Sometimes, bad english can really throw off the mood of a song, but in most cases the bad english fits in with the melody and the flow of the song and if you try to correct it that throws everything off. Eurobeat these days is fine though, I can't really isolate a recent song that has bad english.
People like to be critical though. *shrugs*
My favorite song will funny english has to be Radiorama - One Two Three...
"Easy to pretending, a love that's never ending, all I want is talking to you."

I love bad english. Gino Caria used it all the TIME in the way he sang and the structure of the lyrics. Older Italo also sounded like that. It gave it its it's identity. It's not used too much in Eurobeat Nowadays, back in the day it was the bomb
I even wrote the lyrics of my Boom Boom Numbers Game in that fasion on purpose. In the chorus, I wrote the line:
my lady luck turns me the winner tonight.
as opposed to
my lady luck makes me the winner tonight.
The whole song was an ode to Gino Caria and the way he would sing Eurobeat.

Irene - Love is the name of love
Love is the name of love, you whisper sounds, my wild cloud!(it was transcribed as "whisper soft, cry out loud")
Leslie Hammond - Feel My Body And My Soul
Push a finger in my hole! Do you really want to hurt me?... Move your legs inside my all(own?) tonight, feel the power of my (hole? whole? own?)
Black Eva - Spirit in the dark: almost complete gibberish, more so than Hot Limit
Kelly T - Shining Like A Lucky Star: I can see your luck is going blind and I will see for my baby(different from liner notes, still engrishy) Xb
Not untrue not a dream it's so real (surreal?), like a dangerous(angel's?) light when you sky high!
(Lucy-fer) also the part that sounds like "we do love so tender as the meat any hold"(missing from the lyrics sheet)

Some of my favourite HRG Attack lyrics eva! Right from the vinyl jacket.
Joe D. Toaster - Beautiful
Friday Night love wasn't in your heart,
Midnight fun every guy around your body
On T.V. your ready for the show,
Blue films too, your fiction like a fire
You treat me bad every day sophisticated lady ,stop your game, I'm not your toy man.
Love cannot gimmi any more, wanna forget it , wanna escape Far away never call me
chorus:
Beautiful, witch you light my fire
Dirty fiction over my love...You are
Beautiful; witch of my desire
Girl forget the love, ready for the movie, for the show
All I ghotta say is , without Engrish and bad grammar. Eurobit wud suck

Here is the chorus form Spiderboy. WTF, but I love trying to sing to this one.
Joe D. Toaster- Spiderboy
Spider boy, spider boy
The web in my hand
Can try to building tower
Spider boy, spider boy
The night, red and blue
That's flying on my murders
The song is about Spiderman. No doubt about it, but I question the liner notes everTIME I see this. Gotta love HRG Attack for this lyrics alone
Haha! Sometimes I even question the cd liner notes.Actually, she really is singing "You whisper soft, I cry out loud", so the transcript is (basically) correct.

Don't forget SPEEDY CAT! Ruvry rike a faya!
Still, I think some of this spawns from earlier days, when the "gimmic" songs did better than those that DID have fair english.
There's nothing WRONG with a proper-English song; just, why bother when nonsense sells just as well?
(I even threw a barb on that in Bravado--
"Night and Day I'll seek you
'Till the day I find you
Nothing stop me now to see your eyes"
It should have technically been "Nothing WILL stop..." or "Nothing CAN stop...", but it still works if you ask me.

A lot's changed in the decade and a half I've been here.
