@Thar: Well, you don't really need rhyme to be a good musician. And from past experience, sometimes rhythm is optional as well.

I'm a decent musician, and I can't write poems at all! xD
And I suck with rhymes.

@ Winter Wind: I maintain that you can write songs without rhyme. The Germans did it all the time.

Funny story, a vocalist friend of mine forgot the words to her German song during one of her juries and actually completely made up stuff until the end of the song, and they passed her. Apparently all you have to do is sound like the Swedish Chef.

Lady Skye~ Hehe. I think it was a test of her German knowledge. Maybe she should takes some classes? It might help. [and I realize how cruel that sound. I'm sorry if it offends.] Being a learner of the German language I would have to agree with your statement about the Swedish Chef.

Speaking of German, my IB Music exam had German LATIN music.
I completely missed the question. =/
I could tell it was German, but like...I couldn't identify the piano and rhythm stuff. I just called it "Dancey", haha.

@ Thar: Vocalists are actually required to take one year of Italian, French, and German. Unfortuately, my friend won't begin learning German until next year. Be that as it may, sometimes nerves can make you forget lyrics you have down cold. I took Voice this year, and on my final jury I totally forgot the first verse of "Scarbourough Fair", even though I already knew it by heart before I took the class!

@Winter: The college's German professor showed us all a German music video from the eighties I think were the German singer was singing about Mexico . . . It was hilarious.

o-o"
So weird! xD

I never imagined German and Latin could fuse together...
Should've checked out more German music before I took my exam. xD

German is actually set up like Latin. :D Where as the words are like building blocks. I'll give you an example: "stehen" means to stand. "Verstehen" means to understand. and "Sich Verstehen" means to have an understanding with someone.

@Thar: I think me'n'Winter Wind are actually talking about Latin as in Hispanic-Latin, not Latin the language. But I did not realize that German was constructed like Latin. Our Music History professor is German, and he's explained some German to us, but not a lot.

And he has mentioned how "squirrel" is a problem word in many languages. XD

:oops: Well I feel quite idiotic. :sweat: but no worries. I was glad to have given you that German lesson even if it was in the wrong context

Ah, Squirrel. such an interesting word. And at that word, I must take my leave. I bid farewell to you lovely ladies, it was a pleasure chatting with you. (and also with you Poet, if you get online to read this. and yes, if need be excuse me for calling you a lady.)

Pleasure talking to you too Thar. And no worries, I've made even more embarrasing mistakes. ^^

Hullo. *yawwwns*

Morning everyone! I woke up later for school than normal.. oops xD

Yeah last night I went to sleep intending to take a nap before my friend came online and then... I ended up sleeping through the night. Oops.

~sneaks into the thread and dances~

Ellos all! How're we all this lovely evening?

I am doing wonderfully, and yourself?

Hello everyone, how are you?

I'm very happy, as i just went to the movies and saw Iron Man 2 :]

Ooo, Iron Man 2? I went and saw it a couple weeks ago. How did you like it?

It was pretty good, a bit too much hollywood but whatever :P

I was happy thought cause i got to see my boyfriend :]

*nods* I enjoyed it mostly because I like the character of Tony Stark, so I liked seeing how he developed through this movie.

And to answer your earlier question, I'm okay.

Haha, I have not seen it yet, I can wait until it comes out on DVD.

I thought it was pretty interesting, but something about the best friend of Stark scared me haha. He looks and sounds so much like the principal at my high school haha

Hello everyone! Can I come in? : D
I saw Iron Man 2 yesterday. It was pretty good; better than I thought it would be! :)

My parents will probably see it if it goes to the $1.50 show or on netflix.
