Something Something Leonard Bernstein	comment	You know that song that you know all the words to? This is not that song. This is that song where the lyrics move so quickly or are so garbled that you know only the one word or phrase that is shouted very clearly. If it's not actually shouted by the original artist, it certainly is by anyone singing along, presumably in order to make up for lost time. The name of the trope comes from "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M. from their album Document. It begins "That's great! It starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes and aeroplanes, and Lenny Bruce is not afraid," and then (aside from the Title Drop in the chorus) your guess is good as ours until the only part of any of the verses that anyone knows properly: "LEO-NARD BERN-STEIN!" note The actual verse that includes Leonard Bernstein's name is as follows: "The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide/Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein/Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs/Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom/You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right? Right!" And no, it doesn't make any more sense now that you know the words. So attempts to sing along to usually go "something something Leonard Bernstein".note Trivia: So why does the song even say that? Michael Stipe had a dream where he was at a party surrounded by famous people who all had the initials "LB", which is why Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs are all listed in the song. (Lenny Bruce is actually mentioned twice, first verse and again right after "LEO-NARD BERN-STEIN!") Any and all foreign songs with a token English word, when listened to by a person only fluent in English, will often fall into this as well. For instance, Japanese songs with Gratuitous English. Compare Second Verse Curse, Chorus-Only Song, Refrain from Assuming, Even the Subtitler Is Stumped, and Single Stanza Song. Related to Indecipherable Lyrics, the point here being that there is at least one word or phrase that everyone will know and shout out with gusto to make up for not knowing the rest. This phenomenon is often caused by the Perishing Alt-Rock Voice. Note, it's not being able to decipher the lyrics; it's more along the lines of not being able to remember them. Also, if you're going to put in an example, put down what the one special word or phrase that everybody absolutely gets is. If you can't do that, then put it in Indecipherable Lyrics.

Something Something Leonard Bernstein / int_37bc8a78	comment	Every Patter Song ever written! Gilbert and Sullivan? To begin with, the Major General song and It Really Doesn't Matter, in which they actually lampshade it—the line "this particularly rapid unintelligible patter isn't generally heard" is repeated several times! [it should be noted here that, theoretically, while the actors are singing, for the most part the characters aren't supposed to be, rendering this line even more amusing] Admittedly, the singers in this sort of situation are generally of a degree of skill such that they do enunciate every word clearly, but at that speed? And even if you can hear and understand it (not a given in a theater!) that doesn't mean that you know the words; most people likely can't recite much of the Major General song beyond "I am the very model of a modern major general"! Well, most people who aren't trained actors or singers. The Major General song is a standard speech exercise during training because it's so difficult to do. One particular Motor Mouth singer of the Major General song found that the Incessant Chorus couldn't keep up with him during the even faster encore. They solved the problem by invoking this trope directly and having the chorus sing: "But still in matters lubba lubba lubba lubba lubba lubba lubba lubba lubba lubba lubba lubba GENERAL!" Although the Major General song is nothing compared to My Name is John Wellington Wells which, on account of puns, garden path sentences, archaic language, and the occasionally lexical flight of fancy by Mr. Gilbert is easily the most difficult song to sing or understand in the G&S canon and among the most difficult in the history of musical theater. Wells even gives his address, in the libretto mind you, as "number seventy Simmery Axe" (which is complete gibberish to anyone not from London).

Something Something Leonard Bernstein / int_3e8c09b9	comment	Attack on Titan's opening theme is a favorite among anime fans in general. However, the lyrics are in a combination of Japanese and Gratuitous German, meaning the only word most English-speaking fans can recognize is "JÃ¤ger" (German for "hunter," and the protagonist's surname). Cue many, many Western anime fans contorting their mouths around unfamiliar words only to suddenly shout "JAEGER!!" at the right point. And then there's the first phrase of the song, which sounds something like "Yipee, a Datsun, yee-bee-dee, YEEEEAH!" or complete gibberish to those who don't speak German.

Something Something Leonard Bernstein / int_468bebb0	comment	In the Discworld tale Gap Year Adventures, by A.A. Pessimal, a song from faraway Howondaland briefly grips the imagination of Ankh-Morpork and is performed in music halls. As it is not in Morporkian, people guess at the meaning of the words. The repetition of a phrase in the language spoken in Howondaland must be important. Morporkians speculate on why this bloke called Marcus Fontayne is so important. Others say no, you've got it wrong, it's a woman. Margot Fontayne. You know, the ballerina at the Opera House. The fact it's a placename with special significance — Magersfontein — is not realised by people who don't quite get the cultural reference, and in any case were on the losing side in a long-ago war. Characters called Boris Kriger (boereskryger = farmer-fighter) and Stan Your Man (staan jou maan, "face your foe") and his mate Stan Fast (staan vas! = Stand firm!) also come into the song. note A Discworld take, played relatively straight, of Bok van Blerk's Afrikaans-language nationalistic song Afrikanerhart It Makes Sense in Context The girl responsible for popularising the song in Ankh-Morpork is duly mortified with embarrasment.

There are some other phrases, such as "A to the L to the E X ANDER" and "Rise with me, rise with me, rise with me, rise up!", but since the official lyrics have not been released the only words that every player can truly agree on is "SONIC BOOM". Even with the official lyrics being released to the public, the singer sings the lyrics way too fast to keep up even with the words in front of you.

Tony Hawk had to perform â€œGangnam Styleâ€� for the Pick-Up Song game. He spent most of it ranting vaguely Korean-sounding gibberish apart from "Oppa Gangnam Style". Jack Dee commented after the song that Tony had performed "the lyrics we know so well".

Something Something Leonard Bernstein / int_4e45b093	comment	The theme song to The Big Bang Theory by Barenaked Ladies is centred around a sped-up description of... everything, so it's hard to catch all but the beginning and the end, leading to "Our whole universe was in a hot dense state, and nearly 14 million years ago—mumblemumblemumble, the year began in something something, something something something, something something something we built a wall, WE BUILT THE PYRAMIDS! Math, Science, History, something something mystery, and it all started with a big bang, BANG!" That line is also sung as a gang vocal, so even though anyone who's watched the show since the beginning should have been able to pick up all the lyrics by now, most viewers will still only sing along with that part, and the "BANG!" at the end. The part after the "PYRAMIDS" line is actually "unraveling the mystery" and does get easier to understand after a while. That's not nearly as bad as "One Week" by the same band: "It's been one week...sorry...tiny nuts...Harrison Ford...one week..." Most people (well, non-fans) remember it as the 'Chickety China, the Chinese Chicken' song. Parodied in this Neil Cicierega mashup, which starts rather straight before Neil starts spamming bits like the "It's been" and "Chickety China".

Problematic because the song has multiple choruses, with the Title Drop being the common lyrical thread for all of them— mixing up pieces from each chorus is common. What's more, while Speaking in Tongues at least puts the lyrics in the liner notes so that you can refer to them (at least on the CD release; the LP version features scans of hand-written lyric drafts that aren't quite as easy to read through), True Stories doesn't. In fact, True Stories is the only Talking Heads album to not include lyric transcriptions in the liner notes for no apparent reasons.

Something Something Leonard Bernstein / int_5e2cf42	comment	System of a Down's "IEAIAIO" was made for the sole reason of taking this trope to eleven, so as a result, the original REM song sounds really clear and articulate in comparison. "Fighting crime/with a partner/Lois Lane/Jimmy Carter"? The only easily intelligible word is the "WHY?!" at the end of each line. Probably their most famous example is the opening verse of "Chop Suey" which is pretty much made of this. While most of the song is fairly slow and easy to make out, the most that most people can get from the opening is "WAKE UP! DunnernunnernunnernunnerMAKE-UP! HusserfussermusserfusserSHAKE-UP! HajamajhajafajaTABLE! Heemamummaheemamumma(somethingthatrhymeswith)ABLE!" and then the whole thing again with "YOU WANTED TO" at the start of every line. (The actual lyrics are surprisingly easy- "Wake up/Grab a brush and put a little make-up/Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up/Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?/Here you go create another fable.") This happens with a LOT of System of a Down's music, actually, due to Serj's weird accent and Motor Mouth.

"Sometimes even the president of the United States has to stand naked" is the only line of the rather long and complex song audiences in the 60s really bothered to remember. This is probably because most people were still looking for clear anti-establishment messages in Dylan's lyrics, unable or unwilling to see that he'd moved on from straight-up protest songs to much more abstract beat poetry-influenced lyrics.

People are some kind the strange / damn Mrs. Perkins againnote The lyrics are different, though, as the first verse says, "The people of the town are strange, / and they're proud of where they came", and the second verse says, "They say that the father's insane, / and dear Mrs. Perkins' a game.".... WOAH-HO, CHINA GROVE!" One way you can pick out someone from San Antonio is that they know a bit more than the above lyrics in said song, because "China Grove" is a song about a community called China Grove in south San Antonio. There's a bit about "old San Antone" and another one about "they just keep on lookin' to the East" in the song that refer to S.A. and is thus instantly pick-uppable for S.A. natives. Oh, and it's "dear Mrs. Perkins' a game".

Something Something Leonard Bernstein / int_a66b3bbc	comment	Aaron G., who frequently does vocals for Naoki's songs in DanceDanceRevolution, has a talent for really fast rapping. The lyrics to Dynamite Rave scroll quite fast on DDR 3rd Mix's karaoke lyrics, and later games removed the lyrics display altogether, so for most people singing along, the rap section's lyrics might as well be "Techno rave, mumblemumblemumble mumblemumblemumble mumblemumblemumble... DYNAMITE RAVE mumblemumblemumble..." It helps that the Title Drop is in all caps in the official lyrics.

Something indecipherable, probably Latin, something something something SEPHIROTH! The final raid of Alexander in Final Fantasy XIV has "Rise", a background song that has been described as "SONIC BOOM completely incomprehensible but enjoyable rap", and has since spawned numerous videos featuring the song with mondegreen lyrics by players. There are some other phrases, such as "A to the L to the E X ANDER" and "Rise with me, rise with me, rise with me, rise up!", but since the official lyrics have not been released the only words that every player can truly agree on is "SONIC BOOM". Even with the official lyrics being released to the public, the singer sings the lyrics way too fast to keep up even with the words in front of you.

Oh, that's nothing. Wait till part 3. It's all over in older Nightwish songs, as Tarja's Finnish accent became progressively less pronounced with each album. Can anyone understand anything Tarja says the first time they listened? I thought not. "Did she just say 'happy haunting, you taco-faced carnie fork'?" For the curious, they're probably listening to "Romanticide"— the actual lyrics are, "Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore."

Something Something Leonard Bernstein / int_b0fc9724	comment	Saturday Night Live: One skit has a fake commercial for J-Disc Presents: Ten Beatles Classics You Kind of Know the Words To. Sung by the Kind of Know the Words To Singers. The lyrics of "Smooth Criminal" are difficult to understand other than "You've been hit by, you've been struck by..." SNL points this out in a sketch with Bruno Mars where his character works at Pandora Radio and has to impersonate various singers when their stations crash. While singing "Smooth Criminal" for the Michael Jackson station he just sings gibberish. A Christmas show sketch took place at a dinner for members of a lodge. The emcee led the crowd in Christmas carols, only for everyone to start mumbling after the well-known first line. When they tried The First Noel, they started with the chorus ("Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel...."), but the only person who knew the next words ("Born is the King of Israel") was Mickey (Elliott Gould), their Jewish guest . The Eddie Murphy skit "Buckwheat Sings" - or rather, "Buh-weet Sings". He sings "Three Times a Lady", which the captions identify as "Fee Tines a Mady", then "Lookin' for Love" ("Wookin' pa Nub"). But when he starts singing "Bette Davis Eyes," the caption just says, "?????" because he's so unintelligible. Another fake commercial for an album by "The Drunken Asses" features episode host Tom Hanks leading a group of intoxicated people in a bar who can only remember parts of the choruses of popular songs, mumbling their way through the verses.

Thom Yorke's voice is so distorted it's hard to make out anything other than the odd word like "away". Notably, this was an Invoked Trope here, with Thom distorting his vocals specifically to distance himself from the highly personal tone of the song; still, if you didn't have the lyrics pointed out to you already, it can be hard to decipher much beyond a few scattered words and phrases like "come on, kids."

"We are/ something technical/ something" a few times, and then "Nothing is working, please stand by." The rest of the song is lost not in fast delivery, but electronic distortion and very little contrast. And to some, Kick the Bass by the same group is worse - "Great song, and I only know the first line." It's apparently about girls and parties, but good luck figuring that out with the mushy audio and the lyrics not fitting in with the overall feel of the song. The first first Transformers movie had an entire soundtrack full of this. "Instruments of Destruction" and "Nothing's Gonna Stand In Our Way" are particularly notorious.

As they don't ever release their lyrics, no one's even sure about this part. "Street Waves" aside, at least 95% of Pere Ubu's oeuvre is indecipherable due to David Thomas' squawking, blubbering vocal delivery and the band's bizarre, often esoteric lyrics. For added fun, track down a Pere Ubu record, try writing down what you hear, then go to their website and look up the lyrics. Compare results. Ubu started to include lyrics on their releases in The '80s, but stopped a few years later. Band leader David Thomas explained his reasons in the liner notes of the 1995 release Raygun Suitcase:
