and clearly there are problems

as seen in the journals of [livejournal.com profile] slodwick and [livejournal.com profile] oxoniensis:

give me one word, any word at all, and i'll give you a song with that word in the title. or as close as i can get.

okay, go!

structuralism.

... or not.

[identity profile] walkingshadow.livejournal.com 2007-05-18 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, fine, you win at memes. or i lose at geekery? THIS WAS THE BEST I COULD DO:

the weakerthans - reconstruction site (http://www.sendspace.com/file/v5s90i)

ridel high - self-destructive (http://www.sendspace.com/file/h3j3r6)

No, you win x 10 000 and three! I asked for structuralism (not so much out of desire to outdo you in the art of the meme as, you know, because I think there should be lots of songs about structuralism, though I know of none), and YOU, you gave me what one some level (that is best left undissected) totally adds up to, I think, deconstruction, n'est-ce pas? bwahaahaah. BEST MEME ANSWER EVER, MS. W.SHADOW.

Plus I'm really kinda digging the songs.

[identity profile] walkingshadow.livejournal.com 2007-05-18 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
it is in fact a musical cycle comprising both deconstruction AND reconstruction! *fist pump* i have to admit, i read both the dictionary and wikipedia entries about structuralism, and i still have no idea what it's supposed to be, or how it differs from other theories. it's like that episode of the west wing when they're in california, and this movie guy is trying to offer C.J. a job:

MARK: I'll come right out and say it, C.J. I'm a big fan.

C.J.: Thank you.

MARK: Yeah. And I think that there's a place for you in our company.

C.J.: Doing what?

MARK: Development.

C.J.: Of what?

MARK: Development of projects.

C.J.: What's that mean?

MARK: You'd be developing feature projects.

C.J.: Movies.

MARK: Yeah.

C.J.: You know what? You want Toby or Sam. I'm not a writer.

MARK: Oh, no, we have writers.

C.J.: Well, I certainly can't direct or act.

MARK: No, you'd just be in development.

C.J.: And what's that?

MARK: Shepherding projects - developing them.

C.J.: I thought a guy writes a movie, and a guy directs a movie.

MARK: Sure.

C.J.: And in between there are designers and technicians and actors.

MARK: Yes.

C.J.: So, tell me what I do again?

MARK: Development.

C.J.: Okay. Well, at the moment I have a pretty good job and I understand what it is, so, uh, I sure appreciate... [spots Sam walking past] Sam! [to Mark] I appreciate it, Mark, I'm sorry, I've got to talk to Sam about a thing the President wants me to... [She walks away with Sam.] Pretend you're talking to me.

. . . like that. but i've been out of school a long time and my brain has rotted, so.

glad you dig the songs! i love especially the weakerthans one, i've been listening to it all morning.
