i wanna be your number one...

goldfrapp'in supernature albümünden süper bi şarkı.

walk out into velvet
nothing more to say
you're my favourite moment
you're my saturday

cos you're my number 1
i'm like a dog to get you
i want it up and on
i'm like a dog to get you

sunset only seconds
just ripe then it's gone
got no new intentions
just right then it's gone

cos you're my number 1
i'm like a dog to get you
i want it up and on
i'm like a dog to get you

i'll be there to meet you
getting down to greet you
howl under the moon

nelly nin bir şarkısı.training day filminin soundtrackinde de vardır.bu türü dinlemeyen şahsımın bile beğenisini kazanmıştır.

uh uh uh
ı just gotta bring it to they attention dirty, that’s all..

[nelly]
you better watch who you talkin bout; runnin your mouth, like you know me
you gon’ fuck around and show why the "show me" get called the "show me"
why one-on-one you can’t hold me if your last name was haynes
only way you wear me out is stitch my name on your pants
no resident of france; but you swear ı’m from paris
hundred-six karats - total? naw that’s per wrist
trying to compurr this - my chain to yo’ chain
ı’m like sprint or motorola - no service, out of your range
you out of your brains, thinkin i’ma shout out your name
you gotta come up with better ways than that to catch your fame
all that pressure you applyin it’s time to ease off before ı hit you from the
blindside takin your sleeves off
as much as we’s floss, still hard to please boss
don’t be lyin bitchin and cryin - suck it up as a loss
cause your, acts is wack, your whole label is wack
and matter fact, eh eh-eh eh a-hold that

[chorus: nelly]
ı.. am.. number one - no matter if you like it
here take it sit down and write it
ı.. am.. number one
hey hey hey hey hey hey - now let me ask you man
what does it take to be number one?
two is not a winner and three nobody remembers (hey)
what does it take to be number one?
hey hey hey hey..

[unknown girl]
do you like it when ı shake it for ya, daddy? move it all around?
let you get a peep before it touches the ground?

[nelly]
hell yeah ma ı love a girl that’s willin to learn
willin to get in the driver’s seat and willin to turn
and not concerned about that he say, she say, did he say
what ı think he said? squash that, he probably got that off ebay
or some, internet access some, website chat line
mad cause ı got mine, oh don’t wind up on the flat line
ohh if my uncle could see me now
ıf he could see how many rappers wanna be me now
straight emulatin my style right to the "down down"
can’t leave out the store now better wait ’til they calm down
ı got hella shorties, comin askin, "yo, where the party? "
ohh lordy - ı’d like to continue to act naughty
mixing cris’ and bacardi, got me thinkin fo’ sho’
ı’m not a man of many words but there’s one thing ı know - pimp

[chorus]
ı.. am.. number one - no matter if you like it
here take it sit down and write it
hey i.. am.. number one
hey hey hey hey hey hey - now tell me now dirty

tell me - what does it take to be number one?
hey hey hey hey..

[nelly]
check it, uhh, check, yo
aiyyo ı’m tired of people judgin what’s real hip-hop
half the time you be them niggaz who fuckin album flop

c’mon! mad cause ı’m hot; he just - mad cause he not
you ain’t gotta gimme my props, just gimme the yachts
gimme my rocks, and keep my fans comin in flocks
’til you top the superbowl, keep your mouth on lock
shhhhh.. {*crickets* (ı’m awake, ha ha ha!)
ı’m cocky on the mic but ı’m humble in real life
taking nothin for granted blessin e’rything on my life
trying to see a new light at the top of the roof
baby name not sigel but ı speak the truth
ı heat the booth - nelly actin so uncouth
top down shirt off in the coupe, spreadin the loot
with my family and friends, and my closest of kin
and ı’ll do it again if it means i’ma win

[chorus]
dirty i.. am.. dirty, number one - no matter if you like it

bir manowar parçası. sözlerini de yazayım.

we belong to the world we belong to the wind
we are the spirit of competitions end
turning hours into days burning muscles feel the pain
the heart and soul of discipline my friends

we are sending you a challenge its very clear
we came to win that is why we are here
demanding to be tested by the best
not to be forgotten like all the rest

the time has come all training done

the muscle and the blood will come to pay

let the game begin hear the starting gun
play from the heart today we will overcome
when the game is over all the countings done
we were born to win number 1

today is the day all the training through
we have come for the number one not the number two
let the contest begin play hard fight to win
immortality victory and fame

the time has come all training done
the muscle and the blood will come to pay

let the game begin hear the starting gun
play from the heart today we will overcome
when the game is over all the countings done
we were born to win number 1

today is the day all the training through
we have come for the number one not the number two
let the contest begin play hard fight to win
immortality victory and fame

let the game begin hear the starting gun
play from the heart today we will overcome
when the game is over all the countings done
we were born to win number 1

enfes bir helloween parçası. sözlerini de yazayım.

each time when one more year was over
you refused to hear heaven's bells sound
and the happiness in you heart's been set lower
you were searching for friends but no one seemed to be 'round

you merely should think of the good times
'cos there are so many ways you can go
take a look at yourself, you're still very young
and big aims always take very long

now it's time for happiness, stay hard and trust your fate
don't forget you're something else you'll never be too late
trust your fathers' mighty spell you'll never be alone
fate will always turn out well and you'll be number one

shout at the world don't care what they say
'cos your life is now, here and today
luck is there, ev'rywhere
go on, reap its goods, that's the way
you wanna have truth, relief from your pain
but life takes its toll again and again
don't fear the night--your future is paid
and the tracks to your aims are laid

now it's time. . .

saylonların bir numarası. insanlar arasında gezen ilk kopyası cavil isminde bir din adamıydı ve brother cavil olarak biliniyordu. anlaşıldığı kadarıyla hem kobol tanrıları hem de saylon tanrısı için ateist olan bu modeli insanlar arasından tom zarek'e benzetiyorum en çok. ikisinde de içinde bulundukları ağır koşulları bir şekilde hafife alma alışkanlığı var ve hareketlerini (ne kadar acımasız olursa olsun) rasyonalize etmeyi başarıyorlar.

star trek next generation'da kaptan jean luc piccard'ın geminin xo'su william riker'a hitap şekli. sevgili teğmen data da number two oluyor şu durumda.

battlestar galactica ile ilgili spoiler içerebilir.

yaratıcısının verdiği ismiyle john cavil. halbuki kendisine sorsanız, number one olmayı bin kere tercih edecektir muhtemelen. ("you know that i don't care for this name.") saylon* ırkı evrim geçirip mersin'e giderken, devamlı tersine gitmek isteyen, inançsız, bir ölçüde nihilist, sarkastik karakter. dizinin ve saylon meselesinin pik noktalarından olan s4e15'teki tiradına bakalım:

"cavil: in all your travels, have you ever seen a star supernova?

ellen: no.

cavil: no. well, i have. i saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the universe, other stars, other planets, and eventually other life, a supernova, creation itself. i was there. i wanted to see it, and be part of the moment. and you know how i perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? with these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull. with eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the em spectrum, with ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air.

ellen: the five of us designed you to be as human as possible.

cavil: i don’t want to be human. i want to see gamma rays, i want to hear x-rays, and i want to smell dark matter. do you see the absurdity of what i am? i can’t even express these things properly, because i have to — i have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but i know i want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. i’m a machine, and i can know much more, i could experience so much more, but i’m trapped in this absurd body. and why? because my five creators thought that god wanted it that way."

sözcük sözcük çevirip canınızı sıkmak istemem, ama, diyor ki: "faşizm konuşma yasağı değil söyleme mecburiyetidir." öyle demiyor tabi de, söylerkenki tavrına öyle bir söylem yakışırdı aslında. neyse, diyor ki: beni insanlaştırmaya çalışarak aslında sınırlıyorsun. bu bedenin, bu duyuların, bu dilin sınırlılığı içine hapsediyorsun. halbuki ben bir makinenin potansiyel sınırsızlığını istiyorum. senin sözde tanrının doğru ve ahlaklı olduğunu düşündüğü şeylerle ilgilenmiyorum.

tabi doğal olarak, dizinin birçok başka sahnesinde de olduğu üzere, aklımız hemen philip k dick'e ve ridley scott'a, blade runner'ın son sahnesinde roy batty'nin attığı meşhur tirada gidiyor. (bkz: blade runner/@2687020) senaristlerin referansı da muhtemelen o sahnedir zaten.

ya da, belki de, değildir. belki de bsg senaristleri elektrikli koyunlardan* daha fazlasını da düşleyebiliyorlardır:

"beynimden, etimden, iskeletimden geliyor bu!
her dinamoyu
altıma almak için çıldırıyorum!
tükrüklü dilim bakır telleri yalıyor,
damarlarımda kovalıyor
oto-direzinler lokomotifleri!

trrrrum,
trrrrum,
trak tiki tak
makinalaşmak istiyorum!"*
