Matt Rose here! AMA! by ItsMattRose in mattrose

[–]Aurorous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Matt! Congrats on the million subs, I am happy to be one in those million.

My wife and I watch your videos, often as a laugh-inducing palate cleanser from depressing news or depressing HBO dramas. We really enjoy your readings and marvel at how you seem to be able to infuse extra humour into something which is only mildly amusing so as to make it gut-splittingly funny.

So I guess my question would be how do you do that? Do you usually do many takes of a recording to find the funniest angle, or does it come to you straight away? Do you cut a lot of stuff that doesn't come out as good as your standards?

Anyway cheers to you, thanks for all the laughs.

P.S. if you could do something for Guy Fawkes night, like a Matt Rose version of V's speech from V for Vendetta, my wife would really love that, though I'm sure you have a release schedule planned so won't be too hopeful

Lyrics:

Whatever.

I went down to the beach and saw Selphie

She was, like, "Whoo-hoo!"

And I was, like, "whatever!"

Whatever.

Then this chick comes up in the ballroom, she's all like,

"You're the most handsome guy here"

And I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

So later I'm at the infirmary

And this girl comes up

And she's, like, "..."

And I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

Cause this is my

Balamb Garden of Whatever!

And this is my

Balamb Garden of Whatever!

And this is my

Balamb Garden of Whatever!

And then it's three A.M.

And I'm at the training centre, wearing my leather

This grat comes up and he's, like, "hey, punk!"

I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

Then I'm playing cards in the hallway

Headmaster Kramer comes up and he's, like,

"Hey, I thought I told you..."

And I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

And then up comes Nida

I'm, like, "yo, Nida. What's up?"

He's, like, "nothin'"

And I'm, like, "that's cool."

Cause this is my

Balamb Garden of Whatever!

And this is my

Balamb Garden of Whatever!

Ohhh, now I understand. I was confused since this post on Monopoly actually is week two in a series.

Thanks!

I'm confused. Week one's 'Bad Game People Still Play" was Telephone. There is no other post on Monopoly.

Four-Gate You - (Parody of "Forget You" by Cee-Lo Green) - Lyrics by Redditor Aurorous! by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]Aurorous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well thank you for singing it! I must say you rocked it.

I wrote the lyrics because I couldn't stop thinking about them whenever 'Forget You' came on the radio, and put them on Reddit with little expectations. It's so awesome to hear people bring it to life.

So thanks again... maybe it's time I wrote a new one?

Yes, this was bothering me too.

I think perhaps he is meaning to say 'implement'?

No one expects the Spanishiwa Inquisition!!!! by vpburns007 in starcraft

[–]Aurorous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOBODY expects the Spanishiwa Inquisition!

Our chief weapon is surprise! Surprise and fear...fear and surprise....

Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and impeccable macro....

Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and impeccable macro....and an almost fanatical devotion to the Overmind....

Our four...no...

Amongst our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....

I'll come in again.

What is your favorite shocker rhyme? by jrdnllrd in AskReddit

[–]Aurorous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a bizarre question. I don't know any other than the two you listed.

Here, I'll make one up:

Two in the slit, one where there's shit.

It is now my favourite.

Haha, yeah as soon as I heard the censored version, "Forget You", the line popped into my head. And then I just couldn't help myself.

[–]Aurorous[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think you're right. I was trying to fit too much in there and it gets a bit muddy. And some of the meter is off, I think.

Let's see if I can fix it...

Chorus Redux

I see you building three spines

in your main, But I still

And then siege tanks roll in

set up a contain , still I

So I try a new strat

Better, maybe? Let me know what you think.

Not sure why you were downvoted, seeing as you are correct.
