[Reply #81 on:]

you should Add Me First and The Gimme Gimmes' - Walking On Sunshine, for those who can't take the older version. Both are good.. But grape is more favorite.

Nice selection.

[Reply #82 on:]

Pretty neat, but one thing missing: THE SAFETY DANCE!

[Reply #83 on:]

*singing* dun, dun, dandun,..dadun, dadun, dun dun */singing*

Will be added when i come back from university

Added!

[Reply #84 on:]

What about the song from Anthology of Interest 2!
I don't know what the title is but I believe David X Cohen says it's by The Miami Sound Machine!
And what about Angry Machine (a.k.a The hypnotoad) played over and over again!

[Reply #85 on:]

Yes, will be added:

3acv18 Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine - Conga (Dance mix)

Added

I still think there have to be more songs from season 1 and 2.

And how long do you think the Hypnotoad sound should last?
3.5 mins OK?       

Edit:
I also added

that sounds awsome, i can't wait to hear it, when you're finish are you gonna put it somewhere on the site? cause it's got like everything ever put on the show, and i love the soundtrack of futurama

[Reply #87 on:]

The problem is that all these songs are copyrighted!
And as a German in Bureaucratistan you'll can get very, very much trouble if you share it on the net!

[Reply #88 on:]

i like that Scarborough fairs on there, seen as how thats my home town it makes me proud to know it got mentioned on Futurama,
*starts singing scarbouragh national antham (that dosnt excist) hand on chest, tear comes to eye, wipes it away swiftly*

You didn't recognized it in Bendin' in the wind?
Then take this as your anthem:

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to the one who lives there,
She once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Without no seam or needlework,
She once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And gather it all with a basket of flowers,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Ask her to buy me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Between some water and the stand,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to the one who lives there,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
 
The version of Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkel is more complex than these main lyrics.

 

Edit: Woo, 88th Post! (on the threrad)

<german>*lifts arm* Jawohl!</german>     

For everyone who doesn't get this:

Show spoiler

'h' is the 8th letter on the alphabet, so 88 stands for 'hh', or Heil Hitler.
Oh and no, I'm not a Nazi. I'm more left than right!

[Reply #90 on:]

O. K. ... *backs away slowly*   

yes i did recognise it in cylo and garfunkles part in "Bendin' in the wind" (after abou the 5th time i watched it    )

I Love the 'baby loves child' son aswell, it Grrrrreat!

I must say though, great work, you see to have compiled quite the comprehensive list of songs here.

Wow, I didn't know that this german "joke" got so far around the world (Ok, London isn't that far)

Update!

Well I try to get this list completed, but I think there are so many refers to songs in our beloved show that you can hardly get them all.
If anyone wants to help, post it here (especially all Season 4 ones, cos I don't have the DVD's)

Also, can someone give me the title of the song that bender sings, when he is executed by good ol' Maggie in A tale of two Santas?
I found a version by Joan Baez (she sung it at Woodstock), but I don't know how this traditional is called.

Here the updates:
07. 1acv09 - Beastie Boys - Intergalactic *new*
08. 1acv09 - Beastie Boys - Super Disco Breakin' *new*
10. 1acv10 - James Horner - Titanic Theme *new*
27. 3acv03 - Joan Baez - Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (Woodstock version) *new*
36. 3acv19 - Johann Strauss - An der schönen blauen Donau *new*
40. 3acv22 - Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love *new*
47. 4acv11 - Eminem - The Real Slim Shady *new*

In other news:

I googled around for a Futurama songlist and found a "Ten years after" webpage.
There is said that the song "Year 3000 blues" << is the perfect song for fans of the TV show Futurama >>
(Scroll down to the album "Chricklewood green", or search for Futurama).

Can somone tell me how these lyrics are perfect for a Futurama fan? I don't get it.

  Ten years after - Year 3000 blues

They took me down the grading station
And they classified me zed
'Cause of over population
They told me that I would soon be dead
But I slipped out of the force field
And hid beneath the monorail
But the automatic blood hounds
Lord, they're soon hot along my trail
Now if I had been a scholar
With computer working hard
Then my molecular structure
Would not be on the grader's card
So, I know that they will get me
Put my index in the brain
Then, the atoms of my body
Will be disposed of, Lordy, down the drain
They took me down the grading station
And they classified me zed
'Cause of over population
They told me that I would soon be dead

Bender sings "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" doesn't he?

It's a famous song in England, and pretty much became their national anthem for the period around them winning the Rugby World Cup.

[Reply #94 on:]

Sorry if this is wrong thread for this, but can anybody please point me to any fan assembled song compilations (for CD download) of 'The Simpsons'?

I love the Futurama one I got off PEEL, and now lust after one of The Simpsons...

Should have been obvious that this song is called "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot".

@moonbus69: Search in amazon.com for Simpsons in category popular music, and you'll get this. I hope this helps.

.zip the file and send it to us all. great idea, idleaint (at this moment, i'm patting myself on the shoulder)

[Reply #97 on:]

Yeah, Songs in the Key of Springfield is top notch.. The same sort of CD, with quotes and songs and remixes of the themes, but for Futurama would be awesome.

[Reply #98 on:]

Wow, someone bumped it

1. I would like to, but after I did some math:

We have 3 hours and 13 minutes of music at a bitrate of 128 kBit per second. (176 MB of mp3)
Seeing that my connection does a maximum upload of the same 128kBit (16kb), but reaches an avareage upload bandwidth of about 96KBit (12kb), gives a simple comparison:

The upload for each mail would at least last 3 h and 13 minutes, butt more like 4 hours.

2. I don't know if thre is any mail-service provider that has mailboxes that big. Most I know have a maximum mail size of 10 or 20 MB, but not 176!

So I think that won't work   

back on topic.

I still think that this compilation isn't complete, there maybe still some songs from season 4 left (also some of 1-3). If anyone still has a song which has to be added, just post it here 

[Reply #99 on:]

I checked through your list and I can't seem to find "Daisy, Daisy" from "Love and Rocket". forgive me if its there and I'm just short sighted.

[Reply #100 on:]

The song is actually called "A Bicycle Built For Two", I think..

[Reply #101 on:]

Yeah I didn't know the actual name but have you got it GFF?

[Reply #102 on:]

I have a version of that song (A traditional children's song ?!? ), but I don't know whether it is the same used in Love and Rocket.

[Reply #103 on:]

 

Originally posted by EvilLunch:

Is that were the name for the episode "A Byclopse Built For Two" comes from?

[Reply #104 on:]

Yeah, thats what I thought when I heard the title.

[Reply #105 on:]

Yes, I think they named that episode afer this song (I mean it seems obvious ?! )

In other news I found another version of this song.

Now I have
-an only arcoustic version by john fahey
-a children version sung by a guy with some children

Which is better?

And second: I will add 'Danny Boy' (sung by Zoidberg at Bender's funeral in A Pharaoh to remember), but also here I'm not sure which version:
-Elvis Presley (3:57)
-The Pogues (2:32)
-An irish traditional from the 30's (3:13)
-Sinead o'Connor (6:14)

Cos I prefer old and calm music I would take  Elvis or Sinead o'Connor, but the Pogues' version isn't bad either! What do you think?

[Reply #106 on:]

I'll go with the Pogues, as it is lovely and short. If there's one thing I hate it's artists who drag songs on too long.
A Bicycle Built for Two is a very old song. It was old when the Chipmunks sang it, man! But it's a good one.

[Reply #107 on:]

Definately not Sinead 'O' Conner (6:14!?!). I'll go for the Pogues aswell, short but enjoyably sweet!

[Reply #108 on:]

3ACV15: The Miracles - Love Machine

[Reply #109 on:]

Ok, you convinced me, here is what I added to the soundtrack:

34. 3acv15 - Smokey Robinson and The Miracles - (I'm just a) Love machine *new*
36. 3acv17 - The Pogues - Danny Boy *new*
45. 4acv03 - John Fahey - A bicycle built for two *new*

Thanks Popetastic, if you got more songs, keep them coming 

[Reply #110 on:]

Hmmmmm.... what about 'Sweet Georgia Brown?' (The Globetrotters theme).
Also, 'Dueling Banjos,' from The Deep South. Because you always need to put it in a compilation, for any old flimsy reason. 

[Reply #111 on:]

Sorry SJM for the late answer, but it took some time to find your suggestions in these episodes
(Sweet Georgia Brown is whistled by bender same as Duelling Banjos, although it was really short      )
I found the Brother Bones  -  Sweet Georgia Brown (Harlem Globetrotters Theme) version
as well as versions by

• the Beatles (really early recording, not the fab4) (2:07)
• Louie Armstrong (4:01)
• Glen Miller (2:48)
• Ella Fitzgerald (3:32)

and two versions of Duelling Banjos:

• an accoustic version with two Banjos (sounds crappy and is very slow) (3:23)
• a live version  of Bob Dylan & Tom Petty (a really good piece of music, but beside the name hardly the same, I think) (7:30)
  

[Reply #112 on:]

Louie Armstrong, definitely.

[Reply #113 on:]

Ok I added these
   

16. 2acv12 - Tom Petty & Bob Dylan - Duelling Banjos *new*
35. 3acv14 - Louie Armstrong - Sweet Georgia Brown *new*

I took the Petty and Dylan version of Duelling Banjos, the other sounded really like crap.

Wow, now this compilation are three CD's of great music! (196MB of mp3's)

edit: a '/' for the quote-tag was missing

[Reply #114 on:]

What's the other Beck song ? something like "Can't you hear those cavalry bells..." or something.. ?

[Reply #115 on:]

This song is called : SEXX LAWS

here are the lyrics

Seeing as I haven't look at this thread for a while sorry for the belated reply to this. The only reason I know this joke is because I learn German at school and our teacher tells us about stuff like this every now and then.

Thanks, yes all songs are great,  that there are so many songs from style I like (60's up to the 80's) is one of the facts why I love Futurama.

Also I've added the 2nd Beck song
________

34. 3acv13 - Beck - Sexx Laws *new*
________

<german>Meinen Respekt an deinen Deutschlehrer</german>

But please be careful when saying such quotes in Germany.
Although Europe seems to be OK with doing little jokes about that, it is not heard with pleasure in Germany.

For example: A good friend of mine is a Jew. It's pretty normal for me and others to call him with the word jew, but it nearly got us into troubles when we called him that way in University. Everyone got us very angry looks, and not because we were distrubing the lesson.

[Reply #118 on:]

What's that surf song from Fry And The Slurm Factory? You know, the one that plays whenever Slurms McKenzie appears. That song's cool.

[Reply #119 on:]

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's an original song. It was originally the temp song for the animatics and whatnot, but the producers liked it so much they left it there.
