Pun of the day:
I don’t want to be beautiful.
I don’t want to be you the fool.
Everybody knows James Blunt now, because of “You’re beautiful”.
James might be quite blunt with the lyrics of his song “You’re beautiful”, but that breakout hit has reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 this year.
Who doesn’t know James Blunt now? Everyone, from little kids to aunties uncles ah lian ah beng to neighbours colleagues classmates bosses to your gym instructor to the petrol kiosk worker, all are now praising each other’s gorgeousness. Maybe James Blunt should really get a Nobel prize for this world-peace-promoting song.
It’s really amazing how a song can tahan so long. Few months after the release, it is still playing like mad on the radio today.
And i know you all like this song. But i’m just a little bit annoyed by the omnipresence of said song and it’s disturbing lyrics.
I was talking to a friend about him today.
Cheesie:: Dammit this is the 4th time i heard You’re Beautiful on the same bloody channel today!Friend: Haha. It’s nice what.
Cheesie:: Of course it is. But it is only nice when you don’t play it round-the-clock for half a year consecutively.
Friend: Can’t complain. Everybody can sort of relate to the song in some way. Typical heartbreak song la, you are not getting the person you want most. 🙁
Cheesie:: I actually like the melody very much, but when i really listened to the lyrics right, i kinda felt disgusted leh.
Friend: *shocked* Huh why?! It’s such a sweet and touching song! Not to mention so kesian too.
Cheesie:: Kesian yes touching no. More like pathetic and perverted. Man, imagine it’s some middle-age, balding, balls-scratching horny ah pek crooning the song while ogling at Jessica Alba’s poster. Can you imagine!!
Friend: You damn potong steam. -_-
I dunno la. You all tell me if i’m the only who thinks like that. -_-
Original Lyrics
“You’re Beautiful” by James very the BluntMy life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I’m sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won’t lose no sleep on that,
‘Cause I’ve got a plan.
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ – video/radio edited version]
Fucking high, [ – CD version]
And I don’t think that I’ll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it’s time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
********************************************************
James has got a monumentally boring music video. I think i can do better than him looking as if he’s just fell into a longkang and stripping off throughout the MV, seriously.
Check out Cheesie’s version of “You’re beautiful” MV stills. Lyrics edited to enhance the beauty of the song.
If you have that song, please play it and sing along with me.
Have cheese.

What a beautiful song right?
🙂
*edit*
There’s a more beautiful verson here . Thanx Blurcase for the link. 🙂
HhHAhAHahahhaha…
that really defines the lyrics… lol…
nice take on the song!! 😛
have a cheesy day… 😉
change ONE the term “you” to “i’m/me” and the whole songs’ nature changes from kesian to monstrosity. Try it.
I’m beautiful, it’s true.
I saw my face in a crowded place,
Yeah, I caught my eye,
As I walked on by.
I could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ – video/radio edited version]
Fucking high, [ – CD version]
imagine that playing all month long… classic man.
LOL, beautiful post. Sent shivers down my spine because of how much work you put into this post (like Kenny Sia).
And it’s also a favorite song of a kesian person who sends funny vibes when I say his name.
Other songs of patheticness:
Kelly Clarkson – Because Of You
Lionel Ritchie – Hello
Hard work you have done!
What about making a real MV instead of pics?
You can find that “Limpeh” at Singapore as the MV actor…
kekeke…
Blunt is faymes here in UK too..is like a national anthem sial. but i nvr liked british musick cos they make me sick. too poppish for me thou, not to mention the lyrics is so blunt, yea like mr.blunt himself. did i mention toni blair make blunt comments in parliment too?

Now, after playing it on the same channel for a year and every days repeating the song dozens of times, can you get it out from your head? lol
You know, music is nice and beautiful only if you dun’t listen to it too many times. =)
is like makin love in the same ol’ position makes u sick aight.
great job in the MV.. i bet you spend some good time on it… =)
i am calling my mom now.. catch you later..
I dun get the MV…o.O
strip poker player???
ah well. nowadays it looks like there’s another song hitting the waves at least on hitz.fm. There, that “I’m so sick of love song..” song. Who’s that nigga who sang that song ?
Each MCs will play that song in their show. Like everyone here, I too agree that listening so many times for a song can be a bad thing. You just get sick of it. Damn.
LOL..LOL..LOL
your funniest post so far,
i just love humour like this. Give us more. 😀
that’s until they make Parody version…

check this 1 out~!!
a really nice one.
good job!
cheers!
I hate that song with a passion. His whiney voice. His cheesy and yes, slightly perverted lyrics, and I just can’t stand the fucking song.
Blurcase: Thanx for the link! A perfect cheese-me-up to beat monday blue.
I’m gonna link it to my post. 😛
i saw that parody last night..
and you’ve got it today..
nice post though…
good job..
but i felt a lot with that song..
really..
dear god, you all have a vendetta against him. id be honest, im a fan of his >.
At least its better than having eminem or d12 being played over and over again. Heard it over the radio for 6 times once, so annoyed.
XD
Anonymous: no doubt i like his songs…esp Goodbye my Lover…i juz dun get his mv…too deep for me to comprehend
btw..thanx for linking cheesie hehe…got to know his songs thru my frenz (like a day ago)…*yeah yeah…i’m abit outdated in the music department*
http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/214/10149/430/yb17.jpg
nice ghetto talk girl.. wonder where you got that from huh? ;o)
seriously funny post that ranks up there with prettyboy etc. your version of the song is soooo much better and not to mention you sing it better too ;o) Blunt always sounds like a cat being strangled :oP
Heh heh. That cracked me up. 😛
If that song was in Mandarin, it’d be remixed by Ah Bengs and played loud loud by all the Beng shops in Sungai Wang already.
But since it’s not in Mandarin, most likely some Taiwanese singer is going to translate it to Mandarin and ruin the whole song.
Actually, is not at all like make love in same position many time… I’m sure you are joking, right 🙂
At the moment this song drive me crazy also because EVERYWHERE play it… if they want us buy this song WHYYYYYY
play it every 5min on different radio channel…. now I hate it and never buy it haha
Thank you for making this post cheesie-sama it express my feeling about this song very well 🙂
i translate it to hokkien…

I don’t see whats wrong with the lyrics. It’s a simple lyric with a pretty direct meaning to it. If you dun interpret it to be perverted then it won’t carry a perverted meaning to it =)
Radio stations that constantly plays the music (or any in fact) on and on and on annoys the hell outa me (hitz fm esp..nowonder I dun listen to that st. anymore). And when a song is overplayed, it’d eventually make you dislike the song and influence the way you interpret the lyrics. The reason why they overplay it is not coz they want you to buy his album but its because the song is topping the chart and hitz fm especially, only plays current popular songs, which narrows down alot on the choices of songs they can play, hence the overplaying of song.
I did see a perverted meaning to it. glad i’m not alone!
it’s overplayed and overrated
have u listen to Goodbye My Lover yet?
funny how this guy is a soldier
Um, cheesie, I was just wondering…
I was reading through your previous entries and I notice you’re taking journalism at Lim Kok Wing?
Is there an A-levels course for journalism too? Just curious as I may want to take it after my spm this year.
I tried to search on the webbie but all they have are art, designing and business o_O
thanks for your help 🙂
^^ haha.. my fren who liked this song owes sing it as ur “boil tofu” (in canto) it’s trueee.. hahaha cos it sounds similar.. damn funny..
Silhouette,
Please dont diss Em and his hommies, D12. Em’s a genius but the radio station is just being too much and spoil the mood… I mean playing their songs too many times.
Btw, I won’t complain for listening Em’s Sing For The Moment for 10 times a day. Well, people tend to be “I don’t mind” to listening their favourite singer.
No hard feelings please. Cheers. Happy Whatever Day.
Ah Nel:Hello! Thanx for the hokkien version. Though i cant understand fully but i kinda get how funny it sounds. 😛
Babybluey:A level? There’s no A level in LUCT but if you mean foundation course for Mass Comm (Journalism or FTV major), yes we do. There’re altogether 8 semesters for the degree program, sem one and sem two (first year) are the foundation for whatever major you’re gonna be in 🙂
Art, design and business are diploma programs. 🙂
Kelly: He’s a soldier? That kinda reminds me of Singapore singer Ah Du. I heard he was a construction worker (or so they say 泥水佬, lol) before he got famous no? They kinda have something in common la, like acting damn kesian and singing songs that send you suicidal vibes. Man i wonder if their kesianess and “exotic” voice have got something to do with their occupation. 😛
Don’t ever underestimate an average joe (yes offence, Joe17301-sama :P), they might turn out to be your idol the next minute.
I came across a sweeter video on youtube. Not the funny one but something from the heart. sadly the couple couldnt be together too.

Find d song very Brit and raw. Have always thought that the song’s lyrics remind of a pyscho stalker, ever since the first time I heard it. But for some reason, the melody makes me very very sad.
They play it all the time in San Jose when i was last there for a business trip too. Various radio stations round the clock.
