Talk:Metal Detector

From This Might Be A Wiki

This song has brilliant theoretical underpinnings which I half wish I understood. Maybe we could make a TMBG music theory to explain what makes a brilliant song, just as traditional music theory uses the great moments of the masters as sources. --HearingAid

Hate to say it, but then we'd be stereotyping TMBG. It's like if we had a checklist for the next album or something, which is just odd. Despite my ramblings, I think it'd be a good idea. - Ecks

Hey, I don't have the best ears in the world... can someone point out to me where Flans can be heard in the song?

The backup singing, like right at the beginning "look past the ball", and then in the chorus, he comes in on "over the mine" and "watch it shine". EckSig.gif

I love this one, because, who else could successfully use and rhyme "folderol" in a song? HeWhoYerfs 11:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Weird question, but what's that weird sound throughout the song? Like after: "...of the things that are found under ground..." (Probably wrong lyric, but whatever). It's been bugging me for a while. --Lemita 14:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

It's obviously Big Bob-Omb guest rapping. --ZippZapp 01:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

It sounds like a dog barking! - Not Logged In - Goodtimes2

I thought so, too. Also, I swear I heard a similar outside my window one time; it was pretty creepy. --Mr. 77 18:37, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
