Talk:Rocket Ship

From This Might Be A Wiki

"Rocket Ship is the 1992 demo of a song that didn't get any further than this, because the chorus was cannibalized to make Spiraling Shape." doesn't seem quite right to me.. is that a TMBG Unlimited quote or did somebody write it themselves? I mean, it seems more like that RS wasn't rejected because they used the chorus for a later song, just that it was rejected, and then later canablized for the new song. I mean, four years is a long time. Anybody agree? -TDK

Well, obviously the song was rejected, because it never got beyond the demo form. Martorano

If you read what I said again you'll see that I agreed with the fact that they rejected it. What I was questioning was whether or not they had Spiraling Shape in mind when they did. -TDK 20:26, 5 Feb 2006 (CST)

Sorry, didn't mean to sound argumentative ;) I think that's a good question.Martorano

It's from the newsletter. I just added a note on that. -Buschap

Just heard this on dialasong.com. i love how it was a boring, not all that great tmbg song at first, and then, almost randomly, the future spiraling shape chorus pops up, and it becomes instantly recognizable.--4.143.134.145 20:28, 1 Jun 2006 (CDT)

I'm sort of sad that they didn't use this song in any of their albums. I kinda like it. I like this part of the song the most:

Messed up my face when we fell off the sofa

I injured my hair when we fell from the plane

But nothing can hurt me, I have no nerve endings

I lost so much blood that I'm ready to faint -CuppaCoffee 16:41 7 June 2006 (EDT)

Then I'm guessing you haven't heard the song Spiraling Shape on Factory Showroom. -CapitalQ / @ / 16:53, 7 Jun 2006 (MDT)
Nope. -CuppaCoffee 20:52, 9th June 2006 (EDT)
Well, those lines become:
Put out your hands and you fall through the window
And clawing at nothing you drop through the void
Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned
In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape -CapitalQ / @ / 18:57, 9 Jun 2006 (MDT)
Oh. Well, ok. - CuppaCoffee 19:03, 9th Jun 2006 (EDT)
WOAH! I just heard Spiraling Shape from a video made by Klimdeeni and I think it's better than Rocket Ship! - CuppaCoffee 21:28, 9th June 2006 (EDT)

[edit] Get Back

I just bought Let It Be (the Beatles), and after I heard "Get Back," I thought its chorus ("get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged") sounded a little too similar to Rocket Ship in the part, "on a trip, on a trip, on a trip inside a ro-uh-cket ship." Has anyone else ever noticed this, or am I just weird like that?  ~ magbatz

You're just weird like that. :o -CapitalQ / @ / 02:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
That's what I figured.... ~ magbatz
