From Vincent to Ghengis
Today I found myself humming Miike Snow's "Ghengis Khan", which I tend to do from time to time. But much to my surprise, I found myself asked by my significant other why I hum the melody of "Vincent", that by now 40 years old short film masterpiece by Tim Burton.
And gosh, she's right! There is a striking semblance to both melodies. But please, go hear for yourselves. Firstly, "Vincent" (1982), by Tim Burton, with music by Ken Hilton. Listen closely to the first tunes:
youtube
And secondly, the first lines of "Ghengis Khan" (2016), by Miike Snow. Once more, listen closely, tis time to the first lines of the song:
youtube
Striking resemblance, don't you think? And if you ask me, it's pure coincidence, but a charming one. There might even be some sweet piece of music theory involved, but so far I did not find the time to delve into this rabbit hole.
Ah, and are you ready for a little encore? There's been a silly little commercial by the deodorant manufacturer Axe, about an eunuch taking a shower. There will be q u i t e some silliness, but more importantly, our eunuch friend will lilt a certain tune:
youtube
The best thing about this is that the commercial seems to have aired first during the late nineties (it's a bit hard to pin down, though). So we have the same melody, returning every 17 years or so, in entirely different contexts. A lovely piece of music mythology, isn't it? And we only have to wait eleven more years for its next incarnation!

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.
It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.
#she cornered me in the car and asked what shipping was and i almost had a fucking heart attack#imagine being like 16 years old and habing to explain knotting to your mother#random emo music girl I'm glad you had fun talking about your Band Guys to my mother#bc i also attended take your kid to work day at that office and i know how boring it was#but christ alive why did you have to fuck me like that?#anyways i hope this post reaches you so at the very least you know i think about you at least once a week#this has been weighing on me for ten years#im almost tempted to blaze this post

I find it incredibly funny from a meta/author perspective, that Ancient Greece decided to name their protagonist that angers many people “Anger Bringer” but, even funnier, is the in universe understating that anyone who meets Odysseus must have had the thought “oh dear, how unfortunate to be named hateful/hated” and then they have exactly One conversation with him and go “Ah I see now”
For reference, Odysseus’ name sounds very much like the Greek word odussomai, which can roughly mean “I am angry at” or “I am the cause of anger” (or simply “to hate” or “to dismiss”), a fact that is used for ironic effect frequently in the Odyssey.
It’s also specifically stated in Book 19 that Odysseus’ grandfather, a master thief and one who has also pissed off a lot of people, specifically named him this because “I am disliked by many, all across the world, and I dislike them back. So name the child Odysseus.” 19.428
Bro looked at his grandson and thought “Ahaha, this one’s going to be a troublemaker like me. Better get him started early.”
It’s like a terrible allegory for cause and effect or something.

#back to the present!#the most important takeaway from this is clearly that the sound of music is canon.#also because i feel like its hard to convey tone sometimes#ghost's being sarcastic when he says “you play favourites”#just poking fun at price so he can “regain ground” in their verbal sparring match#simon ghost riley#captain john price#monster 141 au#giragi art
