Gatagordinha Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I am disappointed with the studio version of this song . I loved the live version from the Roxy, and other live versions, it is so vibrant and really skips along. I find this studio version a bit plodding though and I can't really hear the piano. Plus, the part at the end is muddied by having the Beach Boysish part overlayed with the coda (is that the right word?) and I don't think that works at all. It's still a good song but for me, musically, it's the only real letdown on the album. Lyrically however it is quite hilarious, with the munter thing and also the double D bust (thanks for that Mika ). And I will still really enjoy it live.

suzie Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 ^What does coda mean ? I has a different meaning in classical music vs pop music. I think Gata meant the end of the song, when music is fading out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandilambi Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 This lyric simply makes me cackle with laughter, specifically because of how he sings it. I must have re-wound that part of the song at least 5 times last night in my boyfriend's car. Lookin' out for a man who's golden Doesn't matter if he's old, he's rollin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the part at the end is muddied by having the Beach Boysish part overlayed with the coda (is that the right word?) and I don't think that works at all. I fully agree. Many of the songs on this album have more than one vocal piece with two different lyrical bits overlayed on top of one another, which works in a lot of cases (One Foot Boy, for example). But it makes me mental in Good Gone Girl. It's SO much better live when the "ooh, ooh, ooh, good gone girl" bit and the "she's walking around..." bit are each given their own space to breathe. I especially love it live when he kills the instruments and ends it nearly acapella. I don't know why they elected to overlay those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I will admit right now that I haven't read the whole thread. I did a quick little search to see if I could come up with a definition for munter (thankyou for filling in the gaps in my slang knowledge), and while I was looking I found someone saying that they heard more syllables in part of the first verse than the words would seem to indicate. I've checked the lyrics on the front and it says "Like a movie that is filled with lust". I also heard more syllables and was sure that I was hearing "Like a movie that is thrilling to the last". Obviously I was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard Good Gone Girl live so I can't compare the live version and the studio version, but I think the way they overlaid the choruses is nice.

Haley & Megan Meyer Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 This is by far one of our favorite songs from the album. It's so catchy and really great. Don't know if they are right but we are singing the lyrics the same way they are on Mikafans.net Don't know if they are right but that's what we sing when we sing along.:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I listened and listened and I wanted the word to be punter, but I really heard munter; my son says it's like minger - usually applied to girls but doesn't have to be. So munter it is then (maybe ) He does. I realised it defininitely is munter when I heard it in Amsterdam too. A little bit of my brain went 'tick' I still don't like the word though. And: what does munter mean? Mika's songs also fill my gaps of the english language, e.g. from Grace Kelly brink, and from Billy Brown nook. It was an early call by Gatagorina (Sp?) who worked out it was munter..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
