LILO & STITCH (2002) dir. Chris Sanders, Dean DeBlois

[chaoflaka]

Everybody try and guess what Stitch said.

[dana-chan325]

Nerd Time: 

But I think there was actually an article in a Disney Magazine that transcribed a lot of Stitch’s alien language from back in the day that I actually remember reading!

and for some one who grew up watching the Lilo and Stitch TV series it was a godsend (cause Stitch spoke “alien” in the series way more then then english in the TV show for whatever reason, even if he should of been fluent after so much time with Lilo. Smarter then a super computer my left buttcheek I think Stitch is just stubborn) 

They only had a few casual words of Tantalog (the language of Jumba’s species that most of the experiments spoke) 

I suggest looking up some of the linguistics of Tantalog on the Lilo and Stitch Wiki! 

The alphabet is really in depth and they based it on native Hawaiian, Chinese and Chezcreekian. 

And I remember being able to understand some of Stitch’s linguistics due from context clues alone. 

So long story short:

Meega = Me/I

Nala = either “I want to” or “evil” 

Kweesta = “Destroy”

Meega Nala Kweesta = “I want to destroy”

Although, Given the context and the council’s reaction, I think a more appropriate translation is the implied as a direct threat: “I want to destroy all of YOU”

Like “I want to cause problems on purpose/ I will fuck all y’all up” 

Also I’m tagging @xryn-art in my rambles. Idk if they even like Lilo and Stitch but I think the Linguistics side of the IZ fandom would find this interesting.

So.

The Sound of Silence is probably one of my favorite songs ever. When speaking of the “true” Simon and Garfunkel version (as opposed to the version where they added background music to in post to make it more “pop radio”), it’s a song that gives me chills.

Disturbed is not a band that I really enjoy. I remember in college, my (now) wife gave me a copy of a Disturbed CD, because she had two for some reason. I tried to listen to it, I really did. Didn’t do anything for me.

But this? Holy fuck, this is stunning. This is amazing.

This gives me chills.

[sophygurl]

Holy shit, you have to listen to the whole sing. 

I have chills. 

[knitmeapony]

Holy SHIT.

[actuallyclintbarton]

This is the band who did “Down With The Sickness”????

UM?????

[jackietastic]

If you stop before three minutes you’re missing the truly mind-blowing bit

[kaar-ne]

Absolutely beautiful. I had chills.

The vocal range on this guy. THE VOCAL RANGE ON THIS FUCKING GUY.

[wasdplz]

I fuckin love Disturbed and always loved it when they did covers. This is amazingggg

[thelittlenoctua]

i fucking love this video and i fucking love david draiman and his voice

[eliciaforever-deactivated201906]

Fun fact: Paul Simon loves this cover and sent a letter to David telling him so.

[naamahdarling]

What he’s doing? That perfect knife-like clarity to anguished, grating cry? From everything I know about singing, not being a singer myself but having lived with someone who WAS trained, that is NOT easy.  That is VERY difficult.  I’m not acquainted enough with Disturbed to know what his range is like since I’ve only heard a few songs, but just based on this one song, the versatility of his voice is amazing.  It always just blows me the fuck away.
