    Nope, you're not, it gets on my nerves too! Along with referring to film music as "background score" or simply "background music". tongue

    It really is annoying. In that radio/podcast interview thing with James Newton Howard you may remember was posted a few months ago, James had to politely correct the interviewer when he used the word 'song' while referring to one particular composition. Seems it gets on composers' tits as well.

    "May I correct you in the most respectful way, because I am a huge admiror of your work?"
    biggrin
    Well said James! He could not have been more polite but sincere at the same time.

    Can we please have the most heinous and painful punishments for any board member who dares to call any piece of instrumental score a "song"!?

    I personally recommend "pressing". A large piece of wood is placed on the vile toe rag and then rocks are gradually added onto the wood until the perpetrater slowly has his/her life squeezed out of them in the most agonising way. In fact, this should be considered a service of mercy as nobody should be inflicted with a malady like this, a malfunction in the brain that insists score is song.

    Hey, this punishment looks like fun! Let´s do it!
    I don´t remember anybody calling a piece of instrumental score "song" in this board though.

    I have seen the term used infrequently on other boards though.

    I understand that it can be quite frustrating to read these reviews from people that aren't as "enlightened" as us; we who are blessed with the insight into the true virtues of film music. But it's really not something to get worked up about. Any niche interest like ours will be misunderstood, looked down upon, ignored by the "common heap", so to speak. And in a way, I think that's what ATTRACTS a lot of people to it as well. The exclusiveness of it, being part of something special that isn't mainstream. Personally, I just find them humourous and entertaining.

    By the way, my favourite Amazon review is this one of BLACK LAGOON. It's written by a South Korean guy with limited English skills, so it almost reads like some kind of absurd poetry:

    hey! your! let"s go to movies this weekend.^^ (blue lagoon) i am very happy to see this. and i'm feels happy to have many musics... i went to the bank to get blue lagood CD... It looked as if it made out of precious jewels. There is nothing more important than that. q:Do you know where blue lagoon is? i know ...

    you...-->Close your eyes and imagine a beauti-ful summer day.The sun is shining, there is a warm breeze, and you are free. can you tell me why you like it? if you know... -> fifa21@lycos.co.kr mail send.

    Is it me, or this this a really bad review. I'm not referring to their thoughts on the score, that's opinion, but how they just go totally off topic in the second paragraph when trying to describe why a cue is "funny". rolleyes

    - He didn't write The Circle of Life.

    - he wrote the music dumbass, Tim Rice wrote the lyrics

    - Your stupid. There was an article written a while back that showed the real guy who wrote the song. He was a homeless AFRICAN man, who was paid only 50$ to write the song. Elton John did write can you feel the love tonight though. Don't believe everything the public wants you to believe. dumbass


    haha. Why those kids claim things that have no basis in fact soooo confidently? rolleyes

    iTunes user Smallfro, on The Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber (performed by the Orlando Pops Orchestra):

    "I think it is cool that they turned braodway songs into pop. The singers are good!"

    I know this isn't a film score one, but I just had to post it here. LOL The guy obviously doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, as 1. the singers really aren't that great and 2. just because it's performed by a pops orchestra doesn't mean the music suddenly has a pop sound! rolleyes biggrin

    not many songs. just mostly orchestra ones. was hoping for miley songs.


    The reason why Mickey Record is so stupid is because he read this kind of reviews too much...

    Those kind of comments are so common at non score-related sites that I simply ignore those. But sadly they show how small the ratio of film music fans compared to mainstream (pop, rock etc) fans is.

    Actually I´ve always liked to be part of the minority who love film music. That makes it more magical and interesting. Let the others stick with the studio, soul-less, McDonalds made music.
