What's a good anime for this Pink Floyd song?

Post by RamonesFan2020204 » Wed Jul 14, 2004 1:30 pm

The song's called Not Now John. It's from their album The Final Cut

Fuck all that we've got to get on with these
Gotta compete with the wily Japanese.
There's too many home fires burning
And not enough trees.
So fuck all that
We've go to get on with these.

Can't stop
Lose job
Mind gone
Silicon
What bomb
Get away
Pay day
Make hay
Break down
Need fix
Big six
Clickity click
Hold on
Oh no
Brrrrrrrrrring bingo!

Make 'em laugh.
Make 'em cry.
Make 'em dance in the aisles.
Make 'em pay.
Make 'em stay.
Make'em feel ok.

Not nah John
We've got to get on with the film show.
Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow.
Who cares what it's about
As long as the kids go?
Not now John
Got to get on with the show.

Hang on John we've got to get on with this.
I don't know what it is
But it fits on here like.....
Come at the end of the shift
We'll go and get pissed.
But now now John
I've got to get on with this.

Hold on John
I think there's something good on.
I used to read books but.....
It could be the news
Or some other abuse
Or it could be reusable shows.

Fuck all that we've got to get on with these
Got to compete with the wily Japanese.
No need to worry about the Vietnamese.
Got to bring the Russian Bear to his knees.
Well, maybe not the Russian Bear
Maybe the Swedes.
We showed Argentina
Now let's go and show these.
Make us feel tough
And wouldn't Maggie be pleased?
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah!

"s'cusi dove il bar"
(What?)
"se para collo pou eine toe bar
s'il vous plait ou est le bar"
(...say it in English!...)
"oi, where's the fucking bar John?"
(Oh, now you're talking!)"
"Oh! Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the day
Down!"
"Go, Maggie!"
"Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, Hammer, now!"

If I had to make this video (Pink Floyd songs aren't my favorites), at gunpoint, I'd use a combination of Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi and some Excel Saga filler, for lyric sync. I didn't see a lyric in there that these two shows couldn't sync, at least partially.

I actually always thought that "Not Now John" would be an awesome song to go with Evangelion. Shinji as "John", Gendou as whatever persona Roger Waters was talking through at the time, that grossly overused scene with Miasato and her beer can for the "where's the fuckin' bar" lines (you might do better to skip that last thought, come to think of it). There's plenty of fodder for the rest of the lines, and the mechanical scenes of working on the Eva units or when Seele sends the UN (or whoever it was) in on Nerv with those descending armored things would work well for the mechanical-sounding parts on the "compete with those wiley Japanese" lines.

Or maybe trying to combine the artistic genius (and bloated egos) of Waters and Anno would be a bit much. Won't know until someone tries.
may seeds of dreams fall from my hands -
and by yours be pressed into the ground.
