Basara Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 For those who own it... listen to the song "Idol Talk" from the Macross Plus OST... and tell me that isn't a sample from some kind of porn video clip or something in the background... You know... the voice over bit that goes: "... Take a closer look... mmm.. very nice..." For the sake of typing a family friendly post, I'll leave it up to you to listen to the rest but... well... I didn't notice it before. Quote
Beware of Blast Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 There was a thread here about it last year. You're right about the sukebei stuff though I doubt it's just a sample as far as Yoko Kanno's work is concerned. Quote
Stargazer Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Has anyone noticed the whispers in the background of Santi-U then? On the part where Sharon is chanting? I can't make out if the whispers are words or whatever... but it's there... can someone hear if it's words or just random whisper-noises? I get the feeling that the voice is telling something or something like that... I've heard all of Sharon's songs a few million times but I only noticed this little detail last week... that CD just keeps growing on me... Quote
The Shade Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 You should listen carefully to the rest of that voice over from Idol Talk. Man, that really is pure porn, one of the best teases out there. Quote
SkullLeaderVF-X Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 I heard something on my cd. It goes.."Can you feel my lips around your rock hard C&%K?" then goes "Mmmmm, very nice" I thought I was imagining it, but yeah it's there. Quote
JB0 Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 I heard something on my cd.It goes.."Can you feel my lips around your rock hard C&%K?" then goes "Mmmmm, very nice" I thought I was imagining it, but yeah it's there. The ACTUAL line(I listened to it several times to make absolutely sure I wasn't delusional) is "can you feel my juices around your rock hard "... Quote
yellowlightman Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Well, I'm pretty sure the whole song is about phone sex. Look at the title (Idol Talk) and look at what Sharon does while singing it in the concert in the second episode... Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 I love her work especialy in Escaflowne, and Cowboy Bebop, as for that last part in Idol Talk I don't think it came from a porno clip. I believe it was reference to Sharon Apple, being that it that character singing the song. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Sharon Apple, the Lil Kim of the Macross universe. or Christina Aguilera, if you prefer! B) Quote
Basara Posted September 7, 2003 Author Posted September 7, 2003 Well, if it wasn't a sample... I'd have to applaud the production team for doing that tiny little clip in decent English... no mangled Engrish... though that owul dhave really taken the steam out of the whispers. Ahhh.... but the thing is... Sharon Apple was being run by Myung... so.... You really couldn't blame Guld, eh? Quote
Vostok 7 Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 And where can I get this CD? [abombz] Sukebe!! [/abombz] Vostok 7 Quote
JB0 Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Well, if it wasn't a sample... I'd have to applaud the production team for doing that tiny little clip in decent English... no mangled Engrish... though that owul dhave really taken the steam out of the whispers. Heh. Quote
Basara Posted September 8, 2003 Author Posted September 8, 2003 The Macross Plus OST 1 and 2 are available at all good anime music stores everywhere. Or you could always order through the net. It's all over the place. Like movie editions of Macross Plus... they never sell the OVA anymore... Quote
SilverValkyrie Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 Hey, let's lay off this song...I love those lyrics...and whoever said look at the clip is right...the song was written just for that. And it works perfectly with everything Sharon wants....to seduce Isamu, give him what she thinks he needs, etc. YK just happens to have a way fo making music that actually connects with the work...which is why she's soo good. Valkyrie Quote
isamu Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 (edited) Damn you guys are just now catching this? Anyway the song is sung by Akino Arai one of Yoko's best friends. Akino is the one that actually says the line in question. There was an interview I read on some Akino Arai fan site where she said she was kinda reluctant to say that line(knowing exactly what it means), but because she enjoyed performaning the song as a whole and knew that yoko wanted it in there, she obliged.

yellowlightman Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 Damn you guys are just now catching this? Er... You say that after digging up a month old thread? <_< Quote
myk Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 I have thought Macross Plus to be many things, but I never ascribed it to be sensual in the least....Gotta' listen to the details... Quote
Jester Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Now here's a head frakk for you............................ Doesn't that girl saying those lovely, yet naughty things sound like . . . . . . . . . . Liz Hurley, doing a phone sex chatline ??? LOL Sounded like her to me Quote
Vostok 7 Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 ohhhhhh it's Akino Arai?!?!?! I really need to find this now... Vostok 7 Quote
isamu Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 ohhhhhh it's Akino Arai?!?!?! I really need to find this now...Vostok 7 Don't use up all the vaseline at once Quote
eyevocal Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Just ran across this in a Google search. Here's some massive necroposting for you, but it looks like nobody else twigged to this, so... Being a fan of experimental music, I got some pretty wicked deja vu listening to "Idol Talk" for the first time. That's because the phone sex call samples in it were taken from the first album by Robin Rimbaud's project Scanner, released in 1992. As the name implies, a scanner radio was used to pick up cell phone conversations (which was possible back in the early days of cell phones), which make up a lot of this album's content. You can listen to (the sample source starts at 1:30 in the main track) and buy the digital reissue of the album here:  https://scanner.bandcamp.com/album/scanner-1 Edited March 16, 2022 by eyevocal added one word ("source") to make it a little tidier.

valk1j Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Wow, so it was a sample. Listening to this is like pulling stuff from the dark web...lol. Quote

eevli Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 So I think it's safe to say that Akino Arai is not saying that line. Nice work @eyevocal Quote
Sildani Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Not that the info wasn’t nifty, or on topic, but dang, this is probably the most successful thread necromancy I’ve ever, or will ever, see. Long live Macross, indeed! Quote
Zethus Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Wow, info got debunked 18 years later due to someone doing ACTUAL research Quote
Eden Orange Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 Was there a mass Macross Plus subliminal suggestion recently?? I have been wondering the source of the "dirty talk" in this track for a LOOOOONG TIME! Just recently pulled the CD out for a nostalgia play and became curious again, so I hit the Google and was NOT disappointed! @eyevocal Damn... Thanks for this one! FINALLY... I'll get a peaceful night of sleep. lol Quote
Shawn Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 Wow...3:30 on the Scanner vs 2:20 on Idol talk...that is just crazy! Quote
