Zombified Song Lyrics

Never Tear You Apart
To the tune of Never Tear Us Apart by INXS

“Don’t eat me”
What I heard from you
Don’t want to kill you
Or chew your body parts

I
I was shambling
You were scared
Hunger subsided
And I will never tear you apart

Never Tear You Apart

To the tune of Never Tear Us Apart by INXS

“Don’t eat me”

What I heard from you

Don’t want to kill you

Or chew your body parts

I

I was shambling

You were scared

Hunger subsided

And I will never tear you apart

6 Tools for Editing and Recording Audio

[via TechJaws]

“If you have a large collection of music, you might have thought of editing the sound track for yourself by adding or removing part of it. There are many audio editing tools available that allow you to do the same – edit audio files, like you edit text files by cut, copy and paste. Many of these tools also support audio recording, if you are planning to create your own album then you can edit your tracks by yourself.”

Marian Call Sings About BSG and Firefly [Geeky Songs]

“The songs on Marian’s new album “Got to Fly” are inspired by Firefly/Serenity and Battlestar Galactica, and by the fans and friends she’s met by coming out of the closet as a nerd:

‘Good Old Girl’ is about Starbuck and the ships she flies; ‘Dark Dark Eyes’ is for River, ‘It’s Good to Have Jayne on Your Side’ is, well, obvious. The spunky, unapologetic nerd anthem ‘I’ll Still Be a Geek After Nobody Thinks It’s Chic’ will doubtless make you bob your head in awkward agreement as you listen.”
