![]() ![]() If a Chinese man were caught investigating Tiananmen Square, he would be punished as though he had been stealing from the Big Cookie himself, Mao Zedong - with a horrible, horrible death, and his body ground up and put in a jar, after which he would certainly not be fine. In fact, their control over all forms of media is better than that of American programs such as the FCC. Bush would not have been able to attend Yale in Beijing.īecause China is Communist and restrictive of the wonderful internet, Chinese people are unable to Google the events at Tiananmen Square. Some individuals saw this as a tragedy, while many others rejoiced at these events, as they opened up new funding lines for poor graduate students. Unfortunately, the tanks proved hard to control, and several students were killed. Angered by this act, the Chin ese g overnment sent remote-control led tanks into the Square to chase them out. Several students broke through the defenses of the Square, and simply stood about. In 1989, college students, protesting the restrictive nature of the Chinese government, used the Square to exhibit their defiance of Chinese authority. Since then, the Square has been an icon of Chinese control. Shortly thereafter, for fear of losing the $10, Chairman Mao Zedong established the Square, and set up a perimeter around it to keep the citizens and tourists out. I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my.On his visit to China, President Richard Nixon noted the overcrowded-ness of the nation, and quipped, "I'll bet you 10 bucks that you guys don't even have a single square kilometer that doesn't have one of you guys in it." Upon investigation, the Chinese government determined that what Nixon said was true.

Was fashion the reason why they were there? Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square? " Psycho" (Live at the London Astoria - Clean) All live tracks were recorded at the Hurricane Festival 2005 show, except where noted.Another meaning that can come from the chorus is that while propaganda is rampant, life goes on. However, from the point of a listener, this may well mean again, the reference to the "simple minded". The chorus is unrelated with the rest of the song: in an interview with MTV, Daron stated that the song was written while he was actually sitting in his car waiting for his girlfriend. The song's lyrics in the verses reference the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and propaganda. At 1:53 in the video a woman is seen flashing her boobs to a camera on the far right, the exposure could have been unoticed or simply missed by the editing and it is uncensored. Unknown to many, there is brief nudity in the video. This could possibly be the pesticide referred to in the song Attack of the same album. The beginning and ending of the video show a helicopter spraying red matter across Grand Rapids (Forming at the end the album's artwork). The music video is mostly footage from one of the band's September 2005 concerts, (filmed at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan) but includes a CGI scene of painting along with the music the audio is dubbed over with the studio track. ![]() The song leads up to a massive crescendo, then ends with a repeated portion of the opening riff with soft singing by Malakian. The Eastern-themed instrumental bridge contains at least four overdubbed clean guitar tracks and a well-crafted, syncopated rhythm. Musical discontinuities like this can be found all over the song and creates heavily psychedelic tone. Even stranger is the minor-key bridge, which loyally follows the chords expected from an F# minor song (F#m, D, Bm, E, A, and C#). This produces a direct switch from a major key to the minor key of the same name. The opening guitar riff and early verses use an upbeat melody that follows the F# major scale, but with a flatted sixth (a D instead of a D#). It is difficult to determine whether the key is F# minor or F# major. Musically, "Hypnotize" is somewhat of an enigma. The combination of the two vocalists gives the song a vocal range, with Serj handling the lower verses and Daron delivering the high parts of the refrains. Serj and Daron perform a harmony in the refrain before and after the instrumental bridge. As in many Mezmerize/Hypnotize songs, guitarist Daron Malakian accompanies Serj Tankian in the vocal sections. ![]()
