Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Vielleicht kennst du ja das Lied "Pretty fly for a white guy"? Da wird es in genau der gleichen Bedeutung benutzt.

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Nein, kannte ich nicht wirklich, das 'Uh-huh uh-huh' kommt mir aber schon irgendwie bekannt vor. Ich mag ja auch härtere Klänge, und so wechsle ich derzeit häufig zwischen Stuart und Metallica.
Ist diese Bedeutung im englischen Sprachraum gebräuchlich (eine entsprechende Situation vorausgesetzt)?

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Naja, ich hab die Zeile direkt verstanden, also kann der Slang-Ausdruck nicht so ganz unüblich sein.
Normalerweise würde ich bei so einer Frage eine Corpora-Suche machen, aber leider versagt das in dem Fall, da fly als Nicht-Slang-Wort zu häufig auftaucht. Ich hatte drei Treffer für die Bedeutung "cool" im Corpus of American Soap Operas, was zumindest nicht ganz schlecht ist, aber leider auch nicht aussagekräftig.

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Danke für den Tipp mit der Corpora-Suche, auch wenns mich beim ersten Reinsehen erstmal völlig sprachlos gemacht und überfordert hat. Aber das wird schon...
Zitat tiorthan:
Although Metallica is pretty melodic as well.
- Yes, that's exactly what I like about Metallica. Listening to Slayer for example causes earache to me. (Just my opinion, hey Slayer fans out there!)

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Too late for an edit: I suppose it's better to say 'causes me earache' instead of 'causes earache to me'?

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Typically you'd say "gives me a(n) headache" for that. (Choose a or an depending on how you pronounce headache). Earache is usually only used for an actual ache of the ear.
Metal is a pretty nice genre. It is actually pretty close to classical music ... yeah most people wouldn't think that, but Metal is often crafted rather carefully. Not all of it, of course, but the genre is so versatile that you can have composers like Luca Turilli next to bands like Amon Amarth. Even songs that on a first glance seem to just be a lot of people screaming in pain often have rather clever instrumental tracks.

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Oh dear, you do challenge me today, my dear teacher. But I'm fine, I've always known I'll have to go through this one day.
Zitat:
Typically you'd say "gives me a(n) headache" for that.
- Ok, I got it, thank you. And how about saying 'makes my ears ache'?
I pronounce headache like 'hed.eɪk' and I don't know any other way to pronounce it.
Btw: Sometimes I'm not sure which one to choose. For instance 'an apple' (no doubt about it), but if I want to say 'a(n) green apple' - which one is correct? Does it refer to the 'g' in green oder to the 'a' in apple?
Zitat:
It is actually pretty close to classical music
- It's funny to read that. Not long ago I heard somebody say: 'If Beethoven would have written Metal, it would have sounded like Metallica's 'Orion'. I completely agree and I know what I'm going to listen to right now.
Although the time is over, when I was really and exclusively into Metal. Yeah, I used to be a pretty wild one.

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Metallica is awesome. I love their songs, too. 
"It makes my ears ache" is correct, but more often people will say: "It makes my ears hurt."
"Headache" is usually pronounced with an "h" sound at the beginning, but in some dialects the "h" is dropped in pronunciation. That would change the use of "a / an" before it.
"An" is used when the word immediately after it starts with a vowel sound. This is just to make pronunciation easier. So you would say "an apple" because "apple" begins with a vowel sound, but "a green apple" because "green" does not begin with a vowel sound.
I say vowel sound because although most words that use "an" begin with a vowel letter, there are some less common situations where this isn't the case. For example, you would say "an hour" because "hour" begins with an "o" vowel sound, even though the first letter is a consonant: "h".
(However, the use of "a / an" before h-words is different in certain regions, and some people will even use "an" before words that begin with an "h" sound, like "an history.")
Similarly, you will sometimes find a word that begins with a vowel letter but uses "a" because the first sound is not a vowel. For example, you would say "a uniform" because "uniform" begins with a "y" consonant sound even though the first letter is a vowel.

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Hey Schuyler, thanks a lot for your explanations. You mean 'ed.eɪk'? That's hilarious - 'help, my ed aches!' 
So, I don't have to worry any longer 'bout the a/an - question. Though 'a uniform' came as a complete surprise to me.

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Das setzt dem Ganzen noch die Krone auf!'elp, my ed aches!'
Obwohl, wenn ich Keswick's Link (Danke dafür) folge, dann seh ich, dass dieses 'Phänomen' ja wirklich sehr weit verbreitet zu sein scheint. Ich hätte eher vermutet, dass es sich nur auf vereinzelte, weit abgelegene Gebiete bezieht. So gesehen wollte ich mich natürlich nicht lustig darüber machen. Im ersten Moment dachte ich außerdem, dass ihr mich veräppelt.
Kann das auch der Grund sein, warum bei Alpha Blondies 'Heal me' nur 'eal me' gesungen wird? Ich bin mir nicht sicher, aber wenn ich richtig höre, dann verschluckt er das 'L' auch noch. Eigentlich höre ich gar nur 'u can ea me?' (u = who).

Re: Stuart Matthew Price sings "Goodnight Kiss"
Alpha Blondy ist nochmal ein ganz anderer Fall, der ist naemlich von der Elfenbeinkueste und die sprechen eine stark gepraegte Variante des Englischen beeinflusst von diversen afrikanischen Dialekten. Daher singt er auch "U can 'eal me".

Danke Keswick, dann haben wohl wieder meine Ohren zugeschlagen, die neuerdings gerne mal einen Konsonanten überhören oder mir sogar falsch übermitteln.
