Ok, so Typhy started a RvS game with the title: "I see a red door and I want it painted black..." Quickly, I inform him that the correct lyrics are "...I want to paint it black..." hence the name of the song, "Paint it Black." He then tells me that the lyrics are "...want it painted black..." because the name of the song is, well... "Painted Black."

A bet is made. First, I bet 300 dollars, confident that the song is "Paint it Black." Typhy shot the bet up to 50,000, and as I contemplated what kind of new car I'd buy with the money, I accepted quickly.

So what does Typhy show me to "prove" he's right?

Blood-Dance.net
and...
Stylus Magazine


What do I use for proof? Far more substantial evidence.

First, I start with a GoogleFight™:

The results:

painted black (5 800 000 results)
versus paint it black (9 840 000 results) - The winner is: paint it black


Next up, the official Rolling Stones homepage:

Song #17: Paint it Black




So. Who's right?

I thought the original Rolling Stones lyrics went some thing like this:

PAINT IT BLACK
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

Interesting. The lyrics could in fact be "...painted black..."

The poll, however, is regarding the actual title of the song. I'm not 100% confident of what the lyrics are. In fact, I'm now starting to lean in favor of them being "...painted black..."

However, I'm still 100% sure that the title is "Paint it Black." Typhy owes snipe $50,000, paid in cash.

When you take into account the interest on your premium account, which I bought you, you still owe me about 500,000 bucks from that.

While the song title may be Paint It Black, the origonal debate was over the lyrics.

you are also refering to the lyric and not just the title. The title is Paint it black and the lyric is I want it painted black. So at all I think this is a tie! Both were wrong in one way and I won!!! clapping hands

Btw get the rock version from Gob, played also in the Stir of Echoes movie. Very nice song.

Bye,

Yes, I admitted that I may be wrong about the lyrics (why the fuck wouldn't they just follow the song title?!), but what I was positive about was the song title itself, which Typhy insisted was "Painted Black," which it isn't.

Basically, Typhy's lyrics were fine, but me questioning them led to the fact that he doesn't even know the real title.

The poll question is specifically:
Quote
Did the Rolling Stones write a song called "Paint it Black" or "Painted Black"?

Therefore...

I win!






P.S. Typhy: Led Zeppelin  Wink
