Do deaf people really know what inspirational music sounds like?

[Tisiphone]

Discuss.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Have they been deaf their whole life?

 

[Tisiphone]

The majority have, yes. I've always found it odd that we have to bracket stuff like "inspirational music playing," or "theme to Rocky playing" when they haven't a clue what that is.

 

[Dr Dave]

It would all depend on when they went deaf.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Yeah, if I suddenly went deaf I'd want to be informed if Eye of the Tiger or Hoppipolla were being played.

 

[Tisiphone]

No, no...I understand that. Sometimes it just seems odd that I'm bracketing "easy listening music playing."

Pay me no mind. I've got a busted blood vessel in my eye and I can't see the fucking football game (even though I don't need to) but my eye is bothering the shit out of me.

I'm a whiny bitch lately.

I once borrowed a "for deaf people" copy of A New Hope from the Library and whenever R2 made any vocal sounds, bright # marks flashed all over the screen in different colours.

 

[Dr Dave]

That does not seem that helpfull...

 

[Fuddlemiff]

You'd suspect you had a migraine coming on.

 

[Cassie]

Instead of "inspirational music playing" you should substitute it with "menacing death metal playing" now and then.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Or "R2 beeping".

 

[Laker_Girl]

No but isn't that why you put the little musical notes next to the words "Inspirational music plays"???

When I was in high school our school band played in a Christmas parade at the California School for the Deaf. How fucked up is that?

 

[Dr Dave]

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense...

Who's idea was that?

 

[Tisiphone]

Satan's.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Maybe they enjoyed watching the pained expressions on the trombonists face?

 

[Tisiphone]

Wishing the could blow like that.
