Schnaps, das war sein letztes Wort
Dann trugen ihn die Englein fort
Schnaps, das war sein letztes Wort
Dann trugen ihn die Englein fort
Und so kam er in den Himmel
Und man hat ihm nichts serviert
Gegen diese Art Behandlung hat der Lümmel protestiert
Schnaps, das war sein letztes Wort
Dann trugen ihn die Englein fort
Schnaps, das war sein letztes Wort
Dann trugen ihn die Englein fort
Und so kam er in die Hölle
Und sein Durst der warst zur Qual
Aber ausser heissem Schwefel gab es nichts in dem Lokal
Schnaps, das war sein letztes Wort
Dann trugen ihn die Englein fort
Schnaps, das war sein letztes Wort
Dann trugen ihn die Englein fort
Und so irrt er durch das Weltall
Voller Tränen im Gesicht
Denn da wimmelt's von Raketen, aber Kneipen gibt es nicht
Schnaps, das war sein letztes Wort
Dann trugen ihn die Englein fort
Schnaps, das war sein letztes Wort
Dann trugen ihn die Englein fort
Schnaps, das war sein letztes Wort
Dann trugen ihn die Englein fort
KURZE PAUSE____________________________________
Es gibt kein Bier auf Hawaii, es gibt kein Bier,
drum fahr ich nicht nach Hawaii, drum bleib ich hier.
Es ist so heiß auf Hawai, kein kühler Fleck,
und nur vom Hula-Hula geht der Durst nicht weg.
Meine Braut, die heißt Marianne,
wir sind seit 12 Jahren verlobt,
sie hätt'mich so gern zum Manne,
und hat schon mit Klage gedroht.
Die Hochzeit wär längst schon gewesen,
wenn die Hochzeitsreise nicht wär,
denn sie will nach Hawaii,
ja, sie will nach Hawai,
und das fällt mir so unsagbar schwer.
Es gibt kein Bier auf Hawaii, es gibt kein Bier,
drum fahr ich nicht nach Hawaii, drum bleib ich hier.
Es ist so heiß auf Hawai, kein kühler Fleck,
und nur vom Hula-Hula geht der Durst nicht weg.
Wenn sie mit nach Pilsen führe,
ja, dann wären wir längst schon ein Paar,
doch all meine Bitten und Schwüre
verschmähte sie Jahr um Jahr.
Sie singt Tag und Nacht neue Lieder,
von den Palmen am blauen Meer,
denn sie will nach Hawaii,
ja, sie will nach Hawaii,
und das fällt mir so unsagbar schwer.
Es gibt kein Bier auf Hawaii, es gibt kein Bier,
drum fahr ich nicht nach Hawaii, drum bleib ich hier.
Es ist so heiß auf Hawai, kein kühler Fleck,
und nur vom Hula-Hula geht der Durst nicht weg

Speaking respectfully and without obscenity (I'm trying so hard to be good!!! [:D] Though it is so difficult ... [:'(]
but as Herbert Lom in the later Pink Panthers put it as he smiled within the asylum and his eye began to twitch - "every day, in every way, I'm getting better") ---
concerning The Sixth Sense, the music score was excellent, but I am beginning to wonder if director Shyamalan is a One-Hit Wonder. That film was an excellent ghost story that had a very positive effect upon current cinema in general (witness all the subtle ghost stories that appeared after it), but his other films all seem to be somewhat lacking, and his reliance upon "twists" is getting to be desperate. I personally found "The Village" to be incredibly disappointing. It started out creating an alternate universe that was fascinating, and then simply played a shallow trick upon the audience. Very dishonest storytelling.

This is part of the problem with being a filmmaker/composer as opposed to just composer... (though that also is a great thing to be as old Ludwig von B. proved) Half of what you say about the one will be ignored by the others. Or something like that...
You are not supposed to be such a combo - like a Lovecraftian beast - as only Mathis and Herb here know personally - as far as I have discovered... John Carpenter is another. Charlie Chaplin (with apologies to David Raksin as Dave C pointed out) is another. Ha-ha! Good company. I feel better already.

I fully agree.
I don't get your other post.

I am aware that this thread has gone into another direction since I was first wondering about the Sixth Sense, but indeed Mathis has pointed my in the right direction with Penderecki.
I have now revisitied a few of his scores (certainly not available in any local library though) and surpisingly I could find almost all my favourite (atonal) passages from 6th Sense again in the 60s Penderecki scores. (Sometimes they are worryingly similar). Of course the tonal part of that score (as William descibed) has a great sound too, but is also easier to analyze by ear.
Whether they are New Music clichés or not I wouldn't really now but in terms of film music there are certainly other cliches that are far more overused.

Well, as I said, these are chlichées. Could well be that Penderecki once had invented some of these sounds, but they're all over the place in New Music.
Using that is not any more of a rip-off than using shifting minor chords.
Die-Hard New Music people would strongly disagree, of course.

As my fellow warrior, 'William the Discerning', takes a brief rest, laying his axe and sword down for a respite, i shall take up my trusty halberk in his place, and say that The village was one of the most lame,uninsipring, stuttering, and awful movies i've ever seen. An interesting concept bereft of any ability to affect anyone. (IMHO) The twist, as my erstwhile colleague, friend, and advocate of death to mediocrity put it, was almost completely destroyed by poor imagery and dreadful directorial fumbling. What a pile of rubbish that was. They would have done better to put a pile of Amish types in sunflower frocks and raise questions about the sexual and social ambiguity of driving a horse and cart in drag down the busy I98 truck route. 'The Village'? They should have called it 'The Garage'.
The sixth sense was passable, and although it had several places where scenes clunked from one moment to another, at least there was some sort of plot hidden in a potentially fruitful concept. The music was good, and 'saved' the film in several places, papering over the visual cracks in the imagery that appeared from time to time.
And William's veiled and intelligent prod in the direction of Horner, with his dubious aspirations of originality, certainly strike a chord here too........
