The song that stopped LittleBigPlanet

[iFlushed]

2:29 = "I Mama Joe"

[Kriskazam]

The song is very emotional and can be opened to many deep interpretations, just think of those lyrics, absorb the music in, and just roam through the land of Little Big Planet. Sackboy is in this never ending exploration, and everytime he explores he always tastes death at least once, we don't know when he's going to stop but eventually, the Earth will perish, leading to his exploring ends.

Lol idk what I just said haha

[estevansolis]

is true this song is still in the game but only instrumental wihout anyone singing i know its true that everyone will die but they can't talk about that in a game thats for kids.

[TerranWTF]

@estevansolis Well this song would still have been in the game with the lyrics if it weren't for copyright.

[estevansolis]

@TerranWTF oh and that too stupid copyright people deleting there most famous videos for copyright music.

[catbuffalo]

I guess people are offended by religion when on the rare occasion it tells the truth.

[nfs3211]

u are dancing there at 5:40

[williamheltor1]

can someone explain why this would offend anyone? 

[APAR1CIO]

@williamheltor1 read the desription

[williamheltor1]

@APAR1CIO i did, im curious why talking about death in a videogame is controversial

[APAR1CIO]

@williamheltor1 its a kid game!!!

[williamheltor1]

@APAR1CIO Haha very true

[catbuffalo]

@APAR1CIO

Would you say it's not ok for a kid to play call of duty then?

[AaronSOLDIER]

TBH they shouldve just removed those two lines, or at least kept the "eyo gee yo" bit because it makes the track so much better.

[SlapstickCoyote]

Why didn't they remove that annoying one that says "If you want step on my brunch i'll bring you down, I'll bring you down" in a never ending cycle

[Mario1370]

@SlapstickCoyote well that one isnt inappropriate

[MrPoopyPants18]

@SlapstickCoyote it says my patch you idiot. That is the best song anyway

[SlapstickCoyote]

@MrPoopyPants18 you must be one of those fart faced horse lipped cow ass that puts that song on their level just to annoy the hell out of everyone else, and then you go home to your mommy and cry because everyone gives you one star. Well i got news for you,your getting more maturer so its time for you to switch to big boy training panties.

[Deraekan]

The song's actually pretty nice.

[plbirdie767]

ssbbwii

[MegaTraCkz]

DUDE! WTF HOW CAN THEY SAY THAT IN A KIDS GAME?????

[AmaterasuOkami1]

well i still like the song

[Esteban7214]

Sony is in arab Call on a phone.

[MayerEO]

Aw man. It was one of my most favorite songs off the game, too! Now it's weird thinking about the context behind it

[rjakobi]

I don't care about the controversy. All I care about is how cute the sackboy is while listening to this song.

Aww...cute widdle sackperson.

[AaronSOLDIER]

Well, its true, everyone WILL die and eventually the earth WILL perish.

Good song IMO.

[nunosoar]

@AaronSOLDIER EXACTLY! You're right sir!

[crashbasher09]

funny. i liked the updated version of this!

[Farlavor2]

Good move. I am not so religious, but I think MM made a wise decission on removing the lyrics... that would offence the arabians... :P

[FirstStrikeAwesome]

i really prefer that song without lyrics

[HubSwitch]

@FirstStrikeAwesome

Yeah, those are called Tunes!

0.o

[FirstStrikeAwesome]

@HubSwitch ?

[HubSwitch]

@FirstStrikeAwesome

Are you being serious????!!!!!!!!

A song without lyrics is called a TUNE (because its played)... the fooking irony in your comment was UN-BeLiEvEabLE!!

A tune with lyrics is called a SONG (Because it's sung).

0.0

[FirstStrikeAwesome]

@HubSwitch you all right, dud?

[peteylalor]

Controversial lyrics aside, this is a fantastic song. I forgot how much I love the LBP soundtrack.

[MrGlitchman96]

oh god... it sounds ok untill you read the lyrics. good god

[theAwsomeAwsome666]

good song anyway

[DMeaderL4d]

beutiful song i hate ppl who take things the rong way then wen some1 tells them the truth there like nope fuk u

[antso101]

@DMeaderL4d god your grammar is horrific

[DMeaderL4d]

@antso101 thank u so much

[FarhanC99]

im a muslim, and seriously some muslims need to calm down

whats wrong with quoting the quraan?

last time i checked the arabic language wasnt copyrighted in anyway by any person

2:05 i love how sack boy is dancing to the quote, its almost like hes mocking them

[JohnnyBGoode1122]

Um...the lyrics are talking about death...not killing people. Just moreidicoy on Youtube.

[sewarforlife]

hes so cute.

[Me2Be87]

Thank you for respecting our feelings

[spongebobksa55]

its from holly qu'ran . for musliams . so its hurt us to have a song with holly qu'ran

and thanks to sony to delete the lyrics

[luigifan07]

It's beautiful...but not the lyrics

[luckycharms8282]

Beautiful song. Its a shame sony was too afraid to offend people and took out the words.

[dothack2]

lets put it in a shoe where people believes in supernatural stuff. What if those lyrics was mantras and then if all lbp was released globally, almost 2/3 of playstaion players died. idk how to explain it. yup, n0ski11s is also right.

[TheDhezballah]

Just Mulsims being crying bitches as always.

[dothack2]

@TheDhezballah I thought sony was the one who detected it? So sony is a muslim? no im not starting an arguement.

[TheDhezballah]

@dothack2 I don't know I was just saying how Muslims are always so crazy about their shit. I mean a Muslim stabbed a guy just cause he draw Muhammad.

[dothack2]

@TheDhezballah but isnt it human to do that? If someone makes a joke about my dad till the whole school knows about that shit , I would definitely beat his ass senselessly till he would be sent to a hospital. I mean everyone is pretty much the same.

[hotshot32ful]

????



[DjRevTech]

It just sounds better without the lyrics, but hell I

[BigMrFirebird]

Even though this tune sounds like a rip-off from Rocky, it's a superb game.

[CherryFlavour86]

i think what makes it controversial is the words are taken from Quran (muslims holly book) ...actually not all muslims are alike they have so many doctrines... like Soufies who worship God by singing and dancing in circles...

[nafchod]

I'm an atheist who used to be Muslim, and simply put, putting the words of their Holy Book in a song is against the rules. Islam has a lot of rules and a lot of seemingly harmless things are simply not allowed.

[Shicks0]

When playing the game, I enjoyed it without the lyrics... More calming ^,^

[MrFoSizzle]

i dont really care what there sayin i dig it

:D

[fernandezmeriam]

i like the song without the african voice

[chaochaogrlgrl220]

Holy Hell, what are the Top Comments talking about?! English, please!

[theklkerds]

They've now taken the vocals off and it's now just the music which I like much better =D

[shootitup21]

those fucking wogs stopped this game coming out on my birthday, get over it ragheads.

[greeneyes787]

The vocals ruin it!

[coolisaac101]

god said that everything must perish rich or poor free or slave no one can avoid death it is part of life. the lbp version is just for enjoyment of the player but eventually we will all taste death . For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. john 3:16

[warcraftfreeky]

i just want to know why do they have a non arab singing?

[Mrfanofsonic]

lol those lyrics represented 2012! I'm so going to listen to this song next year!

[GNRlova23]

As much as the lyrics are true no matter what you beleive. You all have to remember that this game is rated everyone, including very young children. And young children dont need to be told that they're gonna die one day, espescially not in the cutest game ever.

[Mrfanofsonic]

@GNRlova23 And yet they were for a while.

[superackbar]

It's not... the words themselves.... it's that... it's from the Qu'ran and .... the understanding from it involving actively killing people.

We have soldiers from America ... fighting terrorists in countries following this believe... THAT'S why it's controversial.

Please pull your philosophical heads from your philosophical asses. Big words don't make you intelligent, OR correct.

-----

That being said.... Regardless of what the lyrics say... really like the rhythm of this song <3

[Samyra244]

@superackbar

how on earth did you get the 'understanding from it involves killing people'?

[Thejampacker]

@superackbar Everything requires a context, this song is about mourning. That is how these words are used here, to express loss, they may be used for killing people but is not in this piece. I think the motive of this song this song extends beyond how some people may interpret it's meaning in a different context.

[kingsaf90]

imagine being an arab kid who hears "every soul shall have the taste of death, and all that is on earth will perish" in a game that you just bought...how fucking scary would that be!

[MrsPan19]

@kingsaf90 It's not scary at all actually! :D We're brought up not to fear death, but to embrace it as the next step to a more wonderful life, only in the time that Allah has specified for us because suicide is illegal. We're taught how natural and normal death is all the time, so that we train ourselves never to be despaired when our loved ones die, or if we face death.

[Mrfanofsonic]

@MrsPan19 lol and yet millions of people commit it! What good would it do to make it illigal? Its not like they could put any charges to it. Its like saying: "Oh, if you commit suicide, we'll kill you!" See what I mean?

[MrsPan19]

@Mrfanofsonic By illegal I don't mean that we will be punished for it on earth, it's in your afterlife that you would be punished. A lot of Muslims confuse the laws of this life and the afterlife. They take it upon themselves to judge and punish people when it isn't their job.

[Mrfanofsonic]

@MrsPan19 I know, it just sounded funny. And yeah, your right about the muslim thing.

[HubSwitch]

@kingsaf90

You can run but you cant hide....

[jokertubex]

i love the instrumental , can anybody give me a link to download the instrumental ?

[izaiahisback]

The removal of this song is something i find racist.

[illhorse]

lbp2 on ps3 is the best game ever :)

[TheSheandhercat]

I just LOVE this game. I can't play it now, just on PSP. But it's reaaaally not the same.. I'm missing my old LittleBigPlanet :C

[ssdwellah]

Reminds me of the original fire temple music in Zelda Ocarina of Time. Why is there subliminal Islamic messaging in games?

[MarioIsKing555]

this song sucks dang F*** this song

[Aflay1]

@MarioIsKing555 It's beautiful what chu talkin bout? Go back to metallica or tupac you music hitler.

[MetroidPeter]

Holy... Crap...! Did they know this song had those lyrics?!?! If they didn't then okay, but if they did, then WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?????

[johnnyXsniper]

@MetroidPeter no. whats more stupid is they come out of a religions book, and that very religion was too stupid to accept their own religions writings. theres a great richard dawkins debate on it

[arusark]

People, really.....people really find this controversial? Are you kidding me? What time am I living in here? This is the kinda crap that happens when the earth is ruled by a dictator and everyones in fear.

Just wait and see. First the fallout. Second the rise of an empire. Third a rebellion. Finally, all the bad guys die and we restart the process -_-

[TheTastyPineapple]

fucking muslims man...first 9/11 now this!

this is why we cant have nice things!!!

[RoasterBlack]

Pretty cool song I like

[ustinklikeggs]

i cant get over this song lol

[rhohar7]

O-O



[BlockyCuzco]

O___O

. .. ... .... .....

[n0ski11s]

I fail to see how the lyrics to this song have become so controversial. These statements are absolutely true no matter where you come from and what you believe.

[FreakinSweet1987]

@n0ski11s Although you are correct, lyrics like that don't belong in a game that's geared toward kids, no matter what the language.

[Anontalkwarrior]

@n0ski11s

Because it's part of their holy text, that's the only reason they have and in their eyes it's sufficient.

[jodzandhat]

@n0ski11s exactly

[27mizukage]

@n0ski11s but u need to remember this is a childs game wat parent wants to look this up and sees wat that means just saying



[Whitraff]

This song sounds so great!

[amara60429]

This is the best song on the game

[TrevorE9]

Better Without Lyrics (:

[tompointzero]

This could have been an ingenious marketing trick, you never know, i wouldnt have never have known it was quranic lyrics or even heard of this game if the tabloid news didnt scaremonger it, before the internet, this stuff would have been yesterdays news, but because of the net, they have apologised, now everybody move on!

[MrJonniNixon]

Since when did the Quran get a copyrighted?

[tompointzero]

@MrJonniNixon

the quran is not copyright infact there is no copyright in quran, this is the point this guy is making money from something which should be free, listen to quranic recitations on youtube, quran only needs human voice as the melody, no instruments which make the message harder to decipher

[MrJonniNixon]

@tompointzero the guy isn't allowed to put 2 passages into this song? This song is amazing and I didn't know what the passages meant. Now I know what they mean, and I'm more worried they exist in the Quran than them being repeated in a song. I just wonder how many Christians would ask for a song to be banned from a video game because it contains lines from a Bible. Freedom of expression.

[tompointzero]

@MrJonniNixon

its not about being allowed or not, there is no body who can stop a person from doing so in islamic terms, but it is quite an insult to bring passages from the quran into a song, sure there was an over-reaction by the media but the artist himself should not have gone to such a low level, to steal lyrics from the quran and use them to make himself money. When the Quran is free for all mankind.

[grayson501]

fucking illuminati

[MrpotatoChips]

@grayson501 What does that have to do with this? or do you just use that like a swear word? Like, instead of "fucking hell" It's "fucking illuminati"? because the mention of that myth on a vid like this did my head in.

[grayson501]

@MrpotatoChips not a myth look it up

[MrpotatoChips]

@grayson501 Oh, I know what they are. I simply don't believe the way they're being portrayed.

[grayson501]

@MrpotatoChips well how do you portray them

[MrpotatoChips]

@grayson501 well, from things I've been told from other believers, they've dipped their toe into every major pool. from the entertainment industry, to the politics. I've even heard they control AOL. And that company sucks, IMO. I've heard so much stuff like that I'm surprised I haven't been told that they're the reason Burger king keeps giving me unions on my burger when I tell them not to. It feels like too much to be totally true.

[Behemoth2334]

Wow. It's not like Sony/Media Molecule knew that it had that. It just sounds cool so that's why they added it.

[tompointzero]

IN ISLAM IT IS FORBIDDEN TO MAKE MONEY FROM LYRICS OF QURAN OR EVEN ADHAN , even though they would make the best music ever, i mean if you ever listen to a proper Quran recitation, you will realise it doesnt need any instruments, just the power of the human voice is enough. The best musical instrument, and the quranic poetry is exquisite

[AJSHERE13]

@tompointzero According to Lowkey it isn't

[fudman02]

this just in: who gives a fuck

[BreakTheSkyMyseIf]

I don't see anything wrong with those lyrics....am I just ignorant?

[tompointzero]

@BreakTheSkyMyseIf

The lyrics are translated to

"Eevery should shall taste death"

[BreakTheSkyMyseIf]

@tompointzero yeah, I read that in the description. and again, I see nothing wrong with that.

[tompointzero]

@BreakTheSkyMyseIf

yeah well quran should only be read out by human voice only it is enough, in order that the message is clear and legible, quran means "recitation" in arabic, no music allowed only human voice melody.

[BreakTheSkyMyseIf]

@tompointzero Well that's what you should of told me in the first place. See? I was wondering if I was just ignorant, and I was.

[tompointzero]

@BreakTheSkyMyseIf

You know Socrates said "The most wisest of all are the people who know what they dont know not the people who know what they know" or something like that

[supersweetpopo]

what !

so good they removet

this is holy Quran who sing that :L

don't they can write thier own words :l

[CorporalNomad]

both kur an and a bible are about the same.people dont realize that jesus andmohammed ware both mention in kuran as prophets.

[KakarottoCL]

Can you PLEASE pot the rest of the lyrics??? Its so easy to isolate a phrase in a whole poem/context and criticize it... if you are so clever to translate that single phrase I bet you could post the whole text so we can understand the context?

[BriceJF]

@KakarottoCL I wondered the same thing myself since there were more lyrics than just the 'controversial' ones. Both of the aforementioned phrases can be used in a non-threatening way, such as when talking about a natural end of one's life and the fact that all things on earth die eventually. If that's the case, which I can only assume it is since game developers typically don't call for the deaths of the people that play their games, then it's very sad that this was so blown out of proportion

[whythewar1]

Whether Its justified or not to remove the lyrics and protest, the words that are said in translation, along with being muslim words is a stupid thing to do, look through it in the publics eyes, more Americans don't know the Different between a muslim and a murderer.

[Billy1RBstudios]

good thing media molecule removed the lyrics, they dont want subliminal messages on this awesome game

[wiedm1]

O_O



[MultiKonul]

whats wrong with this song?

[skysands2008]

@MultiKonul it has words from Quran it should not be..the song is nice but the words from Quran should be deleted because the words of Quran should not be in Music or songs..thats why...but big respect for sony for removing it. thank you sony.

[cocojumbo555]

I am muslim and I like the song

[dsozso]

@cocojumbo555 Me too, it's great.

[ThePopsheep]

Stating what a book says isn't generalizing. I know not all muslim people believe all the things the Quoran says, but if the Quran states something that seems inaproppriate, why should it have such a response of offense to it? When other books state things that aren't appropriate to our time, people say so, why should the Quoran be any different? especially if it has such sever punishments and states things like this. There is no need to get offended.

[StMarciano]

Hmmm I don't actually care about the lyrics it is a good song.

[StMarciano]

Reminds me of the Orcarina of Time fire temple chants.

[laiths123]

what on earth is wrong why are you talking about this just for a song it would have been better if he didnt make this video

[ZebbMassiv]

its just a song about life and death. nothing religious about it.

[thatshortkid310]

i think its better without the lyrics

[sirdajon]

i thought the song was pretty good

[sirdajon]

@sirdajon yet i dont understand the lyrics...

[Simme8000]

2.05 to 2.09 was the most fun. (beacuse he look quite fun when he was scared). Serioulsy, don't take this wrong but what is wrong with that they say something that is in the Qur'an? (sry for bad english) and btw, I'm NOT a racist.

[TheMooseofBattle]

Was this song completely removed or did they edit it?

[piccoleitor]

@TheMooseofBattle READ DESCRIPTION before asking

[daniel6497]

@TheMooseofBattle does it cost you TO READ THE DAMN DESCRIPTION?!

[Simme8000]

@daniel6497 ROFLMAO

[TheMooseofBattle]

@daniel6497 To view this reply you require a YouTube Gold membership.

[karel3112]

stop talking about the moslims and just watch the funny movie ffs.... not everything is about religion u know.......... it's just fun!!!

[HunterMarioWorld]

so this is the version WITH the words?

[0Hybris0]

apparently religions can not be united even though their messages should be similar...

and the message used in this song even speaks of truth, so it doesn't make any sense in either way to complain about the use of it

[07PACMAN1]

في الـ 2:00 يقول الايتين ..!!

وبقوه واضحه !!

[Futsureno]

I don't see any problems here. Each will face death and perish... so what? It's inevitable. And i don't think most that play this game will understand what's being said anyway, like children. Great song anyway, beautifull for listening.

[6feetdownedge]

guys chillll Muslims are just angry because they put the words of the Holy Quran along with muslical instruments. that isnt the way to listen to the Quran. Chillll bros Islam doesnt profess hate. Islam = Submission through Peace.

[DrakeMonk]

@6feetdownedge

I remember how they submited to the mohhamed cartoons.

[6feetdownedge]

@DrakeMonk first of all, you spelled Muhammad wrong. second of all. that isn't submission.

[mindzstyle]

@DrakeMonk when south park made Super Best Friends episode, nobody was angry there were no death threats strikes or news stories or anything, its just muslims are fed up the media keeps harassing ALL muslims not just terrorist but they over generalize you can't offend a billion people just because 0.1 % are extremist

do all christians have the same ideology like fred phelps and his retaded family ?

do all priest smell like little boys buttholes ?

the answer is no

[RAVEN117108]

How are those lyrics insulting in any way?

thats like being offended at every song that ever references the fact that people die...

[ForeverWhoever]

that little brown dude is insane. how good is this game? im thinking about getting it for the psp

[resserection1]

@ForeverWhoever Absolutely amazing.Get it for your welcome Back Package

[YoUpWhat]

@ForeverWhoever

If you still haven't got it yet, get lbp 2 for the ps3.

[TheFlashFrame]

@ForeverWhoever if you have a ps3, get it for that instead, i have it for both systems and there is simply more stuff on the ps3, so you have more room to be creative

[YTesko1r2d229]

@ForeverWhoever 5 star/ 10 out of 10 awsomeness

[pecoc1]

@ForeverWhoever very VERY VEEEERY good!

[TheRealSpellstar]

the best game ever

[LookHeadcrabs]

@TheRealSpellstar

Dead Space 2 is da best ;)

[TheRealSpellstar]

@LookHeadcrabs

ufail

[SuperChewTwo]

They had to take out the lyrics because people disagree with them and it's in the Qur'an? Lame.

[Raro404]

Fucking sand nigger scum.

[MrCreatorKid]

@Raro404 -_-

[305bryan1209]

nouthing is wrong with it people!
