小屁孩日记 · 17 Diper Overlode

6

Wednesday The guys were disappointed that they didn't get to make a music video they could use, but they realized that they still had a song, and there was a lot they could do with that They figured if they could get a radio station to play "Diper Överlöde," then that would be even BETTER than posting a music video online. So they took their song to a bunch of local radio stations. GLAM 102 TODAY'S POP HITS But most of the places they visited said it wasn't a "good fit" for their listeners.

周三 大伙因为没能做出能用的MV,都失望极了。但他们回过神发现,好歹还有一首成品歌,有歌就能做不少事。他们盘算着,如果能让电台播放《Diper Överlöde》,那可比往网上发MV还要棒得多 于是他们带着这首歌跑了好多家当地电台 魅力102 今日流行金曲 可他们去过的绝大多数电台都表示,这首歌不适合自己的听众

They probably should've done a better job researching some of the stations they visited, though, because it would've saved them a lot of time driving around. THE WAY SPIRITUAL TALK RADIO Rodrick said the problem wasn't that their song was bad, it was that the people who choose what to put on the radio have terrible taste in music. So he decided that if they wanted to get their music heard, they were just gonna have to get CREATIVE.

不过他们其实早该提前调研这些电台,这样也能省下绕路白费的时间 “灵性对话广播” 罗德里克说,问题根本不是他们的歌不好听,是电台选歌的人口味太差了 所以他决定,想要让别人听到他们的歌,就得玩出点创意

Rodrick said there are a LOT of places that play songs besides radio stations, so they made a list of everywhere they've ever heard music in public. Gas station Sports arend Grocery store Mall Elevator Fast-food restaurant Electronics Store Dentist's office The guys spent a few days working the phones, trying to track down the people who make the decisions on these kinds of things. But they just hit a bunch of dead ends, so they drove around town to try and find the right people to talk to.

罗德里克说,除了电台还有好多地方会放歌,于是他们列了张清单,记下所有会放歌的公共场合 加油站、体育场、杂货店、商场、电梯、快餐店、电器店、牙医诊所 大伙花了好几天打电话,想要联系上这些地方管选歌的负责人 可他们到处碰钉子,只好开车在城里绕圈,想亲自找到对接的人谈谈

But that didn't get them anywhere, either. ELEVATOR REPAIR After that, they started talking to people they actually KNEW. But nobody was willing to play their song.

可这也照样没带来任何进展 电梯维修员 在这之后,他们开始找自己认识的人帮忙 但没人愿意播放他们的歌

Then they had a break through. Drew's older brother worked at the deli counter at the grocery store, and he had access to the sound system in the back office. So the guys finally got to hear their music in public for the first time. YES IT'S A DIPER A DIPER ÖVERLÖDE AND YOU AIN'T BEEN THIS COVERED SINCE THE LAST TIME IT SNOWED But the song only played for about thirty seconds before the deli manager shut it off.

接着他们终于迎来了转机 德鲁的哥哥在杂货店的熟食柜台上班,能使用后台办公室的音响系统 于是这帮家伙终于第一次在公共场合听到了自己的歌 没错!就是Diper!Diper Överlöde! 自从上次下雪之后,你从来没脏成这样过! 可这首歌只放了三十秒左右,就被熟食店经理关掉了

And I guess he wasn't a fan of that kind of music, because he fired Drew's brother before his shift was even over. The guys were pretty frustrated they couldn't get anyone to play their song, but then Bill said maybe they needed to take a different approach. He said TV commercials usually have music in them, and maybe they could convince some company to use Löded Diper's music for one of their ads. FRESH SCOOPS Kitty Litter CAN YOU SMELL US NOW?

经理本来就不喜欢这种音乐,结果德鲁的哥哥轮班都没结束就被炒了鱿鱼 大伙一直没法让人播放他们的歌,都特别沮丧,这时比尔说,或许他们得换个思路 他说电视广告里一般都会配音乐,说不定他们能说服哪家公司,在广告里用上Löded Diper的歌 “新鲜猫砂 你闻到我们了吗?”
