I just labeled 1000 songs with the Artist Milli Vanilli
I'm so not kidding.

I have over 2000 songs uploaded on my Sonic Stage like a jukebox. Got a nice pair of speakers and I can enjoy the music.

But I'm kinda anal retentive with labeling and if I don't have the right name or album listed I look it up and put it in myself.

So yes, I do happen to have 2 Milli Vanilli songs in the collection and the name was mispelled and I wanted to update the album.

Somehow all of my songs were highlighted and when I couldn't figure out what was taking so long I did a CTRL-ALT-DEL on the Sonic Stage. Here I must have had all my songs highlighted and the changes were being made for EVERYTHING (well now 1000 songs).

So you name it - in my music collection Milli Vanilli sings it

I've got a fricking nightmare on my hands trying to undo all of this

:cry:

3. Everything is affected - Led Zeppelin, Green Day, Marilyn Manson....
....all listed as artist Milli Vanilli and album "Girl You Know it's True"

Right now I'm removing everything but the name of the song. With all the Lyric sites it's easy to figure out what group it is with a google search of the song name

5. Frank Farian would be soooo proud!
I was just kidding above. ;) But Milli Vanilli - that just does lead to disaster ...

8. Oh! Which one?
The one who doesn't sing or the other one who doesn't sing?

I'm sorry ... Milli Vanilli/Frank Farian, that's just such a joke here. Frank Farian produced them, then it came out all was dubbed, and it was quite a scandal. Frank Farian still tries to get a hit on every European Song Contest. He's merely a joke now.

I really hope you can free all your songs from being labeled as Milli Vanilli. :hug:

9. They all now have no information other than song name
I'd rather see it blank than to see every single song come up as "Don't Fear the Reaper"/Milli Vanilli

And as for the offending 2 songs that were actually attributed to the group - DELETED!!!!!

18. The living one or the dead one?
Fabien, as I recall, couldn't live with the guilt and killed himself in the late-90s.

:cry:

A terrible shame...

4. Oh I am sorry I know this is horrible but I can't stop laughing
it sounds exactly like something that would happen to me. I guess that means there is no edit-undo on it. It really isn't funny I know but 2000 Milli Vanilli?. I'm sorry:hug:

6. Sure, laugh it up
I spent 2 months uploading all of my songs, sorting them, classifying them and converting them to Altrac3 (saves space) and now I fricking do this. It'll take another 3 months to figure out all the songs on there and what I did wrong.

Right now I'm zapping out the artist/genre/album for all of the songs. I really don't want to see that much fricking Milli Vanilli on my song list. I usually have my SonicStage on Shuffle and up pops "Jesus of Suburbia" by Milli Vanilli. I about puked seeing that!

10. Oh man I really am sorry
Edited on Sun Dec-11-05 07:26 PM by OhioBlues
I am not laughing at the pain you are having to endure. Really I am sorry about all that Milli Vanilli. The fact that they pretended to sing while others were really doing the singing, I mean they're up to their old tricks 1000 times. The posers!

11. Update about the Milli Vanilli Crisis
It was about 400 songs actually affected and from what it seems it only affected all groups starting with the letters A-E. I was about to wipe out a bunch of stuff figuring it would be easier to uploaded all the LZ/Queen/Green Day(The only groups I have all songs uploaded) but it seems none of them were affected. But all my Audioslave was :cry:

Right now I'm listening to "My Sacrifice" by Milli Vanilli. Kind of an irony that the biggest asshole band is labeled after the biggest scam artist band (but hey, I actually do like a few Creed songs - so sue me!)

14. Blame it on the rain, it was falling falling...
Blame it on the stars that shine at night.
Whatever you do, don't put the blame on you;
blame it on the rain, yeah, yeah.
You can blame it on the rain.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

17. LOL! I think the idea of seeing
"Stairway to Heaven" - "Milli Vanilli" is scarier.

21. It was only bands that start with the letters "A-E"
Nothing like seeing "Welcome to my Nightmare" by Milli Vanilli or "Ziggy Stardust" by Milli Vanilli

I have a ton of Beatles & Clash in my collection but fortunately they both are in the "T" section because I have fixed the order so it doesn't sort by the word "THE" or we could have had "The Day in the Life" by Milli Vanilli or "London Calling" by Milli Vanilli

20. Just go ahead- relabel all of them "Frank Farian"
Chances are, that it would be correct for far more than just the two Milli Vanilli songs.

22. Milli Vanilli!! Girl, you know it's true!
Years ago I had a poem published in Entertainment Weekly about Milli Vanilli. Pacino was on the cover. I have a copy stuffed away somewhere.


Maybe it's me, but I think it's silly
to make such a fuss over Milli Vanilli



(yada yada yada
punchline
the end)

I'm not sure I could remember it unless someone was waterboarding me.
