Death Note's 2nd opening

I thought this was a refreshing step away from the usual J-pop clishés.

Now, I know what you're thinking, "A metal version of this song!?" It actually has a nice mix.

When I first heard "What's Up People?!", I thought it was really stupid. It just seemed way too over the top (because Death Note is never over the top ), and I don't listen to that type of music at all. I kept skipping over it each episode, but then I felt like watching it again because it was so bizarre....and I watched it again and again and soon just got hooked on it. Now I love that freakin' song

Though the whole debate over whether they're saying "sucker" and "fucker" on the TV version has died down, there's one point that no one seems to have grasped. Yes, those words don't appear in the lyrics until the very end. However, the short version of "What's Up People?!" is the first part of the song and the end part of the song tacked together with the middle removed. The first two times the chorus is played in the full version, where "sanka" and "fuanka" are in the lyrics, have a different instrumental part than the third chorus, where "sucker" and "fucker" appear, and they are clearly using the third chorus. So technically, yes, they ARE airing "fucker" each time they play the song on TV, because that's the part of the song that's being used (personally, it sounds like "fucker" every time....even in the earlier chorus parts, there's an 'r' sound at the end of the word).

Most people seem to think they're saying the "f-word" in that song, but I hear they're actually saying something that just sounds like the "f-word." Is this true?

Personally, I cannot stand death metal. It's the worst genre of music to date.

While I'm no fan of death metal either, I'd say hip-hop is worse, in my humble opinion.

As a big fan of good hip hop, I wonder what music you have heard you think is "hip hop." I hope you aren't referring to the garbage dominating the radio because there really is a great deal of good, thoughtful hip hop still out there.

To be more specific, it's the garbage that's dominating the radio and music channels like Fuse and MTV (assuming those channels play music anymore). I don't mean to judge all "hip-hop" based on that stuff like it may sound.

Where's all the metal hate coming from? It might not be my favorite genre either (I listen mostly to rock for your information), but their is plenty of extremely talented band of death around and even if you dislike the the vocals and instrumentals you cannot deny that you have to be talented to sing (otherwise they wouldn't be able to sing ever again after a year) and play like they do. Back on topic I don't particularly love Death Note's second opening (oh, it's not that bad, it's just not very good either), but I certainly like it a whole lot better than the first which was, in my opinion, pretty bad. And I do agree with NocturnalUX on how it fits with the series evolution.

My first reaction to "What's Up People?" was somewhere along the lines of "OMGWTFBQQ". I much prefered the first opening (most likely because I'm a Nightmare fan), but after a while the second opening grew on me and I began to actually like it. The more insane Death Note (and Light) became, the more the opening seemed to fit.

I nearly died when I first heard that song about a year ago. It's just so random.
