[edit] Single Tracklisting

Somebody needs to put up the info on the other releases of the Twisted Transistor single, as only two tracklistings appear here, and neither of them are the tracklisting for the third version of the single which has the following tracks: Twisted Transistor (radio version, and josh harrit radio edit) & Appears. I'd add the info myself, but i don't know what country the single comes from.69.214.139.81 23:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics

Surely posting the lyrics to the song in entirety raises some copyright issues...? 68.13.248.151 02:23, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible meaning

Does anybody agree with this interpretation of the lyrics?

-Nope: The lyrics obviously state that Korn wants women to enter an orgasmic state due to the music that Korn creates. Transistor=Speaker, Radio, source of Sound. They literally want the women to use their music as a sexual tool. The song is not about a vibrator.

  • I think the song is in general about the healing power of music, and how it can help people who feel lonely and misunderstood. --Max 07:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
no the first guy was right. see howard stern's private parts movie. Korn wants women to straddle speakers and turn up the bass. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.214.139.81 (talk) 22:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Subliminal Messaging

The speculation that subliminal messages are never present in korn music is completely false. In Shoots and Ladders you can hear "This is Madness" repeatedly through the chorus when you play it backwards. At the end of "Open Up", if you slow it down and play it backwards it says "Let satan put his hands down your pants".

Agree with you. This album has various things related to Head. The bear in the cover, and some lines in the lyrics. Some people also think that "Hypocrites" was written for him. With sumblinal in the past, even "Blind" is supposed to have one. The "ARE YOU READYYY?" when played bacwards produces "AHHHH, WE RULE". Please note that this words are the first spoken in the first album, so it is probably just a coincidence. Returning to SYOTOS, I think it has lots of subliminals... maybe them do not represent Korn or Jonathan Davis opinion, but certainly are all destinated to Head. (Sorry for bad English)

Most "Subliminal messages" found in songs are BS. i listened to that clip... i can kinda hear "foolishness foolishness" but that's it, and that wasn't backmasked and hidden, it's just that some words sound like others when said backwards.

"It is worth noting that, given a randomly generated series of syllables spoken in a variety of accents, a two-syllable pair that can be liberally interpreted as "Satan" is very easy to generate. Therefore, any individual with a small amount of creative interpretation skills could play virtually any song with vocals backwards and uncover "Satanic messages"." - taken from Wikipedia's backmasking article

Anybody who believes in that backmasking stuff is a moron. I mean, in documented cases where the band admitted to backmasking, or where it's obvious that it's been used, that's one thing. But anyone can play a song backwards and mistakenly think that they hear "hidden messages". Then they ask people online if they hear it, of course once you've had something like that suggested to you, your brain is going to try and look for whatever was suggested. and in response to the above comment, how would backamsked messages end up on the album if KoRn didn't put them there? You said that maybe the message don't represent KoRn or Jon Davis... well then how did they get on the album, if they are there?69.214.139.81 23:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fame of the song?

The paragraph describing how well-known "Twisted Transistor" is sounds terribly awkward an confused. Can someone fix this? I don't know enough about this band or their music to fix it myself. 24.144.151.182 23:30, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
