JAWS LIKE SWIMMING- A synch by Jaydingo

Thats cool. Too bad, but I bet it wont elude you long. I love that film.

Maybe I could use "with teeth" to put an end to my search trying to find a synch for The Howling? I'd hate to use 80's hair band Dokken's album "Tooth & Nail"....e-gad!! Maybe it would go with another dark favorite of mine, The Hunger?

Dont forget Deep Blue Sea, Great White(the movie), A Sharks Tail, & Open Water. Jaws The Revenge...that one was brutal! My friend Matt actually stood up in the theater & yelled "Sharks dont have vocal chords morons!" Good times.

Awesome LR...run with it! It would be cool to see what you can add to the film. I would definitely welcome the synch on dvd...seriously! Thanks for checking JLS out & I'm glad you dig it! Talk soon.

I agree! This is one very entertaining watch, J... Fantastic. I have synched this one and burned it to DVD now, which I will send you soon.
I also had a thought for a sequel or answer synch utilizing nine inch nails "with teeth" CD.

don't shoot-i am a man

i have watched this a few times and i must say it seems almost as if they are made for one another. one of my favorites.

I dont know about educating anyone but that was a fun night. I'm sending you a pm! Good to see you here.

Thanks alot for checking out "JLS" Karl. Coming from you those words are a huge compliment. I haven't run into too many people that dont like or at least appreciate Morphines music. For a band consisting of sax, drums, & a two string slide bass guitar the moods they evoke are simply perplexing. I'm still working on my "Cure for Planes, Trains, & Automobiles" synch using the hilarious film "Planes, Trains, & Automobiles" & Morphines "Cure for Pain" cd. We'll see....

I had the pleasure of experiencing Jaydingo's idea amalgamating Morphine's "Like Swimming" with the 1975 movie "Jaws" and was thrilled by the combination. I had not seen this movie since it first came out in the theaters and was hesitant to see this blood bath again. But the rewards were many. The mood and the lyrics match for much of the 1st play and the repeat is pretty decent too. Some of the lyrics don't make sense and some good transitions are missed. I give the 1st play of Jaydingo's "Jaws Like Swimming" an "A".

On a side note, the music is relaxed and catchy (and hypnotic). I couldn't stop singing some of the songs in my head. My wife actually stayed in the room for this synch because she thought the music was decent. AND my first listen to the music was in simultaneity with the movie "Jaws". Very impressive!

"Yeah, but we could radio in and get a bigger boat out here...."

Says the Police Chief to Quint in "Jaws"

I had actually posted about that synch a few months ago. I have turned alot of folks onto it & had a showing at a friends place recently & it went off great! As far as not accepting emails...thats new to me. Jaydingo is very accessable! Let me know if you have further problems emailing me. Peas.

this quickly became the 'featured synch'. congrats jay! I still haven't located my morphine cd, so I haven't been able to see this one. I would have contacted you directly, as usual, but you no longer seem to be accepting emails. talk to you later...

don't shoot-i am a man

Approx. running time = 35min. 14 sec. (1st play through & length of Morphine's cd "Like Swimming".

EARLY TO BED:
"Early to bed, early to rise"- as Brody leaves the house for work

"One drink, call it an early night"- Brody walks & talks with the man who passed out drunk on the beach

-Creepy sax music plays as Chrissie Watkins crab covered remains are found.-

WISHING WELL:
"I move smooth underwater" & "Everybody knows me, I grew up in this town"- both refering to old man Harry who Brody encounters on the street.

-drum beat goes with young street musicians.-

LIKE SWIMMING:
"First I learn to crawl, then some other strokes"- as Alex Kintner asks his mother to go back into the water.

"All the way downtown"- throwing term....a man throws a stick into the water.

"For air you lift your head"- dog paddles with his head above water.

"Kick your arms & legs"- Alex Kintner kicking on his raft.

"Do you feel like swimming"- as the shark approaches the raft to claim his 2nd victim.

MURDER FOR THE MONEY:
-starts when you see Mrs. Kintner again-

"Murder for the money"- the $3000 bounty for the shark is posted.

-this scene also introduces Capt. Quint who indeed murders sharks...for the money-

FRENCH FRIES WITH PEPPER:
-ok....this is a tough synch comparison...but-

-tempo goes with the scene-
-Quint is eating & tells the town merchants they could starve in the winter season-

"I was little"- brody studys a photo of a small fish in distress.

EMPTY BOX:
"Tore open a package"- picture of a shark tearing open the side of a boat.

"Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight"- two husky shark hunters fish for the shark by the light of the moon.

"I swam out as far as I could swim"- the shark takes the bait & swims out.

"An empty box came floating by"- LITERALLY!

ELEVEN O'CLOCK:
-being that the only lyrics to this song are "every night about eleven o'clock....I was worried about this song & scene until I noticed that the distorted sax sounded great as the boat motors of the chumming fishermen!-

HANGING ON A CURTAIN:
"Hanging on a curtain"- Brody sits in front of a window.

"You like to hear me talk"- as Matt Hooper records his inspection of the 1st victims body.

"Little red feet with big blue toes"- the (blue) tiger shark is caught with (red) blood coming from its mouth.

"pointy little teeth/dont bite please!"- as Hooper checks the bite radius of the tiger shark.

"Swinging like a clock"- again, as the dead shark dangles.

SWING IT LOW: -my favorite scene & last of the 1st play through-

"Buttons bursting in the air"- a proud Mayor Vaughn & Brody celebrate the capture of the shark.

"I'm all swing, swing from a shoestring"- the tiger hangs while photos are taken.

"You have my loyalties"- Mayor Vaughn points to Brody who he fires in Jaws II.

"I need to walk you down the street"- Mrs. Kintner is escorted down the street to confront Chief Brody.

"In case the wind blows off your hat"- exact moment Mrs. Kintner removes her hat & slaps Brody".

-I also thought it was fitting that this song "Swing it low" synched well due to the fact that she just came from her sons funeral....swing low sweet cheriot!-

-end of 1st play through- :)
