	ok well this song... you know it has meaning. you cant hear it in cedrics voice. but im with glumble..i dont know about the whole ben and julio thingy there..let an atdi fan in on it!! oh yeah atdi rules...and speaking of which is better-t.m.v.or sparta.. there both equally good cause they both orginated from a great wonderful kick ass band!

No Picture Tim Wanna Be	#2 by Tim at Dec 16, 1977 at 6:58 PM EST
	"aunque me dejaste hogando en el mar, acuestate en la tierra, la realidad de tu sueño manos de recuerdo solamente a ti te oígo yo ya me voy" = "even though you left me drowning in the sea, sleep in the earth, the reality of your dream hands of rememberance only you i hear me, i am already going" brought to you by your friendly neighborhood mexican punk :)

No Picture Senour Average	#3 by Senour Dakota at Nov 25, 1980 at 8:44 AM EST
	just so u know, wasting my air is awesome.....but i think its like by the vss, me and bach crap is the italian mars volta, not the mars volta so like its not them....but wasting my air and cut my teeth sorta sound like cedric singing but not quite

No Picture Slash Rhythm Player	#4 by Slash at Oct 11, 1981 at 11:46 PM EST
	www.themarsvolta.8m.com Its a really good site, content.

No Picture Funk Bass Wanna Be	#5 by Funk Bass Protagonist at Sep 25, 1986 at 11:26 AM EST
	Mars Volta makes me shit my pants, in a good way . . . a really good way.

No Picture NEKIDBASSIST Rhythm Player	#6 by NEKIDBASSIST at Dec 18, 1986 at 3:33 PM EST
	So from the interview it seems this song is The Mars Volta's way of saying "F-ck you" to Ben who was in At the Drive-in for pushing Julio Vanegas far enough that he committed suicide.

No Picture Andrew Average	#7 by Andrew Piwtorak at May 4, 1989 at 1:54 PM EST
	That is a broken question. I think The Mars Volta is the better of the groups, simply because the sound they produce is not only new, but cutting edge. While sparta is no doubt unique, it's not exactly rare...ya know?

No Picture Commander Cool Professional	#8 by Commander Cool at Oct 10, 1993 at 9:18 PM EST
	Thanks punk

No Picture Lead Player	#9 by Michael Leathers at Jul 8, 1995 at 3:42 AM EST
	Dude, I'm not shitting, but I think this song's guitars are in the same style as the "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" one.

No Picture Meaty Average	#10 by Meaty at Jan 11, 2001 at 7:23 PM EST
	this isn't THE mars volta, its mars volta... but thanks for trying.

No Picture paul Average	#11 by paul mcnutt at Mar 18, 2003 at 1:16 AM EST
	Harangue is English and has nothing to do with the Spanish form of lazyness. It means a speech given with strong feeling; it's synonym is tirade.
