Martin in Dunfermline,

It seems the words are closely related! I have read dictionary definitions of centrifugal & centripetal and can make sense of neither.

I have also consulted online lyric sheets, and the answer depends on the site.

However... having listened to the song a few times, (paying particular attention to the source of this dispute), I am convinced that Faith Hill is employing the word centrifugal.

Perhaps the confusion arises from her strange (to our ears) pronunciation, where she places the emphasis on the second syllable.


:o)

Asked for quite a few times before...a track with drumming to the fore...very energetic, good stuff...

The Walkmen - 'The Rat'




Or...a Christmassy second-choice...Julian Casablancas - 'I Wish It Was Christmas Today'

#1 @ ya SG

anybody thats been to the carnival and went on the 'rotor' gets slammed into the wall by the centrifugal force........the force acting away from the centre....hence ye get stuck tae the wall.

the centripetal force acts in the opposite direction........towards the centre.

a word of caution.......should you ever go on a 'rotor' whose centripetal force is greater than the centrifugal force then you'll end up in a mass of tangled bodies in the centre as if you were being dragged roond and roond like they auld twin-tub washing machines.

i used tae get that drummed intae me

cheers frae the dale

dale_kelvin,

I'm none the wiser, but thank you for trying!


;o)

#5 fill a bucket with water and swing it around. If ye don't get wet, your centrifugal force is working fine because the water stays in the bucket.

BUT

the bottom of the bucket is exerting a centripetal force on the water to stop it burstin through




Seeeeempuls

Dr Evil has Austin strapped down to a large rotating disc (in classic fashion).

Dr Evil: Mr. Powers this disc will begin rotating and the arising centrifugal force will crush every bone in your body!

Powers: Centrifugal force is simply a myth taught by overzealous science teachers. It does not exist.

Dr. Evil: On the contrary Mr. Powers with a simple change in the coordinate system and the inertial reference frame, the centrifugal force will exist.

Powers: Well do you expect me to do coordinate system calculations in my head while strapped to a giant disc!?

Dr Evil: ÌýNo Mr. Powers I expect you to die!Ìý

Little drummer boys?

DC,

There's a hole in my bucket.

Mars Bonfire,

heehee!

youse are not paying attention, it's songs about drumming etc

Kick Drum Heart - The Avett Brothers

Beat the Devil's Tattoo - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Rhythm Guitar -

Welcome aboard the starship Boney M! Keith Forsey on drums:

Boney M. - Nighflight to Venus

and also on this classic:

Sparks - No.1 Song In Heaven

he later wrote Dont You Forget About Me.....

Enjoy Phil Collins first try at his In The Air Tonight drum track on the brilliant:

Peter Gabriel - Intruder


The best drumming on a Paul Simon track:

Paul Simon - The Obvious Child

and I am reminded of this great track, best version

Chris Farlowe - Out Of Time

and I do love a lot of Adam and the Ants or just Adam Ant but any chance of giving Antmusic a rest on this theme?

Adam and The Ants - Kings Of The Wild Frontier, which has a superb b side.....

@ ya Gaie, you're quite correct.

Drummers drumming

He's Gonna Step On You Again - Johnny Kongos, I think Gaie will approve ;-)

On the rare occasions my son has the time to visit his old man we inevitably talk music. I once asked him to name one song that he would take to his desert island for the drumming alone. His answer rather surprisingly for a guy in his mid 20's was

50 ways to leave your lover / Paul Simon

but then he thinks Steve Gadd is a god.

& Paul?

Rain On The Roof - Lovin' Spoonful

#11
No Showaddywaddy Norrie?

In fact, did we no have drumming as a theme quite recently? I seem to recall discussing bands with two drummers and Olodum backing Paul Simon on The Obvious Child.



Here Come The Drums - Rogue Traders

(in case we're allowed 'in the title')

#10

Gaie,

Oh.


TUESDAY


Chuck E. Weiss, who has played drums for Willie Dixon, Dr. John, Roger Miller, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf et al. is the subject of a song called

The Drums - Forever & Ever Amen

Florence & The Machine - Drumming Song

White Rabbits - Percussion Gun

#16

I think that's called

Vodoo Child - Rogue Traders

I think you're getting mixed up with a different theme - though it did involve a number of requests for Paul Simon - mine was 'Proof' and something else form the 'Rhythm of the Saints' got played.

What was that theme again?

regardez - youse

henri

PS many thanks for all your messages of congratulation, much appreciated.

oops!

Here you go Henri. It was a few weeks ago:

/blogs/bryanburnett/2011/11/here_come_the_drums.shtml?postid=110886546

Jeezo Adam - that is uncanny how similar my post is from last time AND I seem to have stolen some fellow bloggers contributions from that thread!!

#22

Worth a revisit for your "Plaque Is Plaque" alone.


#23

Try to hold on for the holidays, Norrie.

for the hard of hearing/reading....

'We're banging a drum and hitting a perfect beat tonight to close our 12 Days of Christmas theme - it's songs about drumming, beats, rhythm - rhythm of the rain, beating of your heart or perhaps the Little Drummer boy...We're sure your suggestions will be bang on the money!'

#12 yes, remember it well!

What a debt we owe you for bringing us unworthy bloggers the word of the great one.

#25

Thanks for that Gaie. So its "songs about".

Probably too late now, but here's a bit of power pop from 79.

"Drummer Man" - Tonight

Tee groan

mAry chapin carpenter - the rythm of the blues

Waterboys - she bans the drum

Tracy chapman - bang bang

Bowie - bang bang

bowi - beat of your drum

#6 etc
While the frame of reference comment is relevant for the smart-a***s, from the FoR of the rest of the universe, the water in the bucket *in steady motion* is doing the following:

1) Trying to maintaining its state of straight line motion. This is at a tangent to the circle it's moving in - if the bucket disappeared, it would follow a straight line that just touches the circle at the point of release, at right angles to the line to the centre of the circle.

Remembering :
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same (straight line) direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

The reason why it doesn't keep going in that straight line is because it's undergoing 3 forces

1) Gravity - when the bucket disappears, the water would follow a curve like the one emerging from a horizontally fired water pistol. Except it'd be in a lump, not a stream of water.

2) Upward force from the lower side of the bucket, balancing gravity. Remove the sides from your bucket and it'll fall out.

3) Inward force from the base of the bucket (actually, the system formed from the base of the bucket, the handle and the string/your arm), pushing the water inward. Lose the base of your bucket, and the water won't zap outwards, away from the centre of rotation at the moment of disappearance, but will follow the straight line as above.

The water is not pulling you out; you have to pull it in to stop it continuing in a straight line and conform to the circular path.

And will you be getting the No 12 Meccano set this year from Santa to complete your half-size scale model of the Forth rail bridge or are you not allowed tools in there?

Right, DRUMS!

* Howard Jones - Pearl in the Shell Great snare intro
* Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier
* The Knack - My Sharona
* The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
* Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - I Love Rock & Roll

Beautifully delicate percussion:
* Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street

Also very much worth a shout for Runrig tonight, with their double percussion setup:
* Runrig - Pride of the Summer
Beat the Drum/Snares loud and blaring etc

Fairly surprised m'fellow bloggers haven't gone all googly eyed over great drummers like Powell, Moon, Baker, Brzezicki and so on. And over Ringo.

Maybe it's because of the classic Muso jokes:
Q: What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians?
A: A Drummer

Q: How do you know if there's a drummer at the door?
A: The knocking gets faster
etc

If this was the start of the weekend, I'm sure we could have re-written that song for the blog
