Here my lovies is the transcription of the Korn Video :)
Also, In accordance to what was said in the last post regarding the music industry, Blink 182 seems to also think the industry wastes its money on nothing, as oposed to the music... Check it out!

Korn Ya’ll Want a Single
Music monopoly
One corporation owns the five major video channels in the US
Is that OK?
Last year the big 5 record labels together sold about 25 billion dollars of music
90% of all realeses on major labels do not make a profit
Britney spears last video cost 1,000,000
This korn video costs 150,000
(after 50 seconds of video) you have now seen 48,000 worth of video
will any music channel play this video?
The music “industry” releases 100 songs per week.
Only four songs are added to the average radio “playlist” each week
Hit songs on top 40 are repeated over 100 times a week.
Is that all you want to hear?
Why is a song worth 99 cents
Do you download songs?
Steal this video
This is a single.
Two radio congolerates control 42% of listeners
The record company wanted to change this video. We didn’t.
Ya’ll want a single?
90% of all singles get to the hook within 20 seconds
98% of all singles are less than 3:30 seconds long
does that seem like a formula to you?
With all that said…
We love making music
Is this the music buisiness?
Is that okay?
Thank you for your 3 minutes of time
Music monopoly?
Love, Korn
