Debbie Reynolds/Donald O'Connor/Gene Kelly/MGM Studio Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You came, I was alone
I should have known you were temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone, you were temptation
It would be thrilling
If you were willing
If it can never be
Pity me for you are temptation and I am yours

Here is my heart, take it and say
We'll never part
I'm just a slave
Only a slave to you, temptation
You were born to be kissed
I can't resist.

You are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart, take it and say
We'll never part




I'm just a slave
Only a slave to you, temptation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Temptation" express a love that is hard to resist despite knowing it can only bring pain. The singer is alone when the object of their desire arrives, and even though they sense the danger of giving in to temptation, they cannot help but fall for the traps of seduction. The lyrics are a metaphor for the universal experience of being drawn to something that is not good for us, whether it be a person, an addiction, or a bad habit.


The song builds its lyrics around the notion of temptation, with Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds providing a swinging, playful contrast to the bittersweet emotions of the lyrics. It is not surprising that it was one of the best-loved songs from the classic movie "Singin' in the Rain" and remains popular today. The lyrics juxtapose the knowledge of what is right with the allurement of what is wrong, creating a sense of tension and drama that resonates with many experiences of temptation.

Hey Tango, I'm the guy that made the inventory update suggestion in your stream on wednesday.
To give a bit more details regarding the "open shulkerbox in inventory" suggestion:

- If you use right click on a shulker in your inventory, it opens up the same GUI, as if you had opened a single chest.
(To help people visualize: Chest inventory up top, replacing your player character and crafting GUI, your inventory in the middle and hotbar down below).

- You should also get a hotkey to open the first shulker in your inventory, which also opens the same GUI as described above. This is purely a QoL feature, but it makes it feels much better to use. And as a gamedev you want to reduce the number of clicks/actions a player has to do to achieve something the player often does/wants to do.

- The "pick block" inventory search should also look into shulker chests and pull stuff from there into your hotbar. Currently "pick block" looks in your hotbar first, than inventory. And after that it should look into the shulker chests in your inventory. This is effectively a very vanilla "refill" method for placing lots and lots of blocks. Especially if you use a diverse build palette and therefore dont have much room in your inventory! But it doesnt help with food and stuff like rockets.

This is a very simple and very vanilla solution. And it should work everywhere and on every platform, because it uses the same mechanics and GUI as opening a chest.
Obviously stuff like shulker preview (like they have with bundles already), sorting, ability to switch the whole hotbar with inventory rows, double chest size inventory & shulkers/"backpacks" and stuff like auto refill for items and vacuuming matching items into shulkers, or even reserving slots with ghost blocks/items, are all nice-to-have features helping the the inventory problem, but I wanted to keep it simple and effective with my baseline suggestion!

What do you think?
