I downloaded a midi file of Union of the Snake by Duran Duran. mr.green I've been tweakin the sounds and rehearsing the vocals. Really, I've been rehearsing these vocals since I was 16, lol. I LOVE this song. It's probably the best Duran song, arrangement-wise. I should have a demo up by the end of the week.

I'll listen to your track when I get home, G!

peace

Otan, I thought you were going to do "Billie Jean", when the bass kicked in. lol But you actually succeeded doing a very cool version of 'Do Ya Wanna Funk'. So it IS possible to do it without that typical 16th note bass sequencing (although that keyboard is doing some hidden 16th sequencing!). Very cool man! I would only cut off a minute or so, I think it is loosing its impact towards the end. But otherwise: very cool!
RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

You're right - I just kept going and going and going, cuz I didn't know the lyrics when I was recording the music - I coulda sworn there was a third and fourth verse.

no no, STANK YOU, Smelly Much!

I kind of like the "I Wish" bassline laid over the electro keys... with my painful voice over the whole thang.

Oh yeah, I'm working on my cheese right now. I'm doing a song by a certain 80's band with a rather effeminate looking lead singer. I hope that narrows it down for ya. I've got a bit of a cold so the vocals have been hard. I keep coughing while singing and it doesn't sound good. Music's done, though.

omfg I must be psychic! nuts At first, I was like, effeminate? confuse Weren't they all? Then I thought of the most effeminate. Then I just guessed which song I could picture you singing. That was the first thing that popped in my head. It just came to me. My intuition must be really good right now. I thought of it before you asked for a guess.

Yes, a lot of them were effeminate. That's why I thought I was funny...haha. Anyhow, I don't know if I should be flattered or not that you instantly think of me singing that song. eek

I keep trying to record the vocals for mine but it just doesn't come out right. I think I'm being too picky.
