I downloaded a midi file of Union of the Snake by Duran Duran. 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!

Otan, I thought you were going to do "Billie Jean", when the bass kicked in. 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!

I'm getting my cheese on... hope you got the Ritz.

Cool as always Bro!

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.

Man,

I'm still digging this groove!

great work!

it keeps cutting off on me. I am still in working with "Mighty Real"

My 2 year old seems to like it. As soon as it started her head started bobbing! I quickly followed!

I just wanna STANK U 4 the funk u SONOFAFUNKIN B.

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.

Michael Hutchence in da house!

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.

Otan, I'm starting to think it's only me and you on this one. Hehhehehee. I'm still trying to lay down these vox without coughing up a lung. It'll be done soon! Any guesses which band I'm covering?

I guess Culture Club, Karma Cameleon.

I'm working on Union of the Snake by Duran Duran.

I wish it would play. I may have 2 DL it.

Otan when i do mine (which I already have and just erased it cuz i was mad at it) should it be in it's original dance disco, or be in any way that we wants it 2 b?

I say do it any way you want to - lounge lizard, cabaret, death metal. Whatever.

Now how the hell would you actually get it right on the first damn guess?? My clue was so fu@#ing vague, too! Yep, that's the song...grrr.

artist08 said:

I must be psychic! At first, I was like, effeminate? 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.

VinaBlue said:

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.

artist08 said:

WELL? where's the cheese?

otan said:

Oh yeah! That's right...I'll have that mf on in the next couple days. Cold's gone!

artist08 said:

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

Oh yes, you'll get your cheese tonight. Naysayers can eat it on toast!
