Title: The SINGING GAME. Oh, how melodious.
Post by: Flippy_D on Mon 19/07/2004 00:14:55
Right, here's the deal. Think of it as a sort of Karaoke thing.

I name a song to start with, and the person(s) dumb brave enough to sing it uses the ol' sound recorder (windows > programs > accessories > entertainment for Win OS) to record his or her version (or however much they know of the song, even if it's only a few lines), to the ensuing hilarity/impressed murmurs of others. Like the paint game, I suppose it'll be first come first serve, with the entrant setting their own song.

Oh, and best keep to the known songs.

First up...

I want to break free by Queen.

Happy chanting.

There's even a backing chorus and a band for christ sake. I'll win. (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/breakfast.zip)

Now, next person.... GONE JACKALS - LEGACY

I dare you.

FINE. Seeing as some of you aren't MAN enough to sing LEGACY by the GONE JACKALS, I give you this: 

Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mamma Out

It's a song about taking your mamma out to a gay club to tell her you suspect you might be gay. Sing it with pride.

Okay.Ã,  Never heard it before, but it's a catchy little ditty.

Here's a version from my concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

Maybe it would be a good idea, if a person who doesn't know the song in question, that they could make up a song of their own to sing that would have the same title (I say this, thinking of the "stump the band" segment that they sometimes have on Lettermen).

It might make this a little more randomly crazy, like the Paint competition (and solve the potential problem of winners picking fairly unknown songs).

Just a suggestion, though.

Uh, Pump Up The Jam was a really popular techno hit in the early nineties.  I thought it was recognisable for it's cheesy ambiance......

Okay, my buddy and I got a little silly, so we recorded this version of  Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da (http://www.infamous-adventures.com/ObLaDi.wav).

It came about as a what if Drunken Irish Chipmunks played mandolins..........

Heh.

Oh, sorry. Misread the directions. :P Anyway. The song I'm suggesting is "I Feel Pretty", the song Maria sings in the movie/play West Side Story. (Yes, I am evil for submiting this). Change any other lyrics in the song, but the only condition is you need to leave in the word "Gay" in the verse.

I was using some cheap shareware thing to record, so it got cut off after a while, but I think you'll all appreciate it, regardless.

Edit: If I have to choose the next song, let it be...
Don't stop til you get enough - Michael Jackson

4. "We put the SPRING in Springfield" -Women at the local whorehouse
5. "Oh I wish I were an Oscar Myer Wiener"- Homer

"Just check the usual... is the mic turned up on windows sound controller, do you have the soundcard/onboard sound drivers installed... do you have it in the right slot?"

It just can't detect it. Maybe you're right and I don't have the drivers... but I wouldn't know where to look or what to look for. The mic hasn't even got a company name on it.
