Captain's Log:
--------------------
TRAVEL back in time to the roaring '20s! HEAR the lush harmonies of the tenors and barelytones! SAVOR the experience of a double feature performance! REMEMBER the Simpsons episode that inspired this recording!
I would have re-recorded Korey's parts on these songs, but I just don't have the time for that right now. It was a push to do this quick-n-dirty mixdown last night for you my beloved Uber fans. And dammit, that organ-sound manifested itself near the end of the second song in this mixdown. Must be my unregistered version of nTrack studio software...or maybe I need to put MY organ away when I'm on my computer.
NOTABLE MOMENT: Dave hits a high Bb at the end of Coney Island Baby! I think Korey reached a low D in the bass part on Baby on Board too, although it was a bit mushed.
Lyrics:
---------
Baby on board, how I've adored that sign on my car's windowpane
Bounce in my step, loaded with pep 'cause I'm driving in the carpool lane
Call me a square, friend I don't care; that little yellow sign can't be ignored
I'm telling you it's mighty nice; each trip's a trip to paradise with my baby on board
Goodbye my Coney Island Baby, farewell my own true love (my honey)
I'm gonna go away and leave you, never to see you any (never gonna see you any)
I'm going to sail upon a ferry boat, never to return again
So goodbye, farewell, so long forever, goodbye my Coney Isle...
We all fall for some girl who dresses neat, some girl that's got big feet, we meet her on the street
Then we'll join the army of married boobs, to the altar (it's like leading lambs to slaughter)
When it's over, oh boy we get it good, bachelor days we then recall
So goodbye, farewell, so long forever, goodbye my Coney Isle babe
Coming In Session #4: "Splatter Splatter"

WAYYYY too much time on your hands...I KNOW you're unemployed!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Heh...nope. I'm just fortunate that my employer gives me the week between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day off paid holiday, and I padded that with four vacation days. Just now getting the mixdowns back from Korey for my use and abuse here on Uber.
My goal is to get all the music stuff up on Uber by Friday, as I leave Saturday for the UK the rest of the month and won't have my home PC with me.

I would like to see more people exploring other musical possibilities that lie in the influence of the past. Too many times people just want to do what's current and their art suffers because they end up sounding like every other thing that's out there at the moment. THere's too much music out there to limit ourselves, and that's why I'm glad to see you've done this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks. I enjoy far too many different styles of music to limit my creative ideas.
That being said, you're gonna LOVE what I'm putting out here on Friday...different from anything else I've done this week!

I have one more track left to do on that Nirvana Nevermind remake I never finished, "In Bloom". I was actually going to do something similar to this for it. All a-capella. Kinda scat. I'm still thinking about it.

Just read your explanation on the last one. That's a hell of a glitch to have if you ever pitch this to a record exec. Yeah...
--------------------------------
That's why I won't be using nTrack to mixdown any of the rest of my crap anymore. I can't take that chance! Barbershop could be the ticket out of this dive, yeah, that's the rub!

Dude, you did it again. At the end of "coney island" that organ comes out of nowhere on the left. What is that?
Otherwise, very nice work, although you would have been better suited using a true bass voice like mine. Low D's? I scoff at low D's. That's my normal talking tone.
On the flipside I have little range on top, so yeah.

...for covering The Be-Sharps.
------------------------------
Ah the irony of the B-Sharps...an improper musical note!

It IS strange. The first one got 200+ hits, the second one around 180.
What gives?
If anything, this is one of the easiest series of posts to enjoy...just click the link and listen.
Don't stop doing it, though. A) You've already done the work, you may as well share it. B) Some of us DO enjoy hearing what you've put together.
------------------------------------------------
And C) Several people will owe me blow jobs before this series is over.
Nevertheless, none of it will ever top the supreme Shenanigan Pie!

Appreciate the props, O-Man. But I fear that the interest in this is dying rather quickly. Either that, or everyone is actually working at the office this week.
Nah, it couldn't be the latter...could it?
Oh well, when I release my Uber-ripe double-feature parody of the Coasters ("Yakety Yak" and "Charlie Brown") on Friday, THAT ought to get some heat.

Absolutely awesome.
Great harmonics and sweet throwbacky goodness.
The strange organ sound was a bizarre moment.
But I hadn't read about it in the post - because I'm a Scanning Asshole, clearly - so it wound up making me giggle like a schoolgirl looking her uncle's No-No Area for the first time.
