I blame it all on Sluice...........

After all he started this whole thing......Thanks Tom, I've always wanted to do this song!

Lead and bass centered mono.
3 backing vocals doubled and panned
3 clap tracks... Left, Right, and Center.

The hardest thing to do was the hand claps. I felt like a total spazz trying to just clap on the upbeat.
First I tried to clap and sing at the same time, but I'm just too "white". So I wound up clapping along to the click track. I know I dropped the beat a few times, but bear with me, it resolves.

I don't know who the original artist or author is, but I think it's from 50s-60s MoTown. I first heard it around 1980 by a band called "Clover".

twist,

Nice Job!! You are a very talented singer.

You will never have to worry about VD how ever as you don't have the clap That was a joke, ya'll......

I never heard the original but, I liked your rendition.

You did a fine job.

Cheers!

Don't you go blaming me for this...

...ok I've heard it. You can blame me all you want. This is excellent. If I'd have known all these great a capellas were gonna happen I might have spent more time on my own. This is just AWESOME. I rarely hand out the word "awesome" around here. Here it is again.

AWESOME

There... that should get some listens for ya. But seriously, that was impressive. No complaints. Great singing!

I haven't heard it, but since every a capella post begins with a self depreciation and ends with a huge applause I just say:

Twist, this is terrific

Excellent singing. Love the harmonies.

I'll check it out tonight....gotta write some SQL queries and Unix scripts first (work)

Man o' man....
I wish I could sing...


These acapellas have been awesome....this is no exception man...
Really excellent harmonies and placement in the mix...just a little busy at 1:40-1:45 but that would be a real nit pick...


Good stuff man...

Ghost Thanks! I'm happy to say, I've never had the clap!

Studio I added the 2nd verse cause the song is so damn short. Thankyou!!

Sluice Wow, thank you! And thanks for starting this. Fun!

Doug Thanks for listening Doug.

Party pants Do you like to dress up when you record too? Gotta get in character, right?

Milan Glad you liked it, now get going!


Hi Toki Thanks, but it's really not a hard song if you break it down into parts. Thanks for listening.

Mac Thanks!

Joro Dude! You CAN sing. Now say it with me: I can Sing! Thanks for listening

skids Thanks!

Ped C'mon man, what's more important, music or work? Thanks for checkin me out!

GT I really hope they can't hear me down here in the basement. Noone has called the cops yet, so that's a good sign!


Really, thanks everyone for all the kind words. Very generous you are. It's all my pleasure, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Didn't anyone notice any problems? C'mon guys help me out!

Nice vocals and harmonies. That clap is damn distracting, though. :-) Nice job. A capella is the hardest thing in the world to do.

That was fantastic! You know what really amazed me the most was that you could sing so well in all those ranges. The oohs are incredible--those things are hard to do. The bass line cooked too. Intonation is flawless. I'd hire you out as a background vocal ensemble anyday. Each voice sounds like a different cat too!

That was a real treat to hear!
