Anyone recognize the song called "Honey Pie"? McCartney sings it, on the White Album I think, and it has an intentionally old-timey sound on the vocals, especially that line "Now she's hit the big time . . . in the U.S.A."
I am writing a song parody about Martha Stewart, to the tune of "Honey Pie," and I want to capture that "1920's" sound. How do you think this is done? My instincts say it's a megaphone held to the mouth, but surely the original crooners of that era did not hold up a megaphone to their mouths when recording.
It may be necessary to use an old microphone, but those aren't that easy to come by.
