My self-parodying Intro song. Mock-terror narration vocals w/ a backing track recording of "Ride of the Valkyries", & a load of wildly & hilariously overdubbed Drums, Guitars, Sound FX, etc.!
Story behind the song
Conceived c1995 This is Take 4, mix 3 recorded Dec 2010, Sonar 8.
This is a Romeo Fox Trot, shall we dance!
Built on a core apx. 1 minute sample of Wagner's greatest hit from a well known movie (Clue: Involves helicopters, Martin Sheen, Robert Duval & people who don't surf, wink wink!!), to which was added a drum machine sequence , numerous Keyboards, Bass Guitar, Guitars, Sound FX samples & pitch shift-processed Vocals from Hell!!
Can you say, the Horror!. the Hoo-rror?
(I watched a snail.....crawling up the side of my effects rack!) :-D
On my first take, I bounced an UN-believable 30+ tracks around on ADAT, down to a stereo mix on 2 tracks.
My rapidly speeded up vocals on the fade out were made possible by an insert patch (on each of the vocal tracks as I recorded them) of a Boss Digital Delay Pedal FX, where I put it in Hold mode, set Delay time to Long, then while activating the pedal at the final..Nothing.. before the fade out begins, & manually manipulating the DT knob to its shortest delay time!!
Surprisingly enough, I did it like this on this take, even though this is the first computer tracked take I've done & I could have done it all with software & automating!
And remember....
....never get out of the Buss!!
Absolutely g****mn right!
Not unless you're going all the way direct to tape!!
(OK, OK! I'll end the 'Apocalypse Now' references, and move on to the next track!!) :-p
Lyrics
STRIKING FEAR AND NAUSEA INTO THE HEARTS & STOMACHS OF MUSIC LOVERS EVERYWHERE, THE MAN WITH THE MULTITRACK MIND VOMITS FORTH IN A MUSHROOM CLOUD UP FROM THE SEWER HOLE TO TERRORIZE THE FROZEN CITY WITH OBNOXIOUSLY OVER-PRODUCED MENTAL MASTURBATION!!
HE LIVES FOR OVER-DUBBING & BOUNCING TRACKS INTO INFINITY & BACK WITH ELECTRIFYING SPEEDS, & AT EAR
MELTING, BRAIN DISINIGRATING, EYEBALL GOUGING DECIBELS!!!
FRANTICALLY RUNNING HERE AND THERE, SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS, PEOPLE CLAMP THEIR HANDS OVER THEIR EARS &
DESEREATLEY TRY TO ESCAPE THE RANGE OF HIS LETHAL SONIC SOUND SEWAGE BUT TO NO AVAIL!!
HE IS EVERY WHERE!
HE IS EVERYTHING!
NOTHING CAN STOP HIM!
NO ONE CAN STOP HIM!
NOTHING!
NO ONE!
NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING, etc, etc, etc!!!!!
