I'm so glad this site is still up! My blogs I wrote when I was like... 12... are here. Cringy, but amusing. I'm also happy to see that there are plans in the works!
Alright, I'm really going out on a limb with how outgoing you lil boys and girls are, but I'm working on a little project and I'm wondering if you guys could help out.
Basically I need you guys to use www.vocaroo.com or any recording software (send results to dr.wilycrap@gmail.com) and sing one verse from this song, I'm hoping you all know it:
Gee, Officer Krupke (West Side Story)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7TT4jnnWys
Basically I want you to pick a character and sing his verse. I know all the lyrics by heart and I'm not an AWFUL singer so I can do the main part (Riff) if nobody else wants to, but I need at least one recording per voice. Then I'll put them all together in a editing software I'm trying out (which is why I'm doing this in the first place)and post it for y'all glorious peoples.
I'm trying to get the speech down too. If you can record each line individually and seperate from the verse, It'll be easier for me to patch together.
What I need:
Riff (Singing/Speech: Main verse, "Me officer Krupke?", etc.)
Tiger (Speech,"Hey you, gimme one good reason for not hauling you down etc, etc.) ALL LINES
Snowboy (Singing/Speech:Judge's verse, "Here ye! Here ye!", etc)
Action (Singing/Speech: Headshrinker's verse, "Juvenile delinquency is purely a social disease", etc.)
Arab (Singing: Social Worker's verse)
IMPORTANT: CHORUS (Entire end verse from "We're no good, We're no good, We're no earthly good" WILL BE SUNG BY AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE) I'm not splitting up the lines here, it's just a big sing-a-long jamboree.
IMPORTANT: DON'T IMITATE THE CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE. DO IT IN YOUR OWN STYLE YOU UNCREATIVE POOP
It's also important that whoever sings each verse also sings the short chorus bit after their verse (preferably in a seperate file)
I'm syncing it all up to this instrumental
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q97hrfzkXDw
so follow along with that while you sing.
You can sing whichever verse you want, and try out as many verses as you want. I will pick the best one to be in the mashup.
I know this is very complicated and I've got a decent backup plan involving other (probably more reliable) people, but I'm giving you guys dibs because I'm an idiot.
