Tone Deaf Eagles
March 25th, 2009
In case you missed it during the internet telethon insanity that was RedNoseNet, here’s a video of me and Paul and Storm working on our new cover band project. (Please note: it is not too late to donate to Comic Relief.)
Is it hard for a capella vets to sing wrong on purpose?
Please please please whatever you do, do not do a cover of “Africa” by Toto.
Please please please whatever you do, DO do a cover of Rock Me Amadeus by Falco.
DO make a cover of “Africa” by Toto! I’m getting nauseous just thinking about it.
Yay!
Ken Plume: Heys guys, I’m doing 24 hour webcast for charity. Would you like to contirbute a video?
JoCo and others: Sure. Here’s a clip that’s under two minutes long to help you fill time!
Classic!
I think it is hard to sing that badly… you can hear them (esp. Paul) tending to drift back into perfect intervals and then thinking “NO! MUST FIGHT IT!”
Whereas when I sing it, it’s kinda the opposite problem…
If we pay you, will you stop? *grin* lol
It does look hard to be intentionally that bad, when I KNOW how good you can be!
It sounds like random mashing of an old keyboard with ‘Casiochord’ turned on. Loved it. Just thought I’d share
Just so you know… When you know how to sing, this kind of thing is very difficult to pull off. Hilarious.
Watching that was like getting punched in the face by my grandmother. LOL
When I first saw that video I could not stop laughing for around 5 minutes I almost fainted, it must hurt to sing so out of harmony.
As a choral singer from way back, I can attest that it is easy to go a little out of tune but very, very hard to go WAY out of tune like that.
Awesome.
This was so very funny. Thanks.
I’ve got a good 5-6 minutes of outtakes on this one; we spent a long time unable to get past the first few notes without laughing. I’m still not doing a very good job of it in the finished version.
But thanks, everyone!
Paul.
Tellingly perhaps, I did not find it difficult to sing badly out of tune. The hardest part was not laughing.
that was terrible.
My ears are bleeding but my mouth is laughing!
a lot.
Although, for a split second, maybe a split of a split second, I think there was some actual harmony, you should fix that.
You should definately do a cover of Africa
“Seven Bridges Road” is one of my favorite Eagles songs and wow, that performance sure was something. What that ‘something’ is, I’m not exactly sure…I’m going to go with awesomely painful.
So: Exactly how much bribery would be need to be involved to see those outtakes posted?
Paul, you were doing pretty well not laughing, though your smile was kinda wide there in the first few seconds.
And yes, I’d be willing to “feed the cow” to see those outtakes.
That was TERRI…..BLY awesome. Hell yes.
Well great. Now I’m hard.
It could have been a bit more twangy.
I gave this video to my brother for his birthday; hope you don’t mind. He did.
I don’t get what everyone is talking about. It sounded fine to me.
Good work. It’s actually HARD for someone with ears to sing that badly off key.
Wow! Congrats… that sounded like it took EFFORT!!!
AAARRRGGGHHHH !!!! I think I’ve gone deaf !!!!
It MIGHT have sounded better if you had farted it instead of “singing” it, lol…
This needs to go in a time capsule for when the aliens arrive….
