Reply To: Song-Fu 2
OK listened to all the songs. I think my votes don’t change from Round 1: P&S and Jason. Didn’t vote yet; going to listen again later when I’m not hung over. But how come everyone seemed to think that all dance crazes were 50s corny things that start with “Do the”? Does no one remember the only “Dance” we did at my wedding: THE TIME WARP?!? I will say that I’m pleasantly surprised at the variety of inventors selected; I probably could have seen “Ogg” and Marconi coming (wouldn’t referencing Edison as the liar/fraud been better?), but kudos to all Fu’ers for their research.
Oh and @P&S: Snce I know P&S probably are one of the few folks in the competition who have heard Alley Oop, I’ll forgive them for the lift. 🙂 I love the ending: “Nah, probably Magic.”
Nate’s song is exactly why I was unsure whether or not “The Flux” (which apparently is now the name of my song by majority vote .. I’m calling it “Great Scott, It’s the Flux!” in my head~) should use samples. It futzes with the pace of the song. I don’t know if Nate slowed his song down for the samples or not, but it just ain’t a dance. I can’t dislike the song tho, since he and I clearly had similar though process.
True story: We banned the Macarena, Chicken Dance et al from my wedding. During the main course, the DJ came over to me and mentioned that people were asking for them. My response was “When they pay you more than I am, you go ahead and play it.”
