I currently am undertaking a project that involves mixing closer, but using 'guest' voices. Very soon, I will have finished making a version of Closer that is completly instrumental. All in need is some .wav files of *ANY* person, and I can make them sing the song! I would record different words, alter the pitch, and string the words together in time with the song. Some people that come to mind are Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, Pat Robertson (Of the 700 Club) (Religious Conservative Freak). All I need is a .wav file of them talking (The longer the better), and I can make anybody sing the song!
I think that I will do many mixes of Closer, with each person having their own mix. Maybe I'll also do a mix with a lot of people singing, too.
Currently, on the instrumental version, I have finished all the parts where people would be singing, except for "through the forests...The reason I
stay Alive," And the last part promises to be a real bitch, since there are a million subtleties to account for... But I'm sure I can account for all of
them, and finish the entire instrumental version by Monday at the latest, Thursday at the earliest. If you would like to post something on TONCN
about me asking for ideas in the news section, about who I should have singing the lyrics, that'd be cool. The problem is that I do not know of too
many voices that are really recognizable, and would sound exceptionally funny in a song. Here's the list, to date of possible canidates:
Bill Clinton
Bob Dole
Pat Robertson
Michael Jordan
Adam Corrola/Dr. Drew of Loveline
Ross Perot
Oprah
Geraldo
Arnold Swartzenager (heh, can *anybody* spell his last name??)
Some Seinfeld Charactor
Anyways, if you have any ideas about who I should have sing 'Closer' or where I could find .wav files of Clinton, etc, I'd appreciate an E-Mail, or a post here.
