You know, taking *actual* time to work on this could be seen as a sign of insanity! ;)

No way am I listening to any of those tonight.

I need a night's sleep without that tune going around in my head.

I'll catch up in the morning.

thanks mate - you too! Great little cutup thing - what technique did you use for the verse? It sounds like you're cutting between two parts?

Just took three 8bar loops out of the track, sliced them and based on those i slammed three cutup parts together. One is the kind of double cut vocal, the other ones just instrumental slices to accompany the vocal... totally quick and childish for the fun of it....

:D How can you not imagine Japanese anime Chipmunks performing for an arena with that track?
Brilliant! Just needs a touch of Alvin.

props to the submissions. they're worth having this #$%ing #$%$ #$%ing song stuck in my head along with the "Bake A Cake" Lil John remix (my head's a horrifying place.)

FWIW the chords to this song are G Em Am D over and over, putting it in the key of D or B minor. dial up the scale plug in to D major and you should be able to figure out the melody pretty quick. or more or less stick to the notes
D E F# G A B C# (mostly white keys.)

(just killing time at work wishing I was at home playing... :? )
