I did a track with my buddy: A theme song for his WoW clan... That's about as far as I've gone, but then again, I've spent litteraly hundreds of hours building racks for the Covert Operators. Both remarkably geeky things, in my opinion!

Amazing. What kind of idiot THINKS of this shit??
Jack Chick. He's a nutter for sure! I think he's hilarious personally. In Western Canada, sometimes old ladies will wait outside bars or concerts and hand out the "party girl" tract.

How about using various profile shots of Tom Baker as Dr Who fed into Cameleon for sounds? maybe layered with Biomechanoid's Abysnth patches?
For music, maybe slices of Cosi Fan Tutte triggered by the speech rhythms from reruns of the Charles Grodin show
When Charles Grodin paused, more music from CFT would advance in...

Hey guys

I did the vocals and I totally understand if you think the speech is a bit camp:D

I have a lvl 50 Tauren Druid on Ahn'Qiraj (EU), very addictive game, fortunately Live is more addictive:P

Yep, I did all the vocals. I really love the Middle Eastern way of singing, I remember watching a concert with Natascha Atlas at the Roskilde Festival - amazing stuff!

...and the whole recording *is* a bit tongue-in-cheek, you can't do a theme song for anything without going corny.

Thanks for all the nice words - it was a fun few hours in the studio, for sure!

wow I'm really impressed now!

the only corny bit was the spoken bit which as I said straight away put me in mind of that Tommy/Apache dude we've seen the youtube of round here once or twice, the rest of it I could easily see a label like Real world being into - i really like it, very good
