Well, here's my entry, and I figured I'd both play to my strengths and do something a little different. If you click the link below, you'll hear it. That's right....hear it.

Sadly, my microphone is a little muffled. A bit of a shame, since I paid £50 for it. So, I posted the lyrics below. Enjoy.


When The Forum Types
A Green Day/CoH Tribute by Fire Guardian

Bridger has come and gone
The questions stop, until they come
Wake me up when the forum types

Patches are discussed
The jokes are said, an Emote's must
Wake me up when the forum types

Here's the irritating bit
Clicking glowies don't do [censored]
Let's talk about it rationally
That's what the forum's for.

Helping people 'cause we can
I could beat Superman
Wake me up when the forum types.

Here comes the PVP
Forum goers type quickly
So wake me up when the forum types

Archetypes are torn to shreds
Didn't you hear a word I said
Wake me up when the forum types

We should all get vehicles
That would just be really cool.
You couldn't fit them on the roads
They'd look cool anyway.

Asking Statesman 'bout his bit
Everyone prefers War Witch
Wake me up when the forum types.

Whats a better type to play?
Healers always save the day
Blasters always end up dead
Save them if you can
Save them if you can

Trading info on XP
This is where I want to be
So wake me up when the forum types

Helping people 'cause we can
I could beat Superman
Wake me up when the forum types.

Wake me up when the forum types
Wake me up when the forum types
When the forum types

What they all said! Would you be offended if I was to spam this on my Evolution Radio show?

Xanth, I'd be honoured if you would.

Whether I win the Creative Genius whatjamacallit or not, I'm overjoyed with the response that WTFT has gotten. Thanks everyone.

Dude, you've got a hot voice.

That was great, though! Brilliant execution, and an incredibly original idea.

Woo hoo!

Okay, because I didn't realise what a great response I'd get from you guys, and because I didn't like the way the first one came out, I re-recorded the song, which can now be found at the link below.

Please note that the first URL is no longer valid, to save on my webspace.

In what regards? The entire process runs thusly:

To create the actual song, I took three cans of Stella and a lot of time listening to the original song. Then I downloaded the instrumental track from IRC (by which, of course, I mean, checked the copyright laws and used the one I already own. Heheheh. )

I then used Nero Wave Editor to sing the vocal track whilst Media Player played the instrumental music. If you listen very carefully at the beginning of that WMA, you can hear me say something unintelligable. It's actually a cut off version of me saying "now", because I need to align the instrumental and the vocal tracks, and a starting point cuts out a LOT of time trying to find the right place.

I then use a program called Mixmeister to do the aforementioned aligning, adding a slight reverberation to the vocal track (Of -13.400 Db, if anyone's interested), and manually level the vocal track, so it sounds a little more professional than 'some dude singing over a track' then, once I'm entirely happy with the finished product, save it, and upload it to my webspace using Windows Explorer, since FTP programs and me....really don't work well. The entire process, from the original concept to the saving of the WMA, can take anywhere from 2-7 hours. I got lucky, as this particular song only took about five.

I was incredibly bored.

If you need any help with any part of this, or you'd simply like me to host your song on my webspace, I'd be more than happy to. Send me a PM on the forums (which I check at least twice a day) and we'll chat.

That is incredibly hot, you deserve no-less than a knighthood for this. Fantastic.

"Asking Statesman 'bout his bit

Best lyrics ever, to boot.
