So I have been trying to figure out how to at least finish up the first disc of BC. I recently saw Was (Not Was) and it got me to playing with some of the funk guitar patterns. Combine that with looking at Welcome to the Crotch Kicking Dept, and I got the idea to do it as a James Brown song.

Lots of "ow" and "uhn", and other J.B. stuff it actually makes sense.

I think I can handle the guitar and funk bass, I might be able to find the right drum track, but I would probably need help on the horns and sax sounds.

I will see if I can cobble together something just as a starter.

I'm smiling already.

Here is a basic verse concept recording.

Still looking for decent horns and sax sounds...

Ooooh, I would love to get in on the vocals for this one! (I keep thinking of Eddie Murphy's "Hot Tub - Yow!" sendup on SNL.) How bad are the cakewalk VSC sounds? Remember to set it to "GS" and not "GM" sounds - a lot more to choose from. If that doesn't cut it, I have a few "HORNCRAFT" and "POWERFX" loops lying around you might be able to do something with.

Or, check out http://www.wallanderinstruments.com/?menu=products#Trial It got a good review from Computer Music

Interesting wind and brass sounds. (Though missing was saxophone). The instruments sounds like they would be great for an orchestration. Not quite funky enough for this.

I did check out the GS sounds. Funny, I had never noticed that option. One of the sax sounds is pretty good. Good for a short chord hit progression.

I would be happy to entertain some vocalizations. I still want to see if I can work in some of Tim's stuff but it will probably take the form of background voice work. I have some more twisted ideas I working on. Like most of these songs I want it fun but with a tinge of scary dark side.

A cheery, fun-sounding song with creepy lyrics? Sounds like Interröbang Cartel to me....
