UPDATE: Looks like a dsound fail for me! I thought it was all good to go, but apparently it does not actually play. Here is a youtube version... or "ewetube" as I like to spell it.
This week's Steemit Vision Quest inspired a little silliness in me! I had to find a karaoke version to back me even though I can play this on the piano. Trying to sing the new words and play and record was one task too many for this old dog! My process was pretty simple. The prompt brought this song to mind immediately and my odd little brain began composing new lyrics in my head right away. After couple days of cogitation, I tried to do a version but found I kept slipping back to the real words. At that point I fired up my Audacity software and ripped a karaoke background, I jotted my lyrics down so I could read them as I sang and put my lyrics over top of the music. In case you can't understand me, here ya' go!
The lyrics:
I heard there was a secret ward where crazy folks go if they love the Lord
And they don't want to go to a church where the preacher will screw ya'...
For sacraments they may crack a fifth, they call the toast, each glass they lift
And from their gut there comes a HOWLLELUJAH!!
Howllelujah, Howllelujah, Howllelujah, Howllelujah.
Well the drink was strong about 90 proof
In praise of God we raised the roof
The energy of the moonlight coursin' through ya'
We danced around like no one's there
Better yet, they are but no one cares!
And from their lips there comes the Howllelujah
Howllelujah, Howllelujah, Howllelujah, Howllelujah.
Baby, there's a God above
We need time to bask in the love
And play like little children with our crew, ya
That wolf cry that you hear at night
Could be someone who's seen the light
So raise your voice in joyous Howllelujah!
Howllelujah, Howllelujah, Howllelujah, Howllelujah.
Howllelujah, Hooooowwwwllllll...
The cover art is a sketch done by my best friend almost 30 years ago. I am dedicating this post to her as today is her BIRTHDAY! We will be together at the next new moon, getting our howl on!
This is my first dsound upload, and I must say it was very easy to use!
