Experiment in Terror Mimic Cover in 6 hrs *SINGER WANTED!

[Diseased Project]

First of all, direct copy paste from VGmix boards:

This one needs a little explaining: Last night, before going to sleep, I was listening to Fantômas album The Director's Cut, and fell in love with one song in particular: Experiment in Terror. Today, after I woke up (at about 10 am) I thought "what the hell, I'm going to cover the song because it's just too awesome". Of course, my plan was not without some troublesome areas, like "I'm not a singer, let alone Mike Patton -quality", the song has a lot of parts that aren't perfectly audible, etc. etc. Well, I thought I'd give it a shot anyways. First I learned the song on guitar and bass, then started putting notes into Reason. I also figured I'd replace Mike Patton's vocals with a generic flute, hehe.

So, I didn't want to change a whole lot regarding the song. Obviously some of the drum fills, small tricks in (vocal) melodies, etc. we're impossible to mimic but I did my best on such short time period. Also, the clean guitars I'm not totally happy about, I just couldn't find the perfect sound. Btw. did you know it is especially hard to mimic vocals when they are distorted That's why there's a bit of static on purpose on one part.

While this was for fun only, if you feel like I should fix something (anything), let me know, I'll see what I can do. Please note that this isn't supposed to be a perfect cover of the song, you should still prefer the Fantômas version by a mile. This is just a homage to a great song (I think I should see the film too) Although, I'm gonna try to improve it (=make it even more like the original) later.

If someone wants to do any comparison, here's a Youtube link to one show where Fantomas performed this song, though when it comes to drums it's a little different compared to the album version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AyFtK1w6cE (well the vocals are a bit different too)

Now, afterwards I got an idea of tossing the flute and trying to sing it. Well, it didn't work, because a. I can't sing. Now, if there's someone here who thinks he (or she) can sing, and would like to try singing the lyrics (aka, flute melody), let me know and I'll contact you (and give you a file that doesn't have the flute, accompanied with the original song. I hope that won't give me lawsuits). Here are the lyrics as they'd go:

This luck you can't buy

Won't touch you this time

One day this dirty stool pigeon will fly

Halos and charmed lives

I'll help you next time

One day this dirty stool pigeon will fly

And hear the angels sing

Reach out and spread my wings in hell

Your luck has run dry

Caught in the bulls-eye

Today this pretty little birdy will die

Will die

Will die

No singing tonight

Alright I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
