Seeing as how June is Boss Month, I thought I'd give tribute to the first boss I ever faced as a 6-year-old gamer--Moskito, from the original Rayman game on the PC. If you're looking for the source tune,

Now, I'm sure many of you are familiar with The Lonely Island--you know, the Andy Samberg-spearheaded comedy music group. You may even be familiar with their song "

." You may now be connecting the dots in your head--"hmm," you'll say to yourself, "did he really do a VGM remix while parodying and/or ripping off the style of a
? No, surely he didn't."

Oh yes I did.

TO DO:

- Change the strings to resemble the guitar line in the source

- Re-record the first intro voice to negate the nasty mic-popping

- Record an outro, a la "Like A Boss"

- Possibly add a fake horn, a la "Like A Boss"

- Polish up the "guitar solo"

- Mix up the beats a bit so it doesn't get boring

- Get some feedback from everyone here

- Send some faxes (like a boss)

Hilarious. :D

I'm on the laptop so I can't say much about the production atm (except that it seems a bit lacking in the lows, especially the intro could use a low brass thing or something), nor do I know the source (but some variation in the backing wouldn't hurt. You could have a bit more variation to the "like a boss" parts too, the original goes from basically screaming it to sometimes just stating it, and sometimes more "bawss" than "boss".

maybe you should this to the end:

??? (like a boss)

profit (like a boss)

Roz: Should be tons of bass in the mix (custom pseudo-808 FTW), but maybe I'm missing something in the low-midrange. I'll see what I can do. Also, I'm actually pretty happy with the lyrics as they stand, since I think getting posted makes for a fitting conclusion.

Gario: I'm flattered! :D
