Flexstyle Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------- LYRICS: Hit the forums (like a boss) OCRemix (like a boss) Get ideas (like a boss) June is boss month (like a boss) That should do it (like a boss) Pick a source tune (like a boss) Open FL (like a boss) Stare blankly (like a boss) Get annoyed (like a boss) Find a MIDI (like a boss) Add some VSTs (like a boss) Slap some drums in (like a boss) Submit to panel (like a boss) Wait a year (like a boss) Get rejected (like a boss) Workshop time (like a boss) Get some tips (like a boss) Make it better (like a boss) New arrangement (like a boss) Gain some confidence (like a boss) Submit again (like a boss) More rejection (like a boss) Aww shoot man, I’ll never get posted, I hate the judges Man up (like a boss) Go to college (like a boss) Music major (like a boss) Four year degree (like a boss) Cap and gown (like a boss) Grad with honors (like a boss) Dust off computer (like a boss) FL Studio (like a boss) Sick arrangement (like a boss) Rad production (like a boss) Submit again (like a boss) Wait another year (like a boss) Pass the panel (like a boss) More waiting (like a boss) Hit the front page (like a boss) OCRemixer! (like a boss) --------------------------------------------- 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) Quote
Rozovian Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Hilarious. 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) Quote
Gario Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Downloaded. (Like a Boss) EDIT: Just letting you know, I linked your track to my sig, if that's alright with you. It's just too perfect for the occasion. Quote
Flexstyle Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 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! Quote
