Scans_Daily Is Just Awesome

What ho, Scans_Daily!
Maybe you saw it a few months ago when [personal profile] bluefall made an icon based on the Discovery channel's Boom De Yada song, or you've encountered it through some of the other users who worn it. Well, you may be excited to learn that [personal profile] mad and I have been working with her to expand it!

But that's not all, we need your help to make this the true community effort it ought to be!

So who wants to be a part of the Scans_Daily Boom De Yada?
Basically, what's going on is we've re-written the lyrics to be more community-specific, but we need people to sing them!

I love the multi-verse
I love batdickery
I love girl robins
I love things context free


I love Scans_Daily
And all its silly crack

(boom de yada x 4)

I love crossdressing
And dictionary words
I love an argument
I love when porn's absurd


I love Scans_Daily
It's such a happy place

(boom de yada x4)

I love the kids' stuff
I love old horror tales
I love the bondage
I love when good prevails


I love Scans_Daily
Where it's never just you (we need as many people singing this line as possible!)
(boom de yada into fade)

See any particular line you like? Than what I need you to do is let me know! Once you've laid your claim, I'll strike the line out so others know it's taken. At that point, we'll need you to make a recording of you singing that line and e-mail it to thelonechimaera@yahoo.com so I can compile it all.

Don't have a microphone? Not a problem if you have headphones! Just plug them into the microphone jack and one side should work just fine (you might need to check which side before recording)!

Now, we want to respect the privacy of our contributors, so if you're not down with letting everyone know which voice is yours, claiming your line by sending me an e-mail instead of leaving a comment is perfectly acceptable.

Now, a few lines need multiple voices (feel free to harmonize if you feel led!)
~ As noted above, we're hoping to get everyone we can on the "never just you" line especially, so if you don't sing any other line, I'd ask you to please contribute to that one.
~ We'll need multiple people singing the "boom de yada" choruses, and if any contributor could do the whole four times we'd appreciate it.
~ There's a little "ahh ahh, ahh ahh" bit in the background starting with the third verse, only for ours, it's gonna be "LAAAAAAAAAANNDD, LIIIIIEEEFEEELLLD", and we're gonna need a few people on that ([personal profile] foxhack, i'm looking at you!)
~ I'm not against double-booking certain lines if there's strong interest expressed in them!

But wait, there's more! Once the song's done, we're gonna put together our own video on Youtube, but we need pictures for it. If you have something you think is particularly appropriate for any given line, post it here and we'll see if we can work it in. We want to make this as community-oriented as we can to show how much we all love this place! [personal profile] bluefall adds: "Just to be clear, y'all, when Rocky says "pictures," he means "appropriate scans" and/or "comics related silliness." Stuff you might find around S_D. Like for "I like the kids' stuff" line, we're looking more at good panels from Spidey Super Stories or small children cosplaying as Cap, rather than like, a Toys'R'Us storefront, frex."

If you need a few examples to get you on rhythm, I've gone ahead and prepared these:
~ Piano accompaniment, just a few bars to get you a sense of rhythm
~ "LAAAAAAAAAAAAANNDD, LIIIIIEEEFEEELLLD", so you can hear what I'm looking for there
~ The third verse, to give you a general idea
~ The original song

Oh! And as [personal profile] mad pointed out, Audacity is a great program for recording if you need one, it even lets you save .mp3s!

So what have you got for me, Scans_Daily?

Oh! Also, if anyone needs a program to record their voice Audacity is free and will convert things to .mp3 format.

That should be good for context free or absurd porn.

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee163/aaron_boruque/robinjasontodd1.jpg

Crossdressing, maybe?

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee163/aaron_boruque/whyyoushouldlovezot.jpg

Should be okay for silly crack, or maybe kid's stuff, even though Zot! really isn't kid's stuff . . .

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee163/aaron_boruque/mychildhoodisraped.jpg

This could be used for kid's stuff, too. Soundtrack/visuals dissonance should never be underestimated.

Bat-dickery!

Cross-dressing.

Kid's stuff.

Almost any panel from these two pages would be great for multiverse.

Also, multiverse.

I also have stuff from Uncle Scrooge (Rosa and Barks) and the DCAU for kid's stuff.

Hmm? Followed links are a different colour. Maybe not the way the comm is set up, but in others (like mine, for instance)...in fact, there's an option to append the number of replies to links, so that they change back to 'unread' if there are new comments since you last read.

What key and version of the song are you going for?
sethgray: (Default)

[personal profile] sethgray 2009-11-17 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Version meaning which melody of this song you're using, some versions go higher than others in the high parts.

But yeah, that recording did clear up some of that.
thehefner: (Default)

[personal profile] thehefner 2009-11-17 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
So we're each calling a line to record for an audio version, is that the idea?

If so, can I call "And all its silly crack!"

I'm gonna see if I can do this with my iPhone's voice memos app.

"Multiverse" also seems like a good line to double up on.

[personal profile] bluefall 2009-11-18 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we can move the lyric, it's not a rhyme-line. Might be a good switch with "kids' stuff," since that would balance out the Big-Two-to-non-mainstream ratio in both stanzas.
thehefner: (Default)

[personal profile] thehefner 2009-11-17 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Sure thing! When do you need it by? Asap? I won't be able to get on that till tomorrow afternoon at soonest.

[personal profile] mad 2009-11-17 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
If we're doubling up on a few lines, it suddenly occurs to me that maybe we should ask [personal profile] nevermore999 if she wants to sing the girl robins bit, seeing as she's our resident Stephanie Brown expert.

Do we have a deadline or something? Because I'd really like to participate, but I don't have anything to record my voice (which, by the way, singing sounds horrible XP), and I don't know when i'll get my microphone again (if I'm lucky, maybe after this weekend, but still)
aeolos_sakya: Aeolos Sakya (Default)

[personal profile] aeolos_sakya 2009-11-17 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!
It seems that most of the lines are already taken, (besides of the obvious "it's never just you", which of course I'll do :D), but if you need another line, I'l gladly do it :)

[personal profile] bluefall 2009-11-17 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
You know what we need?

We need fanart of Carrie Kelly and Steph breaking heads together. We definitely need that.

Oh, and the futanari Supergirl for "when porn's absurd." We've seen worse, sure, but I'm not sure we've ever had a more absurd contribution.

It's been "silly crack"/"happy place" since I made the first icon, as far as I know.

If we want the video on Youtube, we'll have to reign images in a little more than that.

This is why God made censor bars. ~.^

Oh! And for "kid's stuff?" Captain Raptor. You MUST. It is a children's comic/picture book with DINOSAURS in a ROCKET SHIP and ergo it is everything good and right in the world! You could use this scan, or the official website has some other images you could use instead. The cover is nice. Or the double page spread of our heroes battling Robokron the giant robot space plesiosaur oh god I loved this book.

[personal profile] liara_shadowsong 2009-11-17 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Do you still need more people to sing the "I love Scans_Daily" lines when they appear? Also... do you have a way of combining files from many people singing the "where it's never just you" line? Because I'd be happy to contribute to that one instead/also, if so. Guarantee I can get the recording to work; I recently recorded an entire half hour conversation for a friend's linguistics course on my laptop and transfered it to mp3 format for her to transcribe from without a hitch, so a line or two of singing is easy.

[personal profile] liara_shadowsong 2009-11-19 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok! I'll record an "I love Scans_Daily" line in the next few days and email it as an mp3. While I'm at it, I can also make a "never just you" clip, and perhaps a "boom de yada" one... just in case, to make sure there isn't a lack of those.

It is a precious precious possession. Some recipes are actually pretty good, and some are along the lines of:
buy cake mix
follow instructions on box
add icing and perhaps a fruit slice
NOW YOU ARE EATING LIKE IRON MAN!

I shall try to grab some time with the scanner tomorrah (off to bed right now)! It's definitely worth sharing here.
