scans_dailyWhat ho, Scans_Daily!
Maybe you saw it a few months ago whenbluefall 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 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 (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!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 asmad 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?

This is why God made censor bars. ~.^
