Boom-de-yada CC cover

If you haven't heard the boom-de-yada song yet, you should probably stop living under a rock. XD You can check it out at this link: The World Is Just Awesome

I think it would be a great idea if we did a cover of this song, with members of the creatures community singing about what they love to do in creatures games. Not only would this be pretty cool, it would also make a pretty awesome ending for the CCSF.

Step 1: Lyrics
Each person who wants to, submits one line about what they love about creatures or what they love doing while playing creatires. "I love _____".
Remember that the syllables have to add up. Also, I expect more submissions then available spots, so your submission is not gauranteed to make it into the final composition. If it does, you'll need to be able to ecord yourself singing.
There are three sections, each sections has four "I love ____" lines, one "I love the CC" line, another line, which is apromiately 6 syllables, and four 'boom-de-yadas'. At the end of the song, there is 8 more 'boom-de-yadas'.
NOTICE: Before you submit a line, please count the syllables in it. The ideal number of syllables is 6. If you fall short, or have one too many, please try to adjust your lines. If you can't get it to exactly 6, 5 or 7 will likely do, but please try to get it as close to 6 as possible.

Step 2: Composing
Once all the lines are compiled, they will be made available for everyone to copy, print, etc.
If your line makes it into the lyrics, you'll need to record yourself singing your line and anything with 'ALL:' infront of it. Do not include the instrumental in your recording. Listen to the instrumental in headphones, earphone, earbuds, etc., and record yourself singing along. There might be a karaoke video to sing along with, we'll see.
TIP: For recording, I recommend you make a pop filter, if you don't already have one. A pop filter is a screen between your mouth and the microphone. It helps keep the recording cleaner.
You can make one by taking a piece of thin fabric (such as used in pantyhose) and strecthing it over a frame of some kind. A cross-stiching hoop would work well. After it's done, simply hold it in front of the mic while recording (but make sure they don't touch).

The release date is the day the CCSF ends.
Submit your lines and spread the word!

Sounds really fun, Rain :D
How do we submit lyrics etc.? Do we just post them in forum replies, or would you prefer something else?

I think forum replies would be a good idea. :)

I love ettin thieves.

By the way, I don't care if anyone steals my ideas for their own work, as long as you don't try to stop me from making my own stuff. Many ideas I mention are things I don't have the time or skill to actually do.

Ettina, is is possible for you to add another syllable to your entry? You don't have to, but I'd like it if you could.

Actually, nevermind Ettina. The syllable count is fine.

...... I love stupidity?

I feel that this would be especially effective accompanied by a clip of wall bonking.

Just so you guys know, I AM checking this thread frequently. And I need at least twelve people involved, so more submissions would be nice. :)

Alternate lines:

I love the CAOS
And all the change it brings!

You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there.

It's always the hardest to come up with a short line like this! I also love way too much about Creatures. My line:

I love genetics!

And because I brainstormed, I figured out a few more that anyone else is more than welcome to use!

I love Creatures Caves
I love wolfing runs
I love Creatures 1/2/3
I love Docking Station
I love complexity (Lots of COBs/agents/CAOS)
I love simplicity (Vanilla worlds)
I love injecting COBs
I love the airlock
I love ecology
I love the submarine

I added a notice about syllable count. If you haven't submitted yet, or maybe if you have and want to change it appropriately, please take a few seconds to read the notice.

Also, if you change you line, please let me know, or I likely won't notice! Ideal methods are by posting and using the CC Chat to contact me. Don't PM me, I'll likely never see it. :P
