The Bay12 Holiday Carol (Let's make one!)
« on: December 12, 2014, 05:10:40 pm »

First of all, a very merry Mid-winter Happy Time to you all!

So, it's as the title says. Here's the rules:

1) We're going off "12 Days of Christmas", a cumulative song.
2) I'll start off by posting the first "day," the next poster then ads the second day, the one after, the third. Or, if you think you have a better version of that "day" in the song, post it. Or you could cover someone else's line if you think you can sing it better.
3) You must record yourself singing the line you've added, and hopefully the ones before your as well. (You can do seperate recordings for each line). Use vocaroo.com
4) At the end of it all, we'll decide on which lines are best written/sung, then I'll composite them all together into one song.
5) Don't worry about your singing voice or your songwriting, let's just see what you can come up with!

Sounds fun? Any questions? Let's get started!

On the First day of Dwarfmas, the Forum gave to me: An Awesomely Insane Community!

*Ponders whether it would be in bad taste to add a line about myself*
This is the Forum games section after all.


On the Second day of Dwarfmas, the Forum gave to me:
Two cats a breeding,
And An Awesomely Insane Community!


(You got too many syllables in that day one there @.@)

(Better than too few syllables. My worst singing is when I stretch those out to fill gaps.)
(These parodies often seem to add several syllables on the 1st and 5th lines, anyway.)

Will add the sung part when the people go to sleep/away.

My second turn's unnoficial goal was to turn everyone into vampires, and it backfired so bad, I ended up making the fort a more efficient, safer and friendlier place.

I think a few words may have become garbled somewhere. (Drawfmas?)

Good. Thank you. :) Should I fix it or sing it that way?

Funny as it would be, it would kind of ruin the intent to have this become a game of telephone.

The line doesn't count unless someone sings it. Also, bear in mind the 5th one is the drawn out one, so something with an emphasis would be good.
