Re: Gender Wars Singing Challenge



Here we go! Boys of Zelda by me on voice and guitar

It's terrible quality, I apologise, my brother decided to take the good microphone on holiday (vacation) with him for some reason. I compensated by singing quieter so the mic didn't o.d., so you can at least understand the lyrics and hear the guitar, even if at times it's like it's underwater!

GO LADS!!!

(P.S.: Here it is on NG, once it gets approved: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/260865)

Re: Gender Wars Singing Challenge

My entry is sort of in tandem with a video that has been seen by many people.

If you've seen this vid already, then go ahead and skip it and listen to my song. If not, watch the vid, it's a hilarious waste of 5 minutes, and my song will sound extremely creepy without watching it first:

Now here's the song:

I apologize for the poor listening quality.

Now, it's a day late SORRY! I had a really bad experience with everclear, and a cold, and... lets just say I am still hungover from 3 days ago.

Still, maybe even though the voice sucks, we men can appreciate are vast superiority with this wonderful tune.

I already have ideas brewing for next years competition and I will need to remind myself to record it when I am sober! =)

Re: Gender Wars Singing Challenge

It's late. I'll post it up top so everyone can listen to it, but it will not be marked.

Anime_Queen, you be nice to him. You do understand that it's not being marked because I wanted to be a fair sport, right?

I know this is the wrong spot to continue this discussion but... I must say letting me compete in anything against women is completely unfair for them. I totally understand the reasoning behind it.

With that, I run away. Lads, you better not let me feel bad for this.

Re: Gender Wars Singing Challenge

Hey, everyone!

First off, thanks for allowing me an extension. For those of you who didn't know why, I was moving out of my apartment on the due date and was in the process of packing all week.

And now, here's my entry. It's based off of Jimmy Eat World's "Pain". Please ignore the guy singing in the background--I couldn't find a karaoke version and I couldn't remove the vocals, so I raised the volume on mine.

Enjoy The Lassies Will Unite!

Re: Gender Wars Singing Challenge

And that is the last of the subbmissions. Thank you for everyone who took the time to make a song. They're great, and good luck!

Could this please be locked now.
