But I can't decide which version. Do I want a personal trainer or <cough> a dealer??? I wrote this last century hence the reference to Blink 182. Rashelle, from 2 sexy for me was staying and so we had MTV or VH1 permanently on the TV and the difference in the videos gave me the idea. I recorded the vocal in one take having practised breathing at the right time for the fast bits. "fags" is the British slang for cigarettes by the way I wanna be in a boyband I wanna get to Number One I wanna look like its all bin fun I want all the world to know what I eat to answer those questions on MTV I want to sing in the pouring rain 'n be in love and look like I'm in pain Look sincere and hold out my hand I want to be in a boy band I wanna be tattooed from head to toe holes in places where the holes don't go I wanna strut around fully dressed in mud cut myself and see my blood I wanna be in a boy band girls play my records thro out the land wanna run round in the nude Just like Blink 182 Gonna learn the craft of life forget being normal this is the after life Wot I earn in 50 years they earn in one that to me 'sgotta be the one Jump up and down pullin faces Driving fast cars in stupid places Wanna get a sponsorship from Paul Reed Smith Give up fags and smoke only spliffs Don't sell out gonna write my songs Not a pop idol but it won't take long Fat greysuits take care of it all jump in the air 'n grab my balls I wanna be in a boy band girls play my records thro the land I wanna run round in the nude Just like Blink 182 wanna be tattooed from head to toe holes in places where holes don't go I wanna strut around fully dressed in mud` cut myself and see my blood I wanna be in a boy band girls play my records thro out the land Ah wanna run round in the nude Just like Blink 182 Wanna get to Number One Ah wanna look its all bin fun Want to wun around in the nude Just like Blink 182 **** Song Summary ********* Title: PUNK Style is BLINK_1.STY (Blink 1 - Top 40 Grunge) Style MIDI Instruments are : Muted Electric Guit (29), Overdrive Guitar (30), Distorted Rock Guit (31), Pad-Poly Synth (91), MIDI Drums :1 Standard Drum Kit (1) RealTracks in style: ~~362:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 900:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming FolkRockWaltz Ev 150 RealTracks in style: ~389:Bass, Electric, Metal Ev 165 RealTracks in style: ~392:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Metal Ev 165 RealTracks in song: 641:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockThrash Ev 085 (B:sync) RealDrums in Song: RockTexasBlues^01-a:Snare, Open HiHat , b:Snare, Crash Ride RealTracks in song: 640:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockThrash Ev 085 (A:16ths) and me on my Heritage Les Paul in the noisy bits. extra drums from Titanic Soundfont using the BIAB midi drum file because at a speed of 210 the snare hits of the Realdrums sounded dreadful.

I wanted the 2 halves to illustrate the 2 different genres and also possibly playable live. As each part was done in separate BIAB files, but with 2 instances of BIAB running it took a while to match them. I am glad you liked the fast bits, as they were my favourite part. Thanks for listening Alyn My showcase songs My story

Unbelievable you did it in one take. Very enjoyable listen. Guenter Thanks for listening Yes it was difficult singing the fast bits as I kept tripping on words and running out of breath So I learnt to take a sharp intake of breath at the end of the fast lines and put a red dot on the original lyric sheet to remind me I cursed the song many times as it sounded stilted and awful singing the lines until I messed up, then cutting and pasting the good bits and I began to hate the song Then as a last resort I gaffa taped a shortish stick to the mic stand so I'd stay in roughly the same position all the way through; took a deep breath and BINGO. I sung it to the midi version and enjoyed "Real-Trackin'" the song afterwards . I am so glad you enjoyed it!! Alyn My showcase songs My story

GREAT write and floyd has already mentioned our favorite line. Cool guitar and vocals indeed. This is a clinic in what can be done with BiaB -- very inventive. Superb!!!
