I couldn’t help but click on a tune called “Caesar Has No Shirt” . . . I was not disappointed. From a production standpoint . . . MAN, you’ve done an incredible job using the vocaloids. I’d be hard pressed to discern a difference from a “live” vocalist. Great mix and feel. Killer dance pop number (and love that guitar solo around 2:30).
All my best,
Deej Thanks Deej for your very positive feedback  Glad you clicked the tune  There's actually not much work needed with the synth voices, just give melody, enter the notes and let AI take care of the rest - maybe just some fine-tuning, at least with this kind of a straightforward song. Janne

this is a very unique song.
i gotta check out those synth vocals. solaria ? nice use of biab.
i really like the 'paceing' of the song.
sorry if you disagree but i feel this a very good 'party song'.
well done and catchy. lots of clever thinking you put into this imho.
happiness.
om Thanks om for your pleasant positive words  I don't disagree, you can freely party to it, with or without a shirt  Janne

Janne, you are a master of synth vocals! They sound real! Super groove, funny lyrics, and an outstanding mix.
Excellent song! Thanks Mario for your kind comment  I agree that those synth vocals sound real, too bad that now I'm tempted to use them all the time, because they sound much better than me, which couldn't be said about previous vocaloids. Janne

Excellent job, brilliant jab. The shirtless Caesar reminds me of that classic tale by Hans Christian Anderson. Thanks for the positive feedback  I didn't remember that classic tale, thanks for reminding, I could have used it as inspiration, my satire is quite lame compared to that... Janne

Janne, Satire with a killer beat-love this- the conception, write and production are creative and classy. Those synth voices are astonishing... hard to believe its as easy as you say to work with them. A very cool song!

Cool tune.... I think this would be a hit in the rooskie dance halls.....
Vlad prolly don't gonna like it though.

Love the satire in this song. Really great production and love the vocals.

Hi Janne ...
What an interesting song. And, great production. You sure know how to showcase the near-infinite capabilities of BIAB to match almost any musical project.
Very creative lyric - particularly for someone is not a native English speaker. Your talent mazes me every time I click onto one of your songs. Excellent!
Alan

Wow, Janne! I'm in. What a cool song. You're right, BiaB has so many choices and you made some excellent ones with this. The lyrics are so good. I'd like to hear what the synths would have thought about them. hehe Is it easy working with them? I definitely need a replacement for my songs. I tried and tried, but couldn't get the 191th Century composer. I'm better with the 17th. Anyway, back to this song. I really enjoy your mind and how it spills over your creative craft. Thanks Marty for your pleasant comment Mainly it is very easy to work with those synth voices, well there are always some glitches with certain phoneme combinations etc., but as a software programmer I'm used to solve such difficulties  Well, the composer is Alexander Borodin, and the melody is variation of Polovtsian Dances, with much faster tempo. I've heard it in a cartoon (Ren & Stimpy I think), that's why it got stuck in my head. Janne

This would be a perfect song for a Mel Brooks satirical movie. I kept picturing him and Harvey Korman doing scenes.  Kevin and Solaria sound good together again. “He dreams to be The Great we will know him as The Small” We couldn’t agree more. Very creative! Outstanding work with the synths. J&B PS Thanks for not mentioning his name! Thanks Janice and Bud for your sympathetic comment  Mel Brooks, yeah, I would also like to see such a movie, Blazing Saddles is one of my favorites  Janne

Brilliant song. Not my style, I must say; but that only goes to show how good it is, in that it pulled me in and I listened, entranced, despite any stylistic differences. The synth works perfectly, too - great harmonies :-)
Who's the 19th century composer? You've got me stumped, haha.
Well done. Thanks for your nice comment  Glad you listened despite your musical taste  As I mentioned to Marty, the composer is Alexander Borodin, but I won't blame you not knowing him, I had never heard of him until I found out who composed the melody I had heard on TV. Janne

This is one cool song. I'm bopping in my chair as I listen.
The AI voices sound great. Excellent song and production about he who will not be named.
