Why, may you ask? I wrote parody lyrics entitled "Semen of the Fall" and I want to send my completed work to Mikael Akerfeldt and he will, in turn, make babies with me. Anyone have one, or know where I can get one?

Uhm...God I hate to say this...I recorded an instrumental version of it a while ago...it sounds pretty horrible to me (i could probably re-mix it and use Addictive Drums and make it better in about an hour tops)

But the real question is...do I want Nathan making a parody of one of my favorite songs with something I recorded?

Yes, it would be your penance for recording a pretty horrible cover version of one of your favourite songs in the first place.

Besides you will be helping to facilitate Nathan's art, which will give you a warm fuzzy feeling.

Eh, by horrible I meant the levels were low, it's quiet and the drums sound bad(typical EZdrummer bullshit)

Yeah yeah, now you start with the excuses.

Well sorry mr. "I was a professional musician"! I'm not at the moment!

So, you going to let Nathan loose on it or no?

Probably not. Though when I saw the thread title I thought it might have been for something better...

Dude, how would you feel if I had the cure for AIDS right now, and you had AIDS? You would want me to give it to you, right? Well how would you feel if I didn't wanna give you the cure because I knew you were just going to make a half assed parody of it? Because that's exactly how I feel.

Look man, I don't give a flying fuck about the quality of the drums, I'm just glad it's not terrible beatboxing because if I tried to record the song myself, that's what the drums would be. By giving me this audio file you are participating in something truly special, a collaboration between two strangers over the internet! It's like if me and you were both blindfolded and naked...no, bad analogy. If you want, I can do two versions, or something. I just really, really want you to give it to me. I will do anything you wish, unless said wish is me:

1. Leaving the forums
2. Changing my avatar
3. Not recording it
4. Not posting naked pictures of myself
5. Destroying my computer
6. Washing my hair
7. Doing laundry
8. Any thing that involves work, really

So what do you say, Mr. T? Will you give me your instrumental version of DOTF in turn for my undying affection and erection? I really hope you should say yes. Say yes! You know what you should say? Yes. Hey, I have a riddle. What rhymes with Bess? YES!

Oh, and so you know what I would use your blood, sweat, and semen (of the fall) for, this is the first verse:

"Silent dance with breasts
Your panties are gone
Torn in the heat of passion"

SHALLOW
SHALLOW
GIVE IT TO ME
GIVE IT TO ME
SCISSORS CUTTING OUT YOUR ANGER

That's a pretty compelling argument right there.

Man, I keep meaning to make an Amon Amarth parody called Guardians of Assguard, but I'm too lazy to do an actual cover.

Alright Nathan, you win. It will be re-mixed tonight to sound a little better and then we will be fucking famous, k?

Your magnanimity already makes you legendary on here, dude. Greater love hath no man than to lay down an Opeth cover for a friend.

Ok it's done...It sounds way better with slight level readjustments and Addictive Drums instead of Ezdrummer.

Also the "Demon of the fall" part has ludicrously fast double kick to add to the whole parody element...(really the midi I had just had ridiculously fast double kick there and I didnt want to mess with it too much.)

I'll upload a .wav of it for you tonight Nathan.

Holy shit dude, thank you so much! You will not be dissapointed. Actually you most likely will. Whatever.
