Spoiler:  Dramatic Song Lyrics • show

Have some copypasta.

LYRICS:

This song sounds dramatic
but I'm bad at writing words.
If you don't speak English,
this probably sounds pretty good.

You'd probably think I'm singing
bout some pretty serious stuff.
But in reality, I'm singing 'bout
the lack of stuff i'm singing 'bout.

This part's intense.
And emotional.
As long as you don't understand it.

Your foreign grandma
would love this song.

Please send it to her,
and she'll probably tell her
foreign friends about the song her
grandson or daughter sent her today.

This song might hit the charts in her country
if parts sounded like Coldplay.

If the chorus sounds like Coldplay.

Then I put some 'La-La-La's in there.
La la la la la,
la la la la la la la (Coldplay)

Hopefully your foreign grandma
listens to this song everyday.
And if she asks you to
translate the lyrics, here's what you say:

"A perfect translation does not exist.
Well, at least, not in your language.
But if you must know, well, picture this:
Fifty billion rainbows,
and the sun is setting,
and the moon is setting, also,
and you're there in a gazebo.
And then God descends from heaven
and He gives you a million dollars.
Take that feeling,
and put it into a song.
I could translate word by word,
but that'd take too long.
And I've got stuff to do grandma.
I don't have time for this.
You've gotta trust me grandma,
this freakin' song is brilliant."

I'd like as many people as possible to sing this song. You can use SoundCloud to record your wonderful singing voice. Of course, I shall not sing because... my singing voice is allergic to microphones.

You should post the lyrics.. and maybe.. MAYBE..I will. 

[Fudgemuffin]

Updated the post for lyrics, muahhahhah!

[Tekner]

Well... I guess I'll be the first to take the dive. I got tired of retaking the recording, so I just stuck with this one.
"Coldplay" is now my least favorite word
Cover here.

Note: I am not a singer. Have earplugs on hand.

HOLY F...*looks out if SweBow's around*..duck!!
A couple of off-tunes when you were singing, but to be honest, it's incredibly good. You sound pretty similar to the original singer. However.... hmm.... 0:5X..... yea, thumbs up for effort 
But "coldplay" is almost impossible to sing perfectly with bass voice

Finally someone who understands! The only way I can hit that note without issues is by warming up for hours beforehand.
Please forgive me if I didn't feel up to it at 10 at night

So my pretties... Who's up for the challenge next?
Bum bum bum...

I gave up this challenge long ago...

[Tekner]

You can't just give up on a challenge like that. There's a reason it's called a challenge, duh! Just put yourself out there like I did. We're all among friends here. Besides, it's really fun to here others' voices online. Please!? Don't let me be the only one who tried, Pinkie.

[Ryo_D_Disk]

im going to have to ask where you got the background music because that would tempt me to do it even though i might have do it as Chaos again

[Tekner]

I made it myself. I took the song itself (audio ripped from YouTube) and applied phase cancelation to isolate and remove most of the vocals (you can still hear the reverb in the background if you listen.)

Google "YouTube 2 mp3" to get the song.
Next get an audio editor (I use Audacity.)
Open the mp3 and separate the stereo track into its channels.
Make them both mono.
Select the entirety of one of the channels and invert it.
Next import your vocals, or record on top of the mp3.

[Ryo_D_Disk]

hmm ill give it a shot although im not sure how to separate the channels although i do use audacity i tend to use it more for voice recording than audio editing

[Tekner]

Press the little arrow (I think it's an arrow) above the volume and mute controls to the left of a stereo track to open up the audio menu. About 2/3 down the bottom will be "Split Audio Track."

I'm 3000 miles from my house and computer, and will be until Wednesday, so I'm not going to be too useful until then. That's why I rushed my cover. I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything with it until Wednesday otherwise. Last resort: google "Phase cancelation in audacity."

When two sound waves with identical frequencies collide, they boost each other. But two identical frequencies on opposite sides of the wave's phase cancel each other out: Phase cancelation. Stereophonic tracks usually have panned (directional) instrumentals, but the vocals are mono. Thus vocals can be almost exclusively targeted by phase cancelation, but the instruments are left intact.

EY! Don't you be approving things in my name missy!
And I'm sorry Tekner, but I can deny a challenge, cuz, I do what I want.  I'm a Pinkie Pie.
I was going to try, but that song...is not pony...so I can't. Sorry. 

[Tekner]

You're "A" Pinkie Pie? There's more of you?

If you cant do it because it's not pony, then make it pony.
If you don't like that, then sing something else.
If you still don't like that, then you're just making up excuses.

How's it coming Ryo?
