Major Meme Song in RBN

[ChaosCharza]

Ok, might as well come out and say it:

I'm developing a song for the RBN that 4chan should be all over by the time this is posted. I feel as though I need some incentive and pressure to release this, so I've decided to formally announce it:


I contacted an Australian Artist named Morbicae back last year when the service was announced, and I've negotiated to release his song, Shoop Da Whoop (I'ma Firin Mah Lazor) on RBN for download.

I was inspired by a forum post about this song being made into a free song for release, and by the time that RBN was announced, I knew that this would be a perfect fit. He then re-recorded his song specifically for production in the RBN, and I began my work.

Now, I hope to release it by summer if given enough time between my college classes to chart it. I also need to get a full XNA premium membership, as I only have a student trial obtained from DreamSpark (it should be no problem; I'm planning on buying a 6-month package by April). What I need from the community is your support to invest my time to release this. I want to raise awareness so that Morbicae can see that this investment will pay off. I hope to charge 80 msp with all proceeds going to him.

So, I am aware that I've opened a can of worms in releasing this info, but I know that this will pump up support for the RBN in the Meme community.

Cheers,
ChaosCharza

A song about a meme based on blackface imagery?

The note count better be over 9000.

Actually, I plan on having the Vocal Track be epic. The master being used for release has some insane jumps I hope to preserve. Sadly, I predict that there will be no Big Rock Ending as (the ending) doesn't merit it.

haha yes, awesome! good luck with the charting

Came into the thread expecting Rick Astley. Left disappointed.

Also you broke Rules 1 & 2.

Crap! Your Right, Ozone. I am hoping to bring this to the RBN, But no promises (especially since I haven't joined XNA Officially). Terribly Sorry. All I wish to convey is that I have negotiated to try to bring it to RBN. I made sure to tell him that I was an independent, "college student and Rock Band enthusiast". I understand why this is so important, and made sure to refer to Harmonix in my email as a separate entity.

I'm sorry if this confuses anyone. Am I still in the hot seat?

Is there an MP3 of this song available for early listening and/or for my iPod?

[ChaosCharza]

For the original version? Yes. Look it up online. You can easily listen to it on Morbicae's MySpace. Be forewarned, though: the version that he gave me to implement is a Rock Band exclusive and slightly different (like other Re-Recordings for RB). The intro is shorter and it as a whole sounds far more professional in my opinion.
