Take a mainstream artist and chipmunk them

I love those crazy woodland critters that can sing better than me. I have listened to many songs that have been chipmunk-ed. So I was highly excited to see this assignment. In Audacity, I changed the pitch of the song and voilà! I was done.

I love so many songs and couldn’t think of just one to chipmunk. Eventually, after careful consideration, I chose You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon. Everything about it was just perfect for this assignment. Even if the singing is high-pitched, this song is still a favorite of mine.

I chose to do a Rihanna Chipmunk version. Yes, I LOVE Rihanna to bits, and I know all of her songs One of her songs I love the most is “Only Girl (In the World).” This song is very upbeat and a lot of people know it very well. Along with that, I knew that the chipmunk version would sound great to this song.

It was very easy and fun to do. I just opened the song on Windows Media player, clicked EDIT, and changed the pitch. I made the pitch very high, and it turned into “chipmunk” mode. I didn’t know how to upload that to my blog, so that is why I chose to upload it on SoundCloud. I hope you enjoy it!

This right here is the original song…

This is the Chipmunk version that I did ….

Take six very short fragments from six different songs and ensemble them into a single piece.

 

To start off in Audio, I decided on the “Contest that nobody could win.” I love guessing games and especially musical guessing games. I clipped sections out of six songs and mashed them together in Audacity, which, is quickly becoming my favorite program on my computer.

Saying nobody could win seemed harsh to me, but I was so lost in which six seconds and which six songs to choose. Eventually, I scrolled through iTunes and saw a clump of songs by the same artist. I loved each song individually and decided, why not? So, guessing will be easy and there really isn’t a specific phrase it spells out. The only theme in this mashup, other than the artist, is the sections of song all (sort of) have a pronoun.

In my family, writing well is very important. Any piece of paper, text, email, or dialogue should be grammatically correct or else… I always liked pronouns. They are very social parts of speech. Pronouns remind us of someone or a group. He, She, We, They, even It all evoke an image in our heads. Pronouns are important and should not be ignored, but they are often taken for granted.
