This is just gorgeous. I’m really impressed. The backing vocals are just dynamite. You did a really good thing here. I think this approach is very winning and lovable.
Congratulations.

Glad y’all liked it. Conceived it in my car during my commutes last week. I’ve written quite a few songs lately - I’ll post some ‘pellas soon (thanks for asking!). Yes, there are production issues I didn’t have time to fix (the clipping on the "answer" backups & the occasional out-of-tune-or-time note on the Cookie Monster bass line). I’m still learning production - and still learning to be effective using FL’s audio interface (it’s not the most straight-forward out there - still may get N-Track & use rewire). I think the clipping/distortion issues are part level setting issues during recording, part Audacity mixer ;), part medioce effects (pitch/time shift) on a couple things, and part inexperience at mixing/mastering on my part. I’m planning to find ways to address all those things as I continue to learn. thx for listening (esp Lisa - your note made my weekend!) —Chris

Man. Where do you live? If this one kicks me out of the top ten I’ll come and get you!
Dont worry be happy: Great arrangement! And delighting falsetto singing, really reminds me of BMcF.

Heyall,

Thanks for the kind comments; I had a lot of fun doing this one.

Thomas, I’m in Stillwater, Minnesota, USA (near Minneapolis / St. Paul). I think you have no worries re: the top 10; you’re arrangement is pretty brilliant. I’m still going to try that sometime. BTW - What tool(s) do you use on a project like that?

Nice vocals. Maybe you should post a few pellas on the site. Very nice voice.
