By request, I’ve covered Pokerface by Lady Gaga! (As an interesting side note, prior to her Lady Gaga days, she was a singer/songwriter. Quite an interesting musical turnaround.) Furthermore, I’m not the first to do a spoken word version of the song; Christopher Walken did a reading of part of the song, which is also definitely worth a listen.
Anyway, without further historical context, here it is, complete with an orchestral backing track!
So, have you ever listened to William Shatner’s spoken-word interpretations of various songs? If you haven’t, I highly recommend checking out his cover of Common People, originally by Pulp. Don’t even bother listening to the original; it’s got nothing on Shatner’s. No, really.
Many of today’s pop songs, however, have not been (and probably never will be) covered by Shatner. As such, there is a decided lack of spoken-word interpretations of modern pop music. However…that’s all about to change.
It is with this in mind that I would like to present, for your review, this preview track from my upcoming “album” Transformed Pop. Here we have a version of Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold”, as interpreted by me. Beethoven must be spinning in his grave.
The custom style sheet for the K2 Wordpress theme used at this site, 1:40am, has been updated once again, this time to add compatibility with K2 1.0. Admittedly, K2 1.0 isn’t as good looking as it was in the RC days, I think, but nonetheless upgrading is necessary…FOR PROGRESS!
In Spring 2009, I took a class on video game design at whatever college I went to! For my group’s game concept, we came up with TCNJ RPG, the RPG where you play as a student! Unfortunately, due to a variety of factors (including, but not limited to, the lack of time, the fact that the class’s teacher proved to have a knack for getting hung up on largely irrelevant issues while ignoring things like keeping the project on schedule, and that the class was forced to use a toolkit that proved not at all suitable for complex games), the game was never finished!
That said, I did manage to compose quite a few songs for it, all of which solely use the Setzer SPC soundfont, giving them that SNES sound that is so popular nowadays. So here they are!
