If you have an MP3 sharing utility, see if you can find a version of Stand done by Tony Martin on D-Generation's The Late Show, an Australian sketch comedy TV show in the early nineties. He introduces it with something to the effect of "Michael Stipe... what is he on about? I reckon he could write just about anything..." and proceeds to performit with some alternative lyrics. Very funny gibberish.
I can't remember all of them, but it starts:
Stand on your head in the sink,
Now face west,
Sing the Lord's Prayer while you force a strawb'ry slurpee up your nose.
Set your trousers on fire,
Now face north,
Buy twelve safari suits and wonder why you haven't before.
As for collaboration, we face the sames problems I have with my musical Scottish friend. If we do it on four-track, we have to keep posting the same tape back and forth. If we want to do it digitally, we need to get hold of suitable software, and then we will be shooting huge raw audio files back and forth.
Still... I'm up for it. :)
Oh, and as for parts, I was planning to either do them all myself in mutiple takes or get Bec to do some high stuff (she sings too - very pretty soprano, clear as a bell when she's been practicing).
My main problem is that, while I am reasonably good on piano/keyboard and have basic guitar skills, I have no piano, but have a guitar.
