Great lyrics, bad voice.
Author's Response:
At least I'm 1 for 2.
I agree that the singing was likely sub-par, however. I do not sing for a hobby, I voice act, but this parody did, in a minute sense, require singing.
Thanks for the review nonetheless!

Holy crap.
When I first heard this I thought "wtf" ......
...but then I stuck Loop on and have been listening to it for at least an hour now. Very catchy. Nice work, both of you. I hope to hear more stuff like this.

Catchy tune, I like it. It fits the setting you described very well and would probably go well in a flash with that kind of atmosphere. For some reason it reminds me of Weebls-Stuff (google it if you don't know what it is) cartoons. Which is a good thing to some, but bad to others. In my case I think it's good :P
The only 'niggles' I have with it are:
- when the bass is introduced, there is barely any change in the melody. A change of key would have sounded awesome. (This is where I would otherwise have voted 9 for diversity rather than 8).
- the reverberated synth is a bit too obtrusive IMO, maybe just slightly too loud. (Just shy of scoring a 9 for clarity but this stopped me.)
Those things aside, you made quite a tune here, and you obviously have a nice collection of samples. Keep up the good work!
Au revoir.

Thanks for review. Hmm well a bunch of people telling me keep the same base line and another bunch of people telling me to change the base line (the melody). AHHH!!! What do I do. I can't satisfy both sides. I failed :) Anyway, the notes are changing throughout the entire song. I compose my own music so I know what I'm playing on the keyboard. Maybe I used that 1 same synth too many times in the song that it gave the illusion the tune was the same. Hey that matches...carnaval is a place of illusion. Sweet I should get bonus marks for that creativity. :) Be sure to see some more reviews by me on your songs. Hopefully you wore HEADPHONES!!!SOUNDS MUCH BETTER WITH HEADPHONES ON :) ALL NEXT REVIEWERS WEAR YOUR HEADPHONES WHEN LISTENING TO THIS SONG. okay bye for now

I quite like this, only things I dislike are:
- bass is a little too heavy (may be because of my speakers though)
- you got some reverb in places, sounds good but doesn't hold true to the original
On the contrary.... it's as catchy as the original, and fun to hear WITHOUT the gaybo lyrics :P
Good job.
Author's Response:
Thx for the comment, yea I figured it was time for the song without those lyrics that would creep anyone out. As for the bass, I'll try to fix that. Reverb is from a complex MIDI to MP3 process (I'm still working out the bugs)

I gave you high ratings on the basis that this is your own work...
...but I'm a little skeptical. Few artists take a whole year to assemble a song - a techno one at that, AND it's a remix, so plenty of the work is cut out for you - if you were truly dedicated enough to create something this funky, you wouldn't have taken 12 months to do it.
Anyway, this is a great piece, I like it a lot. Supposing this is genuinely your own stuff... I'll comment on the clarity of the samples you used. Some sound a little distorted, and the EQ isn't quite right in places, though I can understand how it can vary a lot depending on how the listener is... erm... listening :)
5/5, because even if it isn't yours.... it rocks anyway.

Judging from your profile I got a kind of gothy sense so I'm alittle surprised, yet very glad you liked it!

Pretty funny, I like it. Nice way to take the rip out of a tutor.
Two things though:
1) It isn't so easy to hear what you're saying
and
2) It's "You're all failing", not "Your all failing".

"OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG"
WOAH. I needed to hear that. It's just GREAT. One of my personal favourites... but if I was to comment on any part of it I didn't like..... I wouldn't be able to cos there's nothing wrong with it.
Heh, but seriously, the only 'problem' I can find is that the snare rolls don't have enough reverb. They sound slightly out of place in comparison to the other instruments. Although, that's nit-picking, and it hardly damaged the overall quality or anything.
Bottom line is, "It's bloody brilliant, 5/5, 10/10"
