Transforumed, but I figure people here are much more likely to post.

1) Register at SingShot.

2) Get a computer mic.

3) Record something!

4) Post a link! I'll try to keep tabs on submissions and organize them up top.

Okay, if no one dares to post first, I'll do it.

Warning: I'm singing extremely quietly so as to not disturb my flatmate in the next room.

Oh, man, Emma is going to LOVE this. They have all her favorites. [Big Grin]

Celaeno, I liked it! [Smile]

I will see if I can find my mic.

Hey, that was damned good Celaeno. You should rerecord it later, louder. You have a clean tone.

Now you should both post something, so I'm not up here all alone.

Well, I just ordered a new mic (same kind I had before, I liked it) from Amazon. I had a $10 gift certificate so it only cost me $1.50. But it won't be here for a little while.

Dumb cat.

Unless it was the toddler pulling on it that broke it, in which case I apologize to the cat.

I did register, though, and am practicing. As soon as I get my new mic I'll post. [Smile]

Also, their "world/reggae" section is LAME! Not even any Shakira!

You can get a mic from pretty much any electronics store: Radioshack, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.

In other news, come on, someone has to try this!

Celaeno, the juxtaposition of your photo with the blurb under it is hilarious. I can't listen to stuff on the site from work, but I'm looking forward to hearing everybody's stuff (because by the time I get home there will be loads of submissions, of course) tonight.

I bet if you changed the title more people would do it.

And like I said, I need a mic, which should get here about next week.

Why don't you do it?

YES.

Eros, why don't you post yours?

I think he's afraid if he posts his, everyone else is going to be too intimidated to try it themselves. [Wink]

I'm totally interested, and plan on submitting.

But there is no force on earth that will get me to submit anything while anyone else is in the house, including my dog, who is the family's loudest critic.

Annie, there IS some Shakira on there, I saw it yesterday when I was browsing. The only song they have is "Underneath Your Clothes."

Sadly, there is no Gary Jules, Dave Matthews, Les Miserables or 1776, all the stuff I like to sing along with in my car the most. I suppose I'll find something though. Tomorrow when I get home from work I'll have an empty house and I'll record something. We had something like this awhile back, though it was the Hatrack Acapella thread (which I believe I broke through inaction, sorry guys!). This should be cool. I know there are some good singers on this thread, (ahem, RAIA!).

A lot of the songs are in strange categories-- "Molly Malone" in "Christian", for example. I recommend searching and/or browsing all the categories or artists, it's apt to turn up something you didn't expect. (The first one I'm going to do is "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands"-- but I'm not using their lyrics, I'm using the ones I always sing. [Razz] )

Hrm, the internet kinda takes away the whole drunk and peer pressure angle.

I should just post my best version of Sweet Child O' Mine by GunsNRoses, as accompanied by my banjo. Before I learned how to play the banjo.

Then no one can be embarrassed ever again. [Smile]

I might give this a shot, if I can get my mic to work. Currently, it won't let me listen to anyone's songs. It just says, "Loading song, please wait..." forever [Frown]

It did that to me earlier. Try closing the window, waiting a minute, and opening it in a new window again.

Lyrhawn & ketchupqueen,
Thanks for the kind words. [Smile]

I've also been having a few problems with the site; internal errors and the like, mostly when I've tried to update my profile or save a song. Waiting a few minutes and resubmitting has generally worked for me.

Thanks Lyr, Kqueen.

MC, the site has a lot of random problems, mostly because I don't think they were ready to get as popular as they're getting!

Hmm. If I sing in time with the music during the recording, I come out a half beat ahead of the music during the review. I'll have to play with it later.

Don't use the review button, it's often bugged. If you just save the recording (privately if you don't want people to hear it yet!), you can listen to it properly that way.

Bad Company? (nope, nevermind)

Cheap Trick?

Iggy Pop?

Ramones?

The Clash?

The Kinks?

Then there's the crap...

Blink 182

Sum 41

And there were several bands that border on punk, but are more metal so not worth mentioning.

Someone doesn't know if it's punk and put a question mark after it. I don't think I've ever heard a BC song, and for some reason just catagorized it as punk in my head. Google has confirmed my error.

well, I'm pretty sure Alan Jackson did a cover of it, but yeah, that's Bad Company.

Sorry, an Iggy Pop/Kate Pierson (of B-52s fame) song is not exactly a lot of punk. Yeah, they have the Clash and the Ramones, but where is Bad Religion, Pennywise, and others.

Bad Religion is one of the best bands EVER. More people should listen.
