Subject: Masks Off! (M&P Revealed!)

Written By: Meriadoc on 08/02/04 at 12:25 am

Finally! - that big moment that all Amirighters have been waiting for!

The Merry and Pippin Revelation!  :o

Well, partial revelation anyway - you still won't know who we are but there will be a general genderfication...  ;)

We have placed three of our songs on Soundclick.com:

"It's a Folding Chair" - featuring both hobbits on the chorus, with a backing track kindly provided by Rick D. (This one recorded kind of quiet, so turn your volume all the way up!)  :)

"Sh*tty Flamingos" - a one hobbit vocal, sort of dubbed over the OS

and

"Letter B" - also a one hobbit vocal with some very entertaining scat singing. Don't miss it!  ;D


The URL is: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/7/merryandpippinmusic.htm


I believe you have to go to the Soundclick.com home page first and sign up as a listener (free and with no strings attached), then you can download the song to a temp file by choosing 'lo-fi' and listen in Winamp or Real Player. Once you have listened, please be so kind as to vote ("hot/flop") and leave a comment ("discuss").

Note that Ethan (under "Ethan Mawyer") and Rick & Mari (under MAD and RAD) also have songs at Soundclick! Please check them all out!

Arwen, what part isn't working for you?  Maybe Merry or I can help?

Or do you mean the singing doesn't sound right?  If that's the case, NO !  That's the way it is!  ;D

Well, I did the whole sign up thing...got my username/account (which was annoying enough, as "Arwen" was already taken)...but then when I went to listen to your stuff...it just wouldn't connect to it...it kept just saying "connecting" at the bottom of my player...and finally it would time out.


Hmph!!  >:( :\'( >:(

Well, you guys (and I mean that in the non-gender-specific sense) had me fooled...

Glad you found a way through the mud, Mer and Pip. If you are ever out toward our neck of the woods, we'll do something more pro in our real studio. If you guys want to hear a hilarious song that has nothing to do with Amiright, but is on Soundclick go down the top 100 comedy songs chart and listen to the Worm Quartette's "Great Idea For A Song" (it's at 21 right now) Boy, is that funny. You can vote on that site as well and make recordings ride the wave. I notice Ethan's  "K-Mart is up there. "Media Celebrity" was on for a while, but seems to have sunk. Maybe we can kick each others' back up the chart.

Yeah, me neither, Luke...but then I HAD to find a way to show exactly how excited I was...so I fiddled.  Yes I did.

Thanks to everyone who listened and voted. I have uploaded two more songs "Menstruental Friend" and "Predatory Man" and by the end of the day should have two or three more up, including one of me attempting to warble off key to "Peeled at a Bris." ::)

And Rick and Ethan - i listened to a few more of yours and gave them a vote. :)

I finally checked it out !  What clever little Hobbits you are ! Very impressive !  Pippin's 'Turning Siamese' is hysterical....as is 'Letter B' ! ;D 

Merry, I loved your 'Peeled At A Bris'. Damnit ! I thought they were all brilliant. :D

Congratulations on putting them to music. Your lyrics translated perfectly IMO ! :)

Hope you don't mind if I do a little downloading ?! ;)

Very nice!  I've listened to only one so far... I have to be somewhere in a few minutes, so I was just going to call up the page and come back later, but I couldn't resist listening to "It's a Folding Chair."  Your voices sound good together. ;)
