here you go henny
QuoteYou know I don't know what's longer My attention span Or the life of a bubble Or the life of a bubble
I want it Right now Faster than the life of a bubble
I need it Right now Faster than the life of a bubble
You know I don't know what's more tenuous My fragile mind Or the life of a bubble Or the life of a bubble
I want it Right now Faster than the life of a bubble
I need it Right now Faster than the life of a bubble
Faster than the life of a bubble
I want it Right now Faster than the life of a bubble
I need it Right now Faster than the life of a bubble
You prick me I might just burst!

That's the mother of all bass lines! You gotta be quick off the mark on here to beat ORH to a vocal, lol. But as always, he dishes up a real quality addition.
There's a great, taut energy to this track. So flipping good.
Superior stuff.

Top quality as usual henwrench, that bass creates such a cool groove to this. Quite how vocals of this quality can be added so quickly is beyond me, unbelievably good.

Fantastic track Henny !!
Agree with Tim, that is a killer bassline .....

Very catchy tune guys. Great riff and vocals. That guitar sound is really tight Henny. I likey very much.
P.S. - I was gonna borrow a can of "pork 'n' beans" from Launched and go sit in my bathtub to see if I could come up with some lyrics for ya. Oh-well maybe next time. ;D

alright... I got something. kinda weird... I started writing in one mood, but the pure rock n roll'ness of Henny's track changed my mind on the tone I was shooting for. So I changed it. A bit cliche with some of the words, but I'll let you decide on that. ;) I did a remix and changed the mp3... **Another remix... Don't know why I having such a problem with this... :/
Life of a Bubble
Hanging over from another night of drinking and I don't know who's next to me
Making sure I never bother thinking so I float from place to place you see
I'm drifting away I'm drifting away This is the life of a bubble
I'm drifting away I'm drifting away This is the life of a bubble
I go where ever the wind takes me As long as I don't come back again
knowing only that I live to be free It doesn't matter who what or when
I'm drifting away I'm drifting away This is the life of a bubble
I'm drifting away I'm drifting away This is the life of a bubble
Be careful baby You don't want me to... POP I'm in a fragile state darlin Don't think I want you to stop It's all I have to give baby Spin you like a top
I'm drifting away I'm drifting away This is the life of a bubble
I'm drifting away I'm drifting away This is the life of a bubble
I'm drifting awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay This is the life of a bubble

I've been swamped by work and haven't been able to get on here much (well at all) recently. I just quickly jumped in to tale a look and saw this, and just had to listen. Only had time to hear the ORHenwrench version but it's a STUNNER! The guitar lines and the bass are fantastic, and Jim's vox are fantastic. Henny, the way you recorded those rhythm guitars is excellent, the production and sound here is fantastic. Really great track, will listen to the others if (when) I get a chance.
Did I say fantastic enough? Cos that's what it is.
Reminded me a tad of Love and Rockets if anything, but as usual it's a very unique and original piece of work.
Cheers,
Nigel

Now it's time to listen to the good takes...
Mark
Gone to get my blood from a stone Knock on the door but there's nobody home
Hit the street with my blueberry wine Feelin' heavy by quarter to nine
I know what you know and they know The life of a bubble now I go so slow, but the love flows My life is a bubble now
Ohhhhh :)
I'm so stupid - I know all I know Feelin' lonely but I'm fine on my own
See the people working their days Burning time in so many ways
I know what you know and they know The life of a bubble now I go so slow, but the love flows My life is a bubble now
Ahhhhh :)

It's like breakdancing competitions or something, you know 'Launched Vs Geir' HA HA HAAA ;D ;D
When they're all done, maybe do a poll to see which version gets on the next henwrench album, I couldn't choose, or stick 'em all on one CD maxi-single HA HA HAAAA ;D ;D

Title: licky frogs - vic dylan's take on the life of a bubble by henwrench
Post by: Oldrottenhead on May 27, 2010, 03:20:49 AM
Quotei was very very drunk last night and had a great idea (well it seemed it at the time). the idea was to do 7 different versions, all with different lyrics but in the singing style of different artists, artist with voices that are distinct and easily impersonated, dylan, bowie, peter gabriel, al jolson, tiny tim, coolio and sting.
this morning it doesnt seem such a good idea, my voice is like louis armstrongs and my brain hertz.
i was channeling vic reeves and bob dylan for this version. one down six to go.
Quotehey i heard there were monkeys and alligators too the llamas need some cheering up they both look rather blue
my packed lunch is lovely and tasty
the lettuce is crispy but moist
i was kissing the tigers and swimming with prawns there were frogs in the hot house i only licked one the man who took me home was nice
my packed lunch is lovely and tasty
the lettuce is crispy but moist
im gonna get me some of those frogs they were licky licky frogs

Thats an understatement. I have listened to all these posted so far and what great creative lyrics and vocals all around. Playing all the ORH ones back-to-back, its too much really, they sorta get progressively more out there as they come, it is like a strange trip into a strange land, utter mad brilliance. Sai and Mark are equally brilliant in their own very different ways. What a great experiment. I may try something myself this weekend time permitting.

yikes, there has been some wild partying going on here - the original "backing track" is a killer - but I think my brain might explode if I start listening to all the different takes....

The original track is just awesome as can be seen by all the great vox/lyrics put on top of it. Very very good stuff ya'll. I'm super impressed.

Just caught up with how this thread developed since I was off the site and I have to say it has to be the most mental thread on the site. Insane brilliance from Mark, Geir and Sai, and then Jim just disappearing into an ever increasing spiral of lunacy. His takes just get funnier and funnier (and ruder!), so much imagination. Brilliant thread everyone!
Cheers,
Nigel

I think i've dragged this one up from the bottom, but what a tune Don't think for one moment i can out do Prison Jelly but this is my belated attempt at The life of a bubble. I managed to incorporate the line "The life of the bubble got longer " and have just realized it should have been "the life of a bubble" to keep to the rules set by Henwrench arh well its too late now to change it . Hope you enjoy Poor old Mary

Damn Reg man.....deadly vocal.....how do you do it to change your vocal to fit the song everytime is wild. If I didn't know better, I would be with Mark and think that Mark might sing this this way if Mark did sing it and if Mark did hear it sung this way by Mark..........you know what I mean Reg-man.
