Title: 'Clayderman Must Die' - Greeny 2 minute Original
Post by: Greeny (No longer active) on April 17, 2014, 02:14:41 AM
Something a bit different!  ;D

And only 2 mins long.

Started in Garageband then acoustic guitar and vocals added.

A pretty tune with the following lyric in (VERY, VERY BAD!  :D) French. Apologies to the French contingent! ...

'ballade pour Adeline' is shit
his radiant smile annoys
he always plays it safe

and that's why...
Clayderman must die

It's not a serious song. I'm sure Richard is a lovely man  :D

I can't listen to this, I'm a huge fan of Richard 'Piano God' Clayderman. I don't know what you're thinking Tim.

Nah can't stand his music. Here goes!

Magic!

I like the sense of humour!
That intro of yours is very claydermanish ;-)

I suggest André Rieu Must Die (with pain!)

Seriously - I think it is great they bring music to public that generally doesn't listen that kind of music.
I agree that self-promotion is annoying, but hey, this is (also) the music industry.

Being a typical Englishmen, one of the few french words that I do not need translating is "Merde"

The French sounded pretty good to my ears, and man do those guitars sound good, every note crystal clear and interweaving beautifully.

Hope your not going to follow this up with a nasty song about my hero Bobby Crush now!  ;D ;D

Indeed, different, but what is a fascinating insight into 'the dirty rooftops of your mind', is when we get to the punchline (Clayderman must die), we hit the payload, we hit a most Greenyesque passage, where we find all is well with the world. Bostin' Steve Austin.

Love the lyric! Some superb acoustic sounds there & great clean picking. Nice contrast between the humour of the lyrics & the sweetness of the music. Loved it  ;D

Gotta say i don`t know this guy but i obviously now know what he did. He`s a pretty rich bugger..lol

A different one from you. I love the acoustic the most. Good french too. I should know more french
than i should also. Probably even harder to sing it!

Okay we had dead-fest so then die-fest? murder-fest?

He looks so sweet, safe and wholesome. He must surely drown kittens whilst on heroin as a pastime. Or keep kidnapped nuns in the torture dungeon of his chateau.

Now there's a song title ;-)

Yep. "He has clocked up massive worldwide record sales of approximately 90 million, at the last count, and an incredible 267 Gold and 70 Platinum discs to his credit"

Who bought them though?!

Well that can be said about many many "so called" artists.  e.g David Hasselhof

I know who you mean now. And I'm inclined to agree.

And, quite unbelievably, here's the asshole doing a Clayderman cover! (Ballade Pour Adeline). Kind of fitting I suppose.

I've heard of this Clayderman fellow, but know nothing about him except that I think he makes piano muzak?  ;)

I enjoyed the song, though…a bit of a different twist, and your guitars are locked in nice and tight!

I especially like the acoustic guitar here too.  Weird, fun, inventive, sassy, beautiful (in a weird way) song.  I can almost see Kate Bush doing something like this back in her prime.

I had happily forgotten about Clayderman.

A Happy sounding tune overall, some great ivory tickling going on there, as for the French I got an E in GCSE French so cant really comment.

Tres Bien!
