Title: No 10 - Queen of Hearts
Post by: Hilary on March 28, 2019, 03:53:47 AM
Well here it is - No 10 the Queen of Hearts for the Alice project. If it wasn't for Ken's outstanding backer I would have given up on this a long time ago.

Many thanks to Ken, for the backer, and for Kari, Alfredo and Rick (Pluddleglum) for the guest appearances. If anyone wants to have a go at some of the lines I've done, just let me know and I'll remix you in.

Phew!

--------
I said off with her head
I said off with her head

We could
Chop it off
Cut it off
Rip it off
Slit it off
Kick it off
Slap it off
I said off with her head

What shall we do with the head she's chopped off
What shall we do with the head she's chopped off
What shall we do with the head she's chopped off
Early in the morning

Might not be in the morning

We could shrink it use it as a crochet ball
(it's a croquet ball)
We could eat it with some flava beans and a nice chiante (Alfredo)
(that's the wrong film Alfredo)
We could hang it on a wall as a warning to others(Kari)
(I think you'll find that's a Handmaid's Tale)
We could (Kari)
(Game of Thrones)
We could use it as an occasional table for your tarts (Rick)
(just like every single episode of Criminal Minds I've ever seen)
Shall we just leave it then? (Rick)
No – I said off with her head!

This one's ripe for a Disney remake (Rick)

I said off with her head!

It was nice to be little part of this :) . The song is so catchy (listened to it several times when practicing my takes), and especially now, when I heard the completed version after a couple weeks. Well done Hilary!

Kenneth, you've done superb job with the backer - cool sounding guitar with a bit funky vibe - works extreamely well!

This is excellent! Really catchy backing track and I love the lyrics. They have a nice humourous skew to them without being silly. I also like the way you've recorded the lyrics and the way they fit into the mix. Very nice work all round!
