[Super 8]

Happy Fridays!

Cor, this is bit good! Very fine work and beautifully constructed. No idea who Rebecca Black is, mind!

[Super 8]

Cheers Greeny! 
RE: Rebecca Black. She's some sort of 'viral star' apparently. She currently holds the title for 'Worst Song Ever' with 167 million YouTube dislikes or summat.  With an accolade like that I felt it worthy of a cover!

Wikipedia info: Rebecca Black (born June 21, 1997) is an American pop singer and dancer who gained extensive media attention with the 2011 single "Friday". Her mother paid $4,000 to have the single and an accompanying music video put out as a vanity label[3] through the record label ARK Music Factory.[4] The song was co-written and produced by Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson of Ark Music Factory. After the video went viral on YouTube and other social media sites, "Friday" was derided by many music critics and viewers, who dubbed it "the worst song ever."[5][6][7] The music video received around 167 million views, causing Black to gain international attention as a "viral star"

Oh wow - I know the Rebecca Black version - you've done such a great job on it. I think vocally you sound a bit like another Songcrafter (Daniel Storey)

You've definately dragged this into cooldom.

[Super 8]

Thanks Haylie! 

RE: "You've definitely dragged this into Cool-dom!" 

Ha! Ha!  The original being what it is (ie: the antithesis of cool!) I never thought it was actually possible to make this song sound 'cool'!  Thanks for your comments & encouragement

Are you really new to recording? If so, you're one bloody quick learner!
