Ok!

Well then the only problem will be that I can't sing.

Lyrics should be fun though.

also. about the collab part when you said you would only give tokens to one person.

what if it's a collab between two people and they come in first. instead of one person getting two tokens would they both get one?

Honestly this isn't meant to be a collab event at all, plus if you two choose the same token that's not right either. So no I wont split them.

Well I wasn't planning on collabing anyway. just wanted to clear that up.

anyway good luck to everyone.

Honest question, does a tempo increase count as a 'remixing of the song'?

It feels a little slow to me and I was wondering if I could just speed it up to better fit with what I was thinking of trying to do.

If not, okay, just figured I'd ask.

I'm going to talk with the other event helpers on this one. I'm not really sure whether we should allow it or not.

That is an interesting question. Technically you really wouldn't be "remixing the song" in a sense, just speeding it up slightly, which wouldn't be adding any new elements or changing around the songs structure. My vote is for allowing, AS LONG as you increase the tempo of the entire song, and don't use this as a method to severely speed up / slow down certain sections to make the song feel overall different from the original.

Adding as an exception to the first post.

I got a similar question, are we allowed to use vocal effects? I'm not talking like on an extreme level but rather possibly adding in echos or something along the lines of that that won't be an overkill to the song?

I actually slowed down the original before I exported it because I figured it would make it easier to rap over.

I can send you a faster version if you want it, it' ll probably be cleaner than stretching the .wav.

I tried to tell a somewhat coherent story through rap, hope this won't be too bad to your ears. :P Again, forgive my whiteness.

https://soundcloud.com/marionintendo/santas-sm-story

Old Santa was having a groovy day
With the elves and reindeers, he was O-K
Party in the North Pole twenty-four hours a day
To mix vodka with wine and then crash on the hay

In his hometown, the dude is pretty famous,
Partially for his factory, it's obvious,
But when he's drunk, Santa is a real mess
He can Triple-A Rave7... while playing chess!

Yeah, believe me. The dude's got skill.
In Sweden, he's the number one target to kill,
Not only because he is way too hardcore,
But because he also beat saiain and isaac's high scores!

One day he woke up after he had a blast
And remembered that his fun was never meant to last
Soon he would craft gifts for kids all over the planet
He came up with a plan, I don't think you can guess it?

He flew over to Pakistan, during the night
Took some random plastic items to give them new life,
Built himself a mega-computer with elf magic
And then burned stepmania on every single disc!

He wrapped them up with care, doing his own affair,
But suddenly, a weird scent replaced the air,
In the sky, people looked down at him with malice,
And shouted: "YOU'RE UNDER ARREST BY STEPMANIA POLICE"

Wow, stepmania police. Haven't heard about them in a long whille. I mean, sure they have their helicopter, their fancy car, but I don't think they stand a chance. No, I, Santa has his swag. So, you know, when they told him to raise his hands, get in the car, you know what he said? I'll tell you what he said, he said:

"Sons, what's this travesty, might I ask?
I never used double setup or judge 1 in my life!
I'm only spreading the word, before the game goes dead
You guys are really clueless, are your brains made outta lead?"

"Hold it!, " said captain officer Kommisar
Don't say a word or I'll crash your face in the wall.
Drop those copies of Stepmania or I'll lose my cool,
And share FFR instead, you tragic, immense fool"

Santa said "whoa". Couldn't find a reply.
He dropped the discs and blue birds started to fly (!?).
He said "fine, I'll share this game, but, god forbid,
Don't you dare take it down like tass and Synthlight did."

And here, my friends, is the end of our story
Of how our community came to be.
LIke Santa be cool, don't be a tool,
And a very merry christmas from me to you!

You aren't allowed to remix the song, but you can do pretty much anything you'd like to your voice. Probably going to be a no for vocoding and auto-tuning, but aside from that go nuts.

I really enjoy the story aspect if this, it was quite hilarious I have to say! If you could though, please post the lyrics along with this when you have the chance (although it was pretty audible, they are great for reference when judging). You've got plenty of time to post them, just be sure to before the submission date ends. Once you submit the lyrics I'll add it to the submissions section.

[justin]

Let me try the 90.

edit: Yep, liking the 90 better, and I don't have much of an issue keeping up with what I'd already written. I like this so far. Tis fun (:

Well two considering you haven't even submitted yours yet.

I wouldn't worry though, people tend to submit for these things closer to the deadline, so there should be some competition soon enough. I would be pretty disappointed if there wasn't even 4 or 5 submissions, especially considering you get 20k just for submitting something.

Here's my submission, enjoy!

Its super smash bros champ, the biggest gamewhore
Went from the bottom to top, makin' a name for
Myself, movin up through the ranks, got no boundaries no lengths, I just wanna say thanks
To any haters that have doubted me
Might have started as a joke but, there’s about to be
A new number one, and no one’s stoppin’ me
From pursuing what im doin, as I’m crusin’ all the way up to the top you’ll see
Been addicted from day one, okay son
Any other rhy-thm games, they aint fun
Hundred games a day, I can’t just play one
Sittin home, smashin keys, in my parent’s base-munt
FFR got me in the holiday spirit
got my wish list, only thing that I need is
a new keyboard cuz that time I got heated
playing death piano, had me yellin’ and screamin’

Flash flash revolution, it’s the solution
To being bored and killin’ time….execution
Where else can you go to play new songs every week
Yeah, that’s what I thought, now sing along with me and say
Flash flash revolution, it’s the solution
To being bored and killin’ time….execution
Where else can you go to play new songs every week
Yeah, that’s what I thought, now sing along with me yeah

[Talking]
Yo Eminem better watch out.......we got a new white rapper
who goes by the name.....super....smash....bros...champ
haha!..........we still got verse number 2!
Uhh.....Uhhh....Yeah....Uhhh....Listen!

Oh look what time it is……it’s time to play some more
Stare at the screen for hours, until my face is sore
Yeah, I’ll play right through the night, I’ll play until it gets light, all I need is excite-bike
Yeah or maybe flight of the bumblebee
Keep movin’ up the ranks, now guys are under me
Been here for 6 years, and it’s still fun for me
If I have a kid, you know my son will be
An addict like his dad, playin games and getting mad
Only difference is that he’ll get all the stuff I never had
Like triple A’s and tokens, his keyboard won’t be broken
and will I win this contest, man I don’t know but I’m hopin’
And by the way this is my first time using audacity
So if you’re listening to this thinkin aww that’s shitty
Well....then you’re probably right
I thought it sounded alright
Merry Christmas goodnight
Peace!
