Ok, so here I go biting off more than I can chew, however....
I've seen this topic meet with some interest in a couple of threads now so I've decided to do something about it.

//www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=775920&highlight=boom
I say let's do something about it.
Yesterday's thread proves we have the pictures and even a few talented lyricists
I offered last night that I have access to a professional recording studio, and have been talking with my brother-in-law and he thinks its a great idea and has offered his talents in producing a scored slide show.
So lets do it.
We need find out who wants to contribute images and VOCALS to the project.
I'm willing to coordinate the project, but I'm looking for advice on how to collect images and vocals.
(John has already told me that we need at least 300dpi images.)
We need some method of grading the images and selecting the verses.
So, who's game?

Talk to Konador and Judi. Both have experience collecting vocals from DPCers using a variety of methods.
And sign me up for both a pic and a vocal contribution! :) Or if you actually want high-quality singing, then just a pic!

Thanks for the info, Jeff
I just sent this to the folks at Discovery:
I represent a rather large group of photographers who are interested in a project related to your Boom de Yada commercial. This project will involve the creation of a 60 second video slide show set to your song with original lyrics. The final product will be submitted to your offices for your consideration.
My question is what approvals are needed to use your music for this project and how do I obtain the needed releases? |

I sing well too, good enough to be a soloist in the English Under 18;s Canterberry Cathedaral Choir, if that helps. |

Well, I sing.
And I have also heard the magic that John can do with audios, so I'm not that worried about it. :)

I doubt Discovery owns the music. It started as a Girl Scout song. One I've sung with my troop, in fact. :)
I love the mountains,
I love the rolling hills.
I love the flowers,
I love the daffodils.
I love the fireside,
when all the lights are dim.
Boomdeyada, boomdeyada, boomdeyada, boomdeyada.

As an adult. :P As I explain to my daughter, I'm not a girl, but I am a Girl Scout. :) I've been one of her troop leaders since it started in Kindergarten.
This isn't exactly a secret:

With the sensibilities about copyrights around here, I figured I'd be safe. |

The song is an Ice Cream song. If you know any music theory I-vi-IV-V chord progression. Which translates to C-am-F-G or G-em-C-D. I saw one person playing it and instead of a IV chord they played the minor substition so it was G-em-am-D or C-am-dm-G. Its one of those real popular changes. Songs that also use it are, Every Breath you Take, Stand By Me, theme song from happy days, At Last, and many more. I have no recording stuff but those are the chords if you need them. :) |

That's up to me and anyone else who has any good ideas, and the Magic Man in Clarksville.
I think for now we can start collecting images and proposed lyrics here, then work out the verses. |

Well is he going to make us a track to sing to. That really would be the easiest. then He would send us the track and we could send back our voices only. Playing instruments in different studios might not work that well lol. As for verses don't we have a billion of them! |

Now you're getting beyond me, but I'll talk to him over the weekend and work out the best way.
I just emailed him and suggested he registered as a user so he can join the thread.

Well in basic terms here is how it works usually...
instruments are layed on top of one another in a studio.
the drummer plays his part.
Then the bassist lays down their part on top of that
Then guitars
extra stuff keyboard ect.
Then the vocalists sing over that mix.
After that there is a lot of mixing and blah blah blah.
What I was curious about was if he was going to do everything except the vocals and then send us the rough mix to sing over.
as many people as possible should sing the boom de yada part though. |

-----------------------
Not sure what the rules are, but my thinking is that at least lines 2 and 4 should rhyme and the "whole world" and "DPC" (variations) show up every third or fourth verse. Sound ok? I'd be happy to compile the final lyrics. How many verses? I could also coordinate the keeping track of vocalists to each line as people volunteer for them. I would just post the final lyrics with numbered lines and let people volunteer to do any number of lines (non-sequential to maintain variety) until we get them all assigned. We would do the same for the images - allow people to volunteer an image to a specific line. Whatya think, Jammmur?
