What would you do if I sang out of tune?

This Saturday I took another step towards my inevitable stardom. Jez, an old friend from college, is getting married next month and as part of his stag night his brother Rich hired a music studio. Jez and his more musical friends laid down the instrumentation and main vocals for “I get by with a little help from my friends”, then Jez and his less musical friends (which included my good self) laid down the backing vocals. The whole experience was very enjoyable and the end product sounded rather professional even if I do say so myself. I was in the first batch of tone-deaf imbeciles to record the backing track and I was slightly hampered by the fact I didn’t really know the words nor the tune. I gave it my best shot however and my singing “try” when I should have sung “high” was thankfully lost in the general racket produced by my fellow artists.

I would like to put an MP3 of the track up here, but Jez has decided to delay the release until after the wedding. Lets just hope those damn files-sharers don’t get hold of it first and spoil our chances of making millions in royalties.

You can find more pictures of the session and the subsequent barbeque here. I didn’t take the camera to the pub we ended up at in the evening, so you’ll just have to picture Jez throwing up four times on the way home yourselves.
