*rereads song to figure out where the swearing is*
*gives up*

tbh, there is ONE word in there that I probably wouldn't normally say, but it's tame enough that it's the kind of thing I don't mind making an exception about for my Art. but with elephants.

As far as I can tell, the only word is "screwed", and I don't really consider that to be swearing, so.....with elephants.

The words I was referring to are Line 27, word 3; Line 37, word 3; and Line 57, word 3. I'm fine with using the word "screwed." It doesn't make a significant difference though, as I doubt I'll be singing those lines.

Fine. The final resting place of sinners, and a misbehaving donkey.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/l7ytd9 - The main song, sung by me. I ignored the "The Wall Won't Fall" chants, and any individual line that I don't sing, though I don't think I did it all that well. Both will be uploaded shortly, to complete the ensemble.

Ah, if only I knew how to put audio files on the internet. I've even got a microphone headset, I just don't know what to do with it.
So, apparently I'm the sanest madman this side of the international date line. Seems legit.

The song for the ("The Wall Won't Fall") repeated chant (two instances, so pick and choose). http://www.sendspace.com/file/1gyg9t

My individual line (it's not really in tune, but it doesn't fit the beat of the original anyway. http://www.sendspace.com/file/cgwr8s

My contributions are done!

Edited the original post to add

Clarification in case anybody needs it:
Each of us who wishes to do so sings the WHOLE song. Use headphones so that the recording does not pick up on the background music as we already have that as a separate file.
If you need to listen as you sing, you can find the song with vocals here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbp52Z9jRg0
And without here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhICDbRKz-E

Perfect, Kirka :D Feel free to do the whole song too if you want

I have a suggestion for a slight lyrics change (which I feel bad about, given that people have already started recording).

For "HEED MY EVERY ORDER" could we maybe say "HEED OUR EVERY ORDER" because, from what I can tell, that's meant to be Mr. A speaking?

Don't worry about it :) it's not the chorus, so we'll let you know if we want you to do that particular line in which case THEN you can rerecord it. Don't give yourself more work until you're sure it's needed ;)

Don’t know whom to follow,
'tween Ed and Joe
but don’t ever think we’re through


I'm really having trouble figuring out how to line this up with the line from the actual song:

You're unsuited for
the rage of war
So pack up, go home
you're through.


I think the Don't know whom to follow, 'tween Ed and Joe part that is tripping me up
If you ever need to ask the questions "Am I needed? Should I help them?" The answer is always yes. Always.

Why should we do the right thing?

Yeah, what Blurred said, the 'don't know who' are the 'you're not suit'in the original song. )I keep forgetting you guys don't all have the same pronunciation as me.) :?

If it's tough to sing, you're qwelcome to try and thing of better ways to reword it.

You're right; I put too many syllables in that line, and while it's POSSIBLE to fit it, it's annoying.

How about

"Don't know whom to choose, 'tween Ed and Joe"

It's coming to a head
'Tween Joe and Ed...

Leaning to and fro
'Tween Ed and Joe...

Hoping to be led
By both Joe and Ed...

Some ideas. *shrug*
The voices in my head tell me that we saved the world. However, they also told me that George Clooney's face is on the dollar bill, so... meh. The voices are more fun, anyway.
