Beagle's Becan - Mayhem in the Coffee House

 Hi folks
Well this got previewed in the Coffee House a couple of weeks ago and I think its about time to force it onto the rest of the forum.
 
The lyrics are very Coffee House related, so don't worry if you don't understand what the f*&% is going on...
 
Big thanks to BayouBill and ScottyTunes for their wikid skilz init!
 

I don't know what gave me the inspiration, or even if the effort was even worth it, but something in the CH a few months ago set a spark in my imagination and here's the result. 
Beagle's Becan

Guitar break by Bill of the bayou
Violin solo by Scottytunes




The Beagle went down to the Coffee House, he was looking for Becan to steal.
He'd been on a diet, was about to riot: he was ready for a proper meal.
when he came across this old girl shakin' a frying pan and it was hot.
And the Beagle jumped up on a kitchen chair and said; "Girl let me tell you what:

"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a master in the kitchen
"and I've got so high on grits and rye my paws just won't stop itchin'
"Now that looks pretty good Becan, girl, I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do:
"I bet your soul 'gainst a Cowbell of gold that I can eat more than you."

The girl said "My name's Karyn and my appetites alarming
"and if you try to take this becan from me you'll find I'm less than charming."
　
Karyn fetch your favorite sticks and play that cowbell hard.
'Cos Beagles in the kitchen when he should be in the yard.
And if you win you get this shiny cowbell made of gold.
But if you lose, the Becans got to go.
 
So Beagle sat and scratched his ear while eyeing up the fridge door.
And fire flew from his rear end as he shot across the floor
And he threw some Becan in a pan and it made an evil hiss.
Then all the Coffee House Band joined in and it sounded something like this. 
 
When the Beagle finished, Karyn said: "Well you're pretty good for a dog.
"Now pass that fryin' pan over here and I'll show you how to cook hog."

Spacey in the back room, tappin' in frets
"Have you paid your Bouy tax?", 　"No, not yet" 
 
The Beagle stopped his chewing 'cos he knew then he'd been beat.
and said "Now pass that Spotted Dick, this here's just too much meat."
Karyn said "Now come here pup, and don't you be so silly"
She rolled him over on to his back and tickled his big furry belly

Thanks for the comments Mark.

I spent hours musing over those breath sounds.  IMO it sounds awful without them,  dead and flat, but V-Vocal ignores them when pitchshifting so it sounds like someone else is doing the breathing for the vocalist...

In the end I just thought sod it,  everyone knows the vox is v-vocaled so I'll just leave it.

As far as the breath sounds go, there is an inbetween where they are there but they're not via envelopes.

You calling me lazy??   Yup,  spot on
 
 
ok,ok,  I'll envelope them down the mix a little,                  sometime.

How the heck did I miss this in the CH? I swear sometimes I don't get a full list of threads that are here.

This is great. :)

That happened to me once. ☺

Bub,   I don't know how you missed it.

Philip,   thanks for the listen, I'm glad you liked it and sorry if it made you hungry

Very well done!  LOL

Was sitting here with my son listening. Great song! Definitely worth more then one listen.
Now I know what the term "becan" is all about now.... LOL


Was that YOU Karyn (using V-Vocal)?

Thanks for the replies.  Yes,  that is happens when you can't sing and put V-Vocal on it...

Too much Karyn.

Loved every second of it.

Love it Karyn, awesome monster collab. Lyrics and concept is what I call real entertainment. Scotty a virtuoso solo on anything you put in front of him, but this one pleases me the best of all. Now that's some fiddle playing! Bill always great to hear your tones and style. I've always said the world needs more songs about Beagle and becan. This one just might be the trend setter.

Hi Grant,  I never thought of myself being a trend setter...


Tom,  glad you liked it,  thanks for the comment.

Hi Karyn, fun song, excellent performance all round. Nice one. Somehow I'm thinking of a video with French and Saunders .


Rik

What a fun tune and just a great production. Surprising too!
Great job Karyn, Scotty and Bill.

Hi, Karyn,

Very clever and cool parody, I'm sure Reece is absolutely thrilled to be immortalized into coffee house history! 

Seriously though, You, Scotty and BIll did a dynamite job on both the musicianship and production for this.  Everything really sounds great!

Wonderful job,
Bob

Oh my!  This was awesome.  It reminded me of the song "Fiddle With The Devil."
