Yeah, I'm a dumbfuck and forgot to grab my tablet before ecology class, or else I'd actually have some time. I may be able to do it tonight. I'm just...really disappointed. I was just about to save it and send it to Shadix too, but I got into reading something and passed out. I gotta stop working as late as 3am.

Lemme....bounce back here, and maybe I'll have something else tonight. Hopefully as good. U.U

I was thinking of doing something for this. I'm not such a hot musician, and don't do very polished stuff; but I would like to have a go at a Christmas version of Casino Night Zone if nobody's doing it.

This is an example of the sort of production quality I'm getting right now (Yeah, I know I posted it in Creative Works). I can work in a few musical styles, though.

[Shadix]

New stuff:
---
-Skit Tracks that will be interspersed throughout the album, with voiceovers and story-telling.
-Nekofrog from OCRemix is making a mix
-Potentially 3 songs from an associate of mine, including a blues jazz styled arrangement of Tidal Tempest, with live instrumentation. (ps this track alone will be the shit)

New Ways to Help:
---
-Voice Talent (We need a Tails, a Nack, and MAYBE a Sonic voice actor. Extras may be needed so don't hesitate if you don't have an impression)
-script Writer
-Lyricist (StrikeDaMic needs an AIM or some way I can contact him easier. He doesn't realize how much he wants to write lyrics.)

Specific Track Lookout Wish:
---
-Genesis Sonic Chiptune styled Christmas songs
-Greensleeves in Chiptune form ^^
-Original Christmas tracks
-Basically Anything thats not a flatout remix. Be creative, this album needs depth haha. (Not saying remixes aren't accepted anymore, I'd just like to see other things, because if we get too many tracks and I have to make cuts remixes are currently in the overwhelming majority.)

Shit, if anything I want to be a Nack. Because, you know, he steals shit.

[Rokkan]

I think I may dub Tails. I used doing it but I'm not sure if I can anymore :Ç

If Wetflame is not involved with this aspect of the album in some way, I will be severely disappointed.

Alright, what I was going to do was lyrical;

Have a Merry Christmas, from all of us.

Jingle bells, but not for the gambling man,
As he staggers back home, no presents in his hand.
Lost it all there at the slots, what will he say?
His habit might just have ruined Christmas Day.

Not all is lost, not for that gambling man,
He can turn a new leaf, better do it while he can.
So let's all say a prayer, for our friend,
And they might still have, they might still just have, they might have Christmas in the end.

(Have a good Christmas)

And repeat... as the tune (Casino Night Zone 1P) does. (Edited, like a word ^^

I was going to try and do a Bing Crosby sort of delivery as well... sort of suits the style of the track anyway. Oh, and added bells here and there, because it's Christmas and all. Sort of nice, eh? Keeps with the theme of the level, plus delivers a nice Christmas message without being too saccharin-sweet.

Well, I took a crack at singing it (as people on #Retro know) so here it is.

Christmas Night Zone

This bought a tear to my eye. Merry Christmas, Max

[Max Firestorm]

Hehe ^^ Merry Christmas Jay. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Jayextee]

Yeah, so. I'll make my remix anyway -- whether or not it gets used for the Christmas Chaos album, it's a nice little thing to do and probably amuse my friends with.

*opens Garageband...*

The first thing I thought about when I read/heard that song was the Simpsons' first Christmas special.

Homer wastes all his money at the track and can't buy gifts for the family, but him and Bart bring home Santa's Little Helper and everyone's happy. The end.

I changed one word, therefore the story. It suits better, I think; I'd just had the word 'track' instead of 'slots' because the latter might be mistaken for an un-Christmaslike profanity when sung. I hadn't thought much about that Simpsons episode, but it's probably why it seemed familiar and Christmassy

[Sonic Warrior TJ]

"Slots" would fit more, just because it's the Casino Night song. And you play slots at Casino night.

I wonder if my mic works. I could try to do some voice actan.

Does this mean I have to re-sing it? XD I don't mind doing it though. ^^ I had a lot of fun doing it, it's been ages since I recorded myself sing.
