Thanks, Horacewimp , glad you liked it! Yeah, that clock reference at the end seems like a nod to Jungle. It was Uno's idea but I think she hadn't realized until I asked her the same thing. Uh, and as for the goat's voice royalties... it's clear in the credits that it's Uno who did it, so it must be Uno who pays them. This is beautiful. I think I have something in my eye..... Thanks Chippa. Interesting point of view, I hadn't seen it as a "touching" song, I saw it more like a relaxed song but it's nice to see it can produce other sensations in others who listen.

'Summer Night Safari' - destined to be a classic of course. I found the track a very relaxing listen with great production and a very tropical feel. Highlights for me were the unexpected harmonica solo (I don't know why I wasn't expecting it, I just wasn't), the tip-tip vocals and the Jeff-alike guitar part .

N'aww, you lot - thanks! It's mightily chuffing to have such lovely feedback and especially to find out the different bits you enjoyed most. I really don't recall thinking of Jungle with the alarm clock, it was just to underline about waking up in the real world, but now of course I shall claim all the glory. As I did all the work impersonating the goat I rather think it should be him that's paying me. In fact I have Jeff's best lawyers working on it as we speak. Pleased it rang a bell though from one of our daft previous threads Now, of course, you should all be braced and ready for Helmut83 to come a-looking for you for his next creation. Yes, even you wolvesgirlgonewild - if he can persuade BSJ and I out of our lair there is no hope at all for anyone else.....

Glad you liked the guitar solo, BSJ. You know I'm not what you'd call a guitar player, so any good feedback on this feels like a bonus. I've found out that many people on this forum are really talented and fun to write and record music with, even if when you first summon them they flee like crazy at the sole perspective of participating in a song. Sometimes a couple of weeks later they are coming with more and more new ideas on how to improve the song. For example, the "oohs" and "aahs" of the backing vocals were Uno's idea. There are a few forum members which, like some Pokemons, are proving to be more elusive (ahem... queenofthehours ... )... so far... only so far... and I've already taken note that wolvesgirlgonewild said she sings...

As much as I would love to show you my musical talents Helmut83 I get very embarrassed when asked to sing in front of people but who knows? You may convince me one day, it is a little ambition of mine to record a song haha

I can see me getting sucked into this one day, something tells me there's some pretty good persuasive techniques going on here...

In about a month's time, when wolvesgirlgonewild and Helmut83 release their post modern techno-thrash masterpiece we'll all look back at this thread and smile to ourselves. Resistance is useless!

That's good to know! Never been in a proper recording studio, would love to go to Abbey Road and do a Jeff and proper fangirl at being in there

Proper studio? Abbey Road?... Eeehhhmmm... well, you've got to be prepared in case reality comes out to be a bit different. And I blame unomusette and BSJ for those overly high expectations...
