Heres the Lyrics I wrote:


We don't like Jean-Michel Jarre
So were travelling by car
From Germany to Gay Paris
To destroy his music legacy

Were going on a Tour De France
And head to Paris for a chance
To Kidnap him and then go forth
on the Autobahn to Dusseldorf

We'll burn his album Oxygene
And turn him into a Machine
with patch cables for His Veins
and a Twelve volt battery for his mains

Now he is a full Cyborg
we replaced his brain with a Microkorg
and now there is no Jean Michel
His laser harp can rot in hell

No more Zoolook,Rendez-vous
Magnetic Fields or Tout Est Bleu
we'll feed him Filters and Microchips
and Minipops Bleeps and Blips

He'll function as our Home computer
and beam us all into the Future
and when they ask us where is Jarre
we'll tell them he's a Modular

Now at Kling Klang work is done
Back to Paris Jarre Returns
with his brain computerized
he's permanantly hypnotized

Cos now were are the Kings of Synths
there's no-one now we need convinced
cos this music battles won
now Kraftwerk are the Number One...

Well it was meant in a "Tongue in cheek" manner,if i had of written serious Lyrics,it would have spoilt the Humour in the Kraftwerk manipulating Jarre philosophy,so i guess the lyrics give it the merriment of the situation..

Can you do a JMJ manipulating KWerk.

PS. Maybe some Jean-Luc De Meyer / Ian Curtis influences in the vocal delivery ... deeeeeep.

Joy Division were great.

I've been toying with ideas and am still working on a Jarre type version...but you'll all be the first to hear it when its done

[Velodynamic]

Rude and funny.
But honestly Equin(oo)xe, I think your singing is too good as a cover for Kraftwerk.
"I'll be baack!"

[AnDrOiD]

I think his "singing"/voice would be good for rap/hip hop!

Surely its Ronan

[Equinoxe]

this is not my usual pitch........I had to sing like "Barry white" in order to pitch to the song!!!

It was quite unatural for me to sing this low and hurt my throat during a couple of takes due to me not singing in my natural keyrange so I couldnt breathe correctly and comfortably,but if i had of sung it an octave higher in my more natural range it would have sounded weak and not as Kraftwerkesque vocally

I did add a little Pitch shift(couple of cents)and also a Little chorus to phatten it up,hence why it maybe sounds boomy Rapper style..Given that the Lyrics melody has little Melodic content as opposed to most traditional lyrical range is probably why my voice would suit rap,but thats only because of the lack of use of scales,I dont normally sing and this low (almost flat)only in this instance.

[Jon]

Excellant, still laughing

[SAP]

[E-vert]
