“99″ COVER: MOB CHOIR SEARCH [PLEASE REBLOG]
Hey, Mob Psycho 100 fans!!
My co-writer Steve and I are currently trying to put together a TV size cover of the OP song “99” and we want YOU to be a part of it!
We are looking for people to do the background counting and the raucous pre-chorus shouts (“Mob! Mob! What do you want?” etc.).
Originally, we thought about just multi-tracking our own vocals for those lines but where’s the fun in that? The more voices, the more variety. So we thought we’d assemble our own “Mob choir” via the internet!
If you love MP100 or even just like the song by itself, please join us in this project!
We have a preliminary version of our “99” cover up with placeholder vocals for you to download or stream https://app.box.com/s/udz7p04tg74xgox1wmlcg6ov1qruva4w
(It sounds really dead and lackluster since I recorded this while sick, it’s only here for timing purposes, they will all be re-recorded for the final)
PLEASE, PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS VERSION AND NOT THE ORIGINAL WHEN RECORDING YOUR PART SINCE IT HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TEMPO. If you record listening to the original you’re going to end up way off and I would prefer not to have to chase people down for re-recording.
You can send in recordings of yourself doing either or both of the following parts.
COUNTING SECTIONS (listen carefully to the rhythm of our clip when you’re recording)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7-8-9-10
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17-18-19
21, 22, 23, 24, 25
26, 27, 28, 29, 30
31, 32, 33, 34, 35
36, 37, 38, 39, 40
81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87-8-9
91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98
99… (hold the last syllable as long as you can)
Note: the vocalist in the original skips 20, 89, and 90 when counting to make sure the numbers fit the tempo
EDIT: so an anon brought up the fact that the counting after the chorus might actually be “81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87-8-9″ instead of “81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88″ and that’s actually more likely. I may or may not have made a mistake. ANYHOW, feel free to record it either way, since it’s supposed to have a chaotic effect and not be completely uniform anyway.
Keep your voice as even and rhythmic as possible
PRE-CHORUS SHOUTS (the actual Mob choir part!)
Mob! Mob! What do you want?
Mob! Mob! Why do you want?
Mob! Mob! Who do you want?
Move! Move! Just like Mob!
Make sure to stay reasonably in time with our clip for this but don’t stress being 100% (heh) exact, since the beauty of this is having a huge chaotic crowd yelling this. Feel free to send in multiple copies in different voices, let loose doing weird ones if you’d like!
OPTIONAL: chorus backing vocals/harmonies
For those who want to show off their music chops, feel free to try adding background unisons or harmonies to the chorus! Lyrics below.
If everyone is not special
Maybe you can be what you want to be
yorokobi kanashimi kakaetemo
Your life is your own, OK? tokubetsu janakutemo OK
sorezore no kotae mitsukaru darou
Note: this is entirely up to whether or not it fits our desired arrangement so there is a large chance they will not be used in the final product. If you do this you NEED to send in a good quality recording so it’s preferable to try if you have access to recording equipment.
Make sure your recording is of reasonable sound quality. Most people don’t have recording equipment, and that’s fine. But we don’t want something to sound so tinny and scratchy that the actual numbers or words are indistinguishable. Using a smartphone is definitely okay and preferable to using a laptop mic (unless you have a very new laptop). The optional possible background vocals/harmonies are an exception and need to be high quality.
Label your files [your handle name]_COUNTING and [your handle name]_PRECHORUS to correspond with the parts you recorded. (if you attempted chorus backing vocals label them [your handle name]_CHORUSBGV)
Email them to [email protected] with the subject name MOB CHOIR and write in the email the name or handle you would like to be credited with when we post the final product.
Alternatively, if you prefer, you can DM @luzrovrulays on Twitter with download links to your files!
If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an ask here on Tumblr or send a DM on Twitter!
DEADLINE: February 20th, 2017 @ 11:59 PM PST (will be extended if we don’t get enough submissions!)
Thank you for taking the time to help us with this and we hope you had a good time with it!! :D
