Take this beat, for example. It's one of the few beats where I built all the loops around vocals. In the hook, the voice says "I want to do something freaky to you" and in the verse it says "Ooohhh so good to have you back!"
When Kelly Thompson contacted me about making an original track for her new podcast, 3 Chicks Review Comics, she expected an instrumental song like my other podcast themes (for the AudioShocker and Comic Book Pitt, natch).
I suggested the idea of shouting "3 Chicks" in there and she liked it. But when I came up with the idea of adding a verse to it, I decided to keep it secret and surprise Kelly with it when the song was complete. When it came time for the unveiling, Kelly dug the rap and told me she'd save the vocal version for special occasions.
And today just happens to be one of those occasions! 3 Chicks Review Comics Episode 005 [link coming later today!] was the right time to let the vocal version loose... and now I'm thrilled to be able to share this version of the theme with you.
If you like this 3 Chicks theme, check out my original instrumental album Brilliant Shower.
I think this is the most "remixy" of all the beats I've posted so far. The only thing that's been added is the sound of my voice (and it's a real doozy, so make sure you prepare yourself mentally before you click play).
Anyway, I like this beat a lot. The original was easy to work with and I'm happy with the way I chopped it up. Not that I would hold this up as my finest production, but I'm satisfied with the humorous result.
