And if putting words to a remix, will it wreck the 'purity' of the original music or enhance it? You could find yourself sticking extra bits in or making medleys. Or have the beginnings of a new song due to inspiration.
Good idea? If anything, it's different to yet another remix of Thing On A Spring or The Last V8.
There's quite a few of these already: check out Makke's album (quite a few great vocals on that), C64 Mafia, Tom Detert on Remix64 Syntax Error (F1 Aspar GP, done in the style of Kajagoogoo), and those heroes of vocals, PRESS PLAY ON TAPE and Visa Roster.
And how could I have forgotten PRESS PLAY ON TAPE, doing what I did in the studio much earlier....
Playing music using controllers! They stole my idea, only they did it first!
I must admit I forgot those were around. But I was kind-of thinking more about transcending the original music, with lyrics not about gaming at all and having a patchwork of different tunes or bits to make/inspire a symphony with lyrics.
Tonka's "Belong", and a couple of tunes I did but never finished spring to mind (they were based around "Game Over Issue 89" and "Storm" respectively, but didn't use multiple tunes).
Then there's this:
which has:
a) Lyrics which aren't about Ninjas or gaming
b) Knucklebusters
c) Last Ninja
