hey JonEric - thanks for the review - I can definitely understand hating my lyrics for this one, they were pretty ridiculous.

but no I didn't use any vocoder/synth on this one ... I do use pitch correction (abused perhaps on this track) but no, no synth... and the bass was done vocally ... again, I may have gone too crazy with the pitch correction (and compression) to the point where it sounds like a bass guitar.

Some of these harmonies aren't spot-on, and I can't tell whether that was on purpose.
No - not on purpose. Just out of tune.
Ah, thanks for owning up to it. It seemed like Ben's near-misses were on purpose, so I thought I'd give you the benefit of the doubt, making the song "ugly" on purpose or something. I'm not wild about your premise, but you really ran with it and made it work.

I figured it was probably something like that. If you were ever interested in venturing out of your comfort zone, probably the very first thing I'd recommend for you would be to try a whole song with no pitch correction of any kind. I'm curious to see how that would turn out!
