This Glitch is Your Glitch - now with bonus duet version!

I have mentioned this a bit but did want to be a bit more upfront about it as I am kind of pleased with it. I wrote and recorded a Glitch parody of This Land is Your Land (fortunately I believe the tune is out of copyright). It was recorded using my phone so the quality's not the greatest, but it's listenable!

It's on Soundcloud here. I would really like to know what you think!

EDIT: I recorded myself singing harmonies on this and created a me-and-me duet version! It's here.

  • Sure, Aspasia - here are the lyrics!

    This land is your land, this land is my land,
    From Kalavana, to Groddle Island,
    From Ilmenskie Caverns, to Aranna's fo-orests,
    This land was made for you and me.

    Come roam and ramble, come mine and harvest,
    Maybe it's your Glitch who'll travel farthest;
    Come catching fireflies, come race a cuuuuubimal -
    This land was made for you and me.

    Can you make pizza, or tetrazzini?
    Have you tried chatting with a friendly spice tree?
    Do you pet piggies, or prefer buuuuuutterflies?
    This land was made for you and me.

    Come play a musicblock, come buy a sno-cone,
    Come munch some purple, no need to be alone,
    Come join the conga, come celebrate with us -
    This land was made for you and me.

    Happy Glitching, everyone! Please say hi in game, I love meeting people :)

  • The "Purple Haze" jukebox is in progress. :) I have 2, maybe three songs to add from Glitchen. I'll upload an image later so you can see it progress.

  • The TS staff have tweeted your song link and it's mentioned in the blog.

  • Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents.

  • Caley, thanks for the Twitter heads-up. I am sitting here in my pyjamas with a grin so wide it's starting to hurt, giggling like a five-year-old. :) I am on Twitter but my account is locked so I can't tweet my appreciation to the TS team.

    Fokian Fool - mentioned in what blog where? :) Thank you for letting me know!

    Eeeeeee! *dances about like a fool* Thank you for being so very nice about this, everyone. It makes me happy. You are all so kind! I am looking forward to singing more things for you - though I probably need to buy a better microphone. The iPhone's just not quite up to the job.

  • I've just realised, what I really really want in the Glitch wardrobe is a little guitar for my Glitch to carry :)

  • Aha, I see what you mean, FF - thank you! :) It is Rather Exciting. I think I'll have to get more stuff on that Soundcloud account ASAP.

  • Go for it. I have several other projects going on so I'm happy to wait to get a decent pool of music.
