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.

  • Very nice!   And you are right about the copyright.  Research by the Electronic Freedom Foundation has established that the copyright expired in 1973.  Also, Woody Guthrie wrote in a songbook:

    "This song is copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright #154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do."

  • I had to listen to it two times in a row.

    If I listen to it a third time, I will ruin it by singing along.

  • That was really very very good...wow, the talent we have here! :)

  • Thanks everyone - I'm so glad people like it!  I have a couple more in the works but want to let them stew for a bit in case I can improve the lyrics. I'm trying to be careful about tunes/copyright so some of the music will have to be my own work (which is scarier than just writing parody lyrics!).

    Fokian Fool: I'd be happy for you to include it on your playlist but don't want to take away from the specialness of Lelu's Goodnight Groddle, which is what inspired this in the first place. :)

  • This is awesome! (although I hoped for some theremin noises. ;)
    Posted 15 months ago by nekomaki Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, nekomaki, I don't have a theremin at the moment! But a friend offered to make one for me, so if that happens, I can do a remix specially for you! :)

  • I LOVE it.  Hilarious, delightful, glitchy.  Perfect.  
    Posted 15 months ago by jasbo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Listening to that, I can perfectly picture my Glitch running along to the lyrics. And gotta agree with jasbo, your voice is the definition of glitchy. Brava!

  • So now there's this, Goodnight Groddle, and that song in the video on the main page that are going to have me wanting to buy Glitch, The Soundtrack soon.

  • This is lovely! (: +1 for Voluptua's Charming Badge!
    Posted 15 months ago by Xacau Feera Blin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Theremina Lute, you and your song are reason enough for a Charming Badge.
    Posted 15 months ago by caley dunn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh yes Kipple. "Glitch, The Soundtrack" would be awesome :D I'd buy it! :D
    Posted 15 months ago by Ebil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Very cute!! I must send you some Random Kindness when we get back in the world,  Theremina Lute :)

  • Chiming in with another "Ahhh that was so great~" 

    And +1 for a Glitch soundtrack. I imagine if more people put together sans-copyright parodies and even original stuff (VERY EXCITED BY THAT IDEA) some enterprising glitch could put them all together and set up a batch download for everyone who would like to have them on-hand. 

    I think it would be very glitchy in nature, with the way everyone is so super-helpful and generous. C:

  • Yet another: Wow! I love it. 
    Posted 15 months ago by Aleph Zero Subscriber! | Permalink

    And yes, another +1 for a "music of Glitch" album.

  • Awesome!  Great work :)
    Posted 15 months ago by Tradescantia Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ok, so, I listened to it again and found myself harmonising. So I, er, recorded that too and mixed the two together. There's a me-and-myself duet version of it up here now! It's not ideal - the original key I picked means my harmonies are at the lowest end of my range - but it was fun to do!
    Posted 15 months ago by Theremina Lute Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Excellent yet again!
    Posted 15 months ago by clare Subscriber! | Permalink
  • They're both beautiful. The perfect song, great new lyrics, lovely voice.
    Posted 15 months ago by Snazzlefrazz Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 *applause* Well done, Theremina.
    Posted 15 months ago by GreyGoose Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Bravo!!! 
    Posted 15 months ago by Originalauntie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well done Theremina!!!

    And i don't think it takes away from Lelu's Goodnite Groddle at all!

    I love that we have such a creative bunch here.   I wouldn't mind seeing a badge created for the creative.  (Which is a badge I could NEVER achieve, btw, lol!!)   I would love to see the creative effort awarded or rewarded in some way.

    Maybe Ur could have Juke Boxes....   Music boxes could be played....  Player creations could be played...

    Just musing

  • I did not like it.... I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!! so beautiful.... :)
    Posted 15 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I have such a grin on my face listening to the new harmony version. I am still loving this~ C:

  • For anyone's amusement - something I recorded when I was having a truly bad day.
    Posted 15 months ago by jasbo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I love this. don't think I am criticizing, but I am a decent musician and was wondering what it would sound like if the harmonies were 8va.
    Posted 15 months ago by Djoe6897 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • LOL jasbo!!

    I'm sorry you were having such a bad day.   I have those too!  (((hugs)))

  • Would you consider posting the lyrics, Theremina? I have some hearing loss, and although I can hear enough to enjoy it (immensely!! :) I can't parse out all the lyrics.
