Hopefully, this will not be a 0-post thread.

Anyone who is up for the challenge: Record with only your voice a song or part of a song (prog or not). You can do it professional with good vocals, or silly, or a combination of both. After recording it all, post it here.

Here is my attempt, using Yes - Then ... Beware: it's an abomination of a recording. Big smile

The verses were kinda boring to do (and it shows), but the rest (especially the second half) was kinda fun :)

Anyway, yours is very amazing Big smile

type "audacity" on google. You can download that recording software for free and it's pretty cool. I use it for my demos which are in my signature and it also can help you make 'stereo' recordings like my acapella disaster. Stereo is very important to separate the voices.

The rules is that you can only use your mouth. You can also whistle.

And thanks for the compliment, I hope it made laugh.

Here's one I did quickly in April Fools but it's incomplete and there's a nasty error around 0:30 (for some reason the original song skipped and confused me). It's Yes - Long Distance Runaround.

Tho the link I posted in the first post is much better done and funnier IMO.
