To quote the Rutles, I am shocked...and stunned.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 March 2005 00:55 (twenty-one years ago)

... and aghast!

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 7 March 2005 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Would you prefer if we only discussed the melody? Can you prove you wrote it by yourself?

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 7 March 2005 01:32 (twenty-one years ago)

How would one prove that?

A certificate from a Notary Public?

― RS £aRue (rockist_scientist), Monday, 7 March 2005 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, something must be done, or else it can't be critiqued the way Geir would want.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 7 March 2005 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

This is my least favorite of the three songs posted.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 7 March 2005 02:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I agree with jaymc. I hate to say it Geir, but I think your muse deserted you with this one. I much prefer the one that sounds like "Eve of Destruction" plus "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" as done by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 7 March 2005 04:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Would you prefer if we only discussed the melody?

This track would not benefit from it, as, melodically, it is clearly the weakest all of all of the tracks I have recorded now. ;)

Hey Geir did you see this thread?

I must hear the other songs.

OMG

― djdee (djdee2005), Monday, 7 March 2005 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

The vocals!

― djdee (djdee2005), Monday, 7 March 2005 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I like this one too, geir, esp. the little twiddle in the intro 30 secs. in.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 7 March 2005 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

This is like Depeche Mode fronted by Bob Seger.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 7 March 2005 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Remove your thong
Let us go "ding-dong"
Just like the animals do in the zoo

YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUS OH MY GOD

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 7 March 2005 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Great! Now I have an image of a hippo in a thong. Who the fuck's gonna pay for that therapist bill, huh Dan?

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 17:19 (twenty-one years ago)

(laughs at the thought of a hippo in a thong) ;)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 7 March 2005 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Doing the watusi, inevitably

― moley, Monday, 7 March 2005 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Thomas Dolby would be proud.

(and the beats get better!)

― donut debonair (donut), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I think you should have called yourself "Hongrow" for this song.

― donut debonair (donut), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

hung-ro

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 7 March 2005 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Have we done a shamlessly, self-promoting "The Music of ILM-ers" thread with links to download? Because I, for one, could use the feedback...

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I think at least there should be a "my work" category in the questions categories.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Uhm, Geir, are the lyrics sung with a wink? I mean if so, it's hilarous, if not it's hysterical!! Either way, it made me smile, thanks.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I suppose the "Ding Dong" and Monty Python references have quite a wink to them :)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:59 (twenty-one years ago)

This track would not benefit from it, as, melodically, it is clearly the weakest all of all of the tracks I have recorded now. ;)

Well, yes it is. The other two were better. Lyrically, it IS astonishing.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 7 March 2005 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

this is your very own "sex farm"

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i mustve missed something. where are the threads for the other songs?

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I like this way more than Tenacious D for example.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

OK. So fire away then ;)

one year passes...

OK, so I finally got my brand new Cubase SE figured out good enough to record another song - the first produced at my homestudio.

This is a bit different than the rest, as it is an electro/synthpop instrumental. In fact, this is the first song I made on the Amiga back in 1988, a song that I have made around 25 new versions of on various computers and instruments.
This 2007 version uses mostly softsynths

The song, "Eggs & Bacon" is found at my Uhørt-site:

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Friday, 2 February 2007 01:42 (nineteen years ago)

There's something of Lionel Richie's "Hello" in the melody.

― jimn (jimnaseum), Friday, 2 February 2007 09:56 (nineteen years ago)

Hongro, is it me you're looking for?

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 2 February 2007 10:02 (nineteen years ago)

sorry

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 2 February 2007 10:03 (nineteen years ago)

The opening of Eggs & Bacon reminds me of Sabrina's "Boys, boys, boys".

Were you part of the Amiga mod scene?
The only person I can remember from it anymore is Dr Awesome/Bjørn Lynne.

― Øystein (Øystein), Friday, 2 February 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

There's something sweetly melancholy about it, nice.

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 2 February 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

"Were you part of the Amiga mod scene?"

Sort of.

"The only person I can remember from it anymore is Dr Awesome/Bjørn Lynne. "

I sure remember him too. I was active at the same time :)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 3 February 2007 00:10 (nineteen years ago)

While I am trying to figure out how to record vocals with satisfactory audio, I have put out yet another instrumental. This time it is a cover version for once, and the source is old: "Toccata & Fugue" by Bach. The Toccata is a rather faithful abbreviation of the original, whereas the Fugue is considerably more different.

drums need work, dog

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 23:17 (nineteen years ago)

Get out of the way, Walter/Wendy Carlos, here's Geir!

― StanM (StanM), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 23:18 (nineteen years ago)

Hopefully this sounds slightly more modern. :)

I love "Switched On Bach" though.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 23:57 (nineteen years ago)

thirteen years pass...

I guess I have gone completely sellout. Or.. well, Hongroe is now on all the normal typical platforms, although I guess I will never have a Hongroe CD or vinyl record I can actually hold in my hands.

I see The Man has put an E for Explicit tag on ‘Do It With You’. Clearly 2020 is still not ready for a hippo in a thong.

― Jeff W, Thursday, 19 November 2020 00:05 (five years ago)

OK. Thanks for the image of a hippo in a thong. It was useful for these lyrics (Hell, what did I smoke now???!!!???)
