The Tra La La Song (More Rhubarb Beta Testing)
14 years ago
My submission for the "Show Us Your Junk" segment of Funday Pawpet Show. I can't seem to get my video actually uploaded to the site, and now the deadline has passed, so I at least wanted people to see it.
Performance chosen was take #6, the only take I didn't get completely frustrated with. I can see basically nothing of the bass while in suit, and performed it completely by feel. This is one of those times when Auto-Tune really would have helped! Oh well, the suit was really good at hiding my frustration level!
FA+

Actually an old jazz bassist told me once that your choice of bow entirely depends on how you masturbate :3
pretty good job there
Never heard of Funday Pawpet Show. What's it like?
The song sounded close enough, and I'm sure the Banana Splits used to lip-sync and pretend to play on their show a lot. They probably did it because large furry paws are not too good at operating some instruments...like string instruments and flutes/other wind instruments. You could always practice with your eyes closed so you can get the feel of where you need to place your hands on the base/piano. For the piano, might I suggest you get some different shaped stickers and place them on key keys in order to help you determine where your hands are at on the piano.
1. Rhubarb's dialect is fantastic. It's one of those great character idiosyncrasies that makes you look at the character a new way when you hear it, and gives him a clear, distinct personality.
2. "Modulate!" is now the catchphrase of the day.
"Modulate!" is always a good trick. It never fails to give your efforts that Branson-like sheen.
