@stratman3142 have to say, well done sir! That’s a really nice arrangement. I bloody despise the original and that’s maintained the feel but made it something I can listen too.

and cut out about 78 minutes which may also help

Yep, that sounds lovely stratman, loving that tone

Chaps, cos I've been so busy for the last few weeks, I haven't managed to do Desperado, but I do have something I did a while ago that begins with a D, from a similar era. Will send that in once I've tidied it up a bit.

Mailed it just now, cheers - cover of Neil Young's Don't Let It Bring You Down.

As I said, I cheated on my entry by recording it phrase by phrase as I worked it out, hence the title I gave it.

Here's a more honest (warts and all) version. But I'll stick with the sanitised version for my entry

I started off doing Desperado

Plan was to record a cover of Despacito but with the lyrics of Desperado instead. Was too difficult to do the Google translated Spanish, and I got fed up at my inability to get decent pop keys and drum  sounds.

I was then listening to Danger Zone and it dawned on me that the bass in the verse had a Rammstein feel so I decided just to do that so I had something to submit. Got it all done within a day!

I'll hopefully get around to finishing the other one at some point as I really want to record sone whiny pop vocals with loads of auto tune just for the hell of it
