| Cool! I have done a (great) tune for 'Ribbons of Blood' and it's written as a crooner-style ballad (think Sinatra doing 'Strangers In The Night' meets Tony Bennett with shades of Pavarotti) for Joker in Batman. It's kinda like a very 'tongue in cheek' lament; Joker is pissed off with Batman and thinks Gotham is grey and dreary, and time for a change. Trouble is I need to write more words, and develop the song, and then I might try and demo it. Here are the lyrics (so far): 'I'll decorate this city, in ribbons of blood, On ev'ry single avenue, in ev'ry darkened street... I'll decorate this city, in ribbons of blood, With ev'ry beating heart I pull, from ev'ry soul I meet... 'Cos killing is my business, and business is good, I'm hunting 'em down, in ev'ry damn neighbourhood... So Merry Christmas Gotham, hope you like what I do Merry Christmas Gotham, it's my one gift to you Merry Christmas Gotham, hope you drown in the flood... As I decorate this city, in ribbons, ribbons of blood' Middle 8 'Where's the Batman when you really need him? Where's the caped crusader? Can't he hear Gotham City pleading mercy tonight? She's crying out for a hero to save her... > > Enjoyed that, quite cool. > > > > Spoken word 'vocals' are good and very 'Tim Curry'ish'. > > Nice editing on the 'medley mix' ('Speed of Light' is a > > great song, and had the best 'effect'). > > > > BTW - The Bat (Chernabog) is perched on top of the church > > steeple, and not the 'highest tombstone'. > > > > > > *blushes* > > Thanx > I wrote the draft of the monologue at 3AM and I > (basically) read off the paper as I was recording it. > Thanx for pointing out the "steeple" thing, otherwise I'd > have completely forgotten and I've been meaning to go back > and fix a few things.
