In the comments section to this post about Pat McCurdy’s anthem to the Green Bay Packers, I mentioned that the duet I did with Pat on his album Show Tunes is not on iTunes. (The whole album isn’t on iTunes). Web-guru Mark Lippert, who helped me with my own migration on my site, also runs Pat McCurdy’s site, and he just provided a link to the duet.
Pat wrote it to be sweet and silly and light, and my favorite part about it is that this is a live take, the two of us in the recording studio in Milwaukee together, singing together. Neither of us are singing with playback of the other. We ended up punching-in my “hormonal scream” later, but other than that, this is live. The first take, too. I’m proud of it. Lots of memories wrapped up in this song. It’s called “You and I Are Just About to Fall In Love”.
You know, I knew you could sing, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard you. Wonderful voice and a wonderful song!
Thanks, Donald – we had a lot of fun doing it!
Very nice.
That’s some mighty fine singing there. Step aside, Dolly and Porter.
Thank you!
Bravissimo!
Holy crap Sheila! You should be proud. It’s a very cool song and you did a seriously kick-ass job of singing it. :-)
I always would burst into laughter when he would sing “the moisture in forbidden places” – he added that line later, and I was like, “Are you freakin’ SERIOUS?” Well, you can tell it’s two Irish Catholics singing the song if they are “forbidden places” – but it always made me laugh. I held it together for this take though.
Yep. Lost it on the “moisture” line. And your little hormonal scream is perfect.
I mean, it’s such a gross un-sexy word. “Moisture?” When he debuted the line to me, he gave me this hilarious apologetic look, like, “Sorry, couldn’t help myself.”
I am proud (and horrified) to say that the hormonal scream was my idea.
My new favorite earworm!
love it, sheila; you sound great! it’s light, and catchy, and probably going to be running through my head for the rest of the day ^_^
Bybee – ha! Thanks.
I like the drum-beat that opens the thing too. So ridiculous and fun and dance-worthy. I, for one, was glad that I didn’t have to start the song, because I would have had to come in without a starting note, and in the middle of that drum thing. You can hear a little syncopation that tells you the song is starting, but I was afraid I would miss it.
And right before we started recording, the two of us stood in the sound booth, headphones on, and I was nervous and still as a statue. Pat looked over at me, reached out, and shook me, HARD, saying, “RELAX!!!!!!!”
That’s great! A keeper.
