I like the Brian May touch on the "Rule Britannia" opening. You don't have a Red Special lurking in the back, do you?

Alright, you got a buck from me.
When the solo came I almost spit my coffee onto my console.
Great job James, and I love the artwork!

Done! This song rocks, and it brilliantly negotiates the fine line between stupid and uh... clever. 
And 'tis a fine service you have provided to us MOTU-types o'er the years with MOTUNATION and UnicorNation before it. Thanks!

Thanks all for the kind words and support! I just put up the "Dubly" version on iTunes and I'll email a special download link to anybody who got the regular version.

Yikes! I just (after Xx listens) noticed the Hail Brittania melody in the intro. CRIMEY! More to this Steele guy than meets the eye. (didn't see the earlier poster's ref to it
)
Also the major to minor movement also bears further study.....

Haha! Thanks! Actually the verses are also the melody to Rule Britannia.
I turned the song and video around in about five days from getting the idea. No time for an original melody, but one in the public domain works fine!

Re: hilarious
There sure is, guv. How about the accent? Better than many American actors trying seriously to be English. James did you live in England for a while?tommymandel wrote:More to this Steele guy than meets the eye.

Didn't think I did that good a job on the accent. Never lived in Britain, but as a kid, my friends and I could recite nearly every Monty Python sketch of movie scene by heart.
