Get Thee to Belding
alt text
Hello, Shkers. I've been a way a bit, mostly because the Firefox app for sharing pictures hasn't been working for me. Anyway it's summer now and celebrating my first summer vacation as a 3rd grade teacher I spent about a week making this funny song.
"Get Thee to Belding" is a thank you note to Dennis Haskins, the man behind the amazing character Mr. Belding from Saved By the Bell. Using Audacity I combed every episode of the regular seasons (minus the beach vacation, clip shows, etc) and looked for "clean" clips of Belding talking without other sounds. I pulled a few teacher sounds too, especially from my favorite Mr. Tuttle.
Using a midi controller I made a song in MixCraft to resemble the theme song while not being a direct copy. I arranged the sound clips to make a sort of song with a chorus. My favorite part is the break, with what I'm hearing as serious quotes from Mr. B.
I think it came together nicely. I tweeted it to the man himself, who "Liked" it but sadly did not retreat. I posted it on reddit and got no comments. So it's here, just for grins.
I hope you enjoy.
