Hey All: Ceevro here. Just wanted to thank all the brilliant people who put in the time and effort to make this thing sound as awesome as it does! Special thanks to Step for doing pretty much all of the technical work.
I'm looking forward to the next Singalong Collab!

Heya! Step here. This is a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson", organised by Ceevro on the Newgrounds Audio Forum. The idea was for a fun collaboration where people would get together and sing along / add instruments. Lots of people sang and recorded instruments for this! You can check out the thread here:

I (Step) was in charge of bringing all the different parts together, and doing the mixing/post-production to make a final product. 99.9% of what you're hearing was recorded live! Here's a full list of credits:

LYRICS
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself.
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes,
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home.
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hide it in the hiding place where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little secret just the Robinson's affair.
Most of all you've got to hide it from the kids.
Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to the candidates' debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio,
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson.
Jolting Joe has left and gone away,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

~X~
This is great! I really like it! Good job, people!
Woo, glad you think so! Thanks.
I'm LOVING these singalongs!
Woohoo, as am I! Thanks for dropping by. c:
I love the natural, old-fashioned country vibe here. Given the title, I'm not sure if this is a cover or what, but I loved the lyrics and general mood/themes. It's mellow and flowy, yet very engaging and fun. Almost seems like an audio recording of one of those people who come in and entertain during kids' birthdays by singing silly, feel-good songs. :) Not sure what else to add...it may be a tad dry, but to solve that "issue" would be to take away from the natural campfire-like atmosphere of it. Also, Step, the mix is so clear that it's like I'm right there at the campfire playing shakers along to the beat! XD Nice work everyone. Keep up the good work. ;D
You are making it your mission to review all my recent uploads haha. Always love your reviews.
Super glad you liked this. It is indeed a cover. The dryness might be an issue... I'm not very good at calculating reverb on real-life instruments. I did add some reverb but I never really liked the wishy-washy sound that reverb gave to vocals. We'll be submitting a Summer of 69 cover very very soon - maybe I fixed the reverb in that one. That said, I'm super relieved you think the mix is clear!
Thanks again for the review. c:
The vocals were synchronized nicely and it had a good indie feel overall.
That was the plan! Thanks for reviewing.
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
