Fun fact about SuperCat's bottle:
There are all the effects to turn it from bottle to tambourine sounding. The bottle was too piercing and low pitched for the track. The 'autopitch' is just to shift the formants up to the correct pitch. De-noise to clean it up. Gate to remove some room echo so I can distort it with the saturation knob. Alloy to mix and compress it and add some frequencies back which were lost by previous processes (using a new distortion layer) and guitar rig for reverb.
Overkill?
Fresh ears this morning, here's the next version. I made a few changes, mostly volume automation for bits which were clashing, removed a couple of less appealing takes (tons of room sound coming through, too pitchy and causing clashing), cleaned up the lead vocal mix and reduced over all vocal volume.
Feedback welcome!
If you guys want some tricks - you should keep an eye out for free copies of Izotope's plugins. Nectar Elements is a great starting point for mixing your vocals, it's fully AI and I used it here to help round off the lower quality lead recordings ready for my usual processing (using Nectar 2 full version but all manual). In Seneka's recordings it helped bring out her natural tone, in Ceevro's it helped, along with RX, remove some more room verb.
For vocal effects, I used 2 delays and a reverb, all set quite low. Slapback for slight vocal doubling, long delay to fill it out and a short plate verb to warm it up a bit, only mixed in quietly. Would you like the vocals to be 'closer'? Less reverb? Would you like the harmonies to be more present and wider like in the original? Ours is more a 'group singalong' feeling so I went for the current style but it can be easily changed.

Do you like the drums? I have other plugins I could use, or I could mix them differently.
Edit: I can reduce verse backing to 0 if everyone wants. Whatever you guys choose. The leadup needs backing though, just the main verse section would change.
