Is there should be somewhere I can go to request somebody to record a song for me? And if not, why not? (BTW, I'd like someone who has the ability to sing to re-record UnTunes:Goodbye facebook screen (Social Networking the wind) for me.) Nominally Humane! some time Wednesday, 02:58, Apr 21 2010 UTC

Well, there's this, but no one uses it. I would ask someone who's done some UnTunes in the past like Todd Lyons or Modus on their talk pages. And no, I'm not gonna sing for you. Stop asking. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} Wednesday, 07:21, Apr 21 2010

I hope this doesn't come off as snarky, because it isn't, but have you tried doing it yourself? I ask because recording an UnTune is the single best way to deflate one's ego to manageable proportions. I had to do three before I found that my hat fit me again. Plus, it's kind of fun to do something you're patently unqualified to do.

Tips:

1. Realize right from the start that it's a lot harder than it looks. Not only are you trying to sing (which you can't do), you're also trying to sing a familiar song with the wrong lyrics.

2. Hunt for a karaoke version. That way you're not singing over a singer who can actually sing.

3. Don't be embarrassed at what should, clearly, embarrass you severely.

4. Be Elton John. By that I mean "in character". It might help if you get the giant glasses, feathers and fabulous homosexuality. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 08:51, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

5. Do screamo. No singing required, just upload the original and say the lyrics are changed. Find anyone who can differentiate between it. It's Magically Fucking Delicious!!! 02:30,23April,2010

6. For best results in song creation, own it like I own your mom.  ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!*  (talk) (stalk) Π   ~  ~  23 Apr 2010 ~ 03:28 (UTC)

If you need something in a higher voice range, ask me - here's a sample of my work. (Warning: acapella version)-- Simsilikesims(♀UN) Talk here. 20:15, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
