Somebody slowed down Rush's Tom Sawyer to make it listenable

[Joe Rogaine]

I guess I have to write something to get the post to work

Try opening this in several windows 30 seconds apart.  Even better!

I'm not sure it's worth having to look at Geddy Lee for slightly longer.

[spaceprophet]

Can you get Geddy Lee's voice to slow down enough to sound like Johnny Cash?

Now that I think about it, the reverse would be cool as well. A Boy Named Sue sung by Alvin of the Chipmunks might be something I'd put on my ipod.

I was actually thinking that slowed down Geddy Lee sounds kind of like Glenn Danzig.

Now that I think about it, the reverse would be cool as well. A Girl Named Sue sung by Alvin of the Chipmunks might be something I'd put on my ipod.

Is "A Girl Named Sue" the sequel to "A Boy Named Sue" where the girl has a pretty normal life and then grows up and meets her dad and they hit it off right away.

[spaceprophet]

Yeah, I was changing it when you were composing dammit. lol Likely story, huh?

Danzig would be cool. How 'bout Brad Roberts from Crash Test Dummies. He's even Canadian.

Peart and Lifeson playing on The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead from Dumb and Dumber, not so much.

Dude's not a pretty lady.

So this is the alternate-universe version of Rush that debuted in 1991, opened for Pearl Jam and became "that one band I used to see on 120 Minutes all the time"?

[dave from knoxville]

I'm one of those Rush fans you here about every so often, but I think I like this even better. I am going to pull out Led Zeppelin II and see if I can get Plant's lyrics down to Geddy's normal range.

[MikeInManhattan]

This sounds like a combination of Ween and Type O Negative...

[Come on, Jason]

I wonder if half-speed Robert Plant lyrics would be twice as offensive?

What the hell is this song about anyway? My guess is that it has something to do with Ayn Rand.

Ack, don't they suck enough without bringing that troll into it?

[nec13]

They may suck, but that slowed down version of Tom Sawyer isn't half bad. I agree with you about Ayn Rand, though.

[Big Plastic Head]

Don't you people realize that slowing it down makes the song SIX MINUTES LONG!?! That is 90 seconds longer than the original! YOU WILL NEVER GET THAT TIME BACK!

GAAAA!!! I'm chokin' on my own spit over here!!!...

(Actually I thought Rush could have been decent if they had never met G. Lee. That guy is the worst.)
