Fitzpleasure - alt-J (∆) A Cappella Cover

[mikerophone279]

It’s a wonder what patterns triangles can create, ‘cause that's what this picture is: Triangular ice particles on a glass window. I’m about to believe that triangles are my favorite shape... ツ

Fitzpleasure - alt-J (∆) A Cappella Cover:
Key: E-minor
Song's Vocal Range: E1-E5
Original Song: Fitzpleasure by Gwil Sainsbury, Joe Newman, Thomas Green and Augustus Unger-Hamilton
Original Performed by alt-J (∆)

Lyrics:
Tra-la-la, tra-la, tra-a-la la,
tra-la-la, tra-la, tra-a-la la
Tra-la-la, tra-la, tra-a-la la,
tra-la-la, tra-la, tra-a

In your snatch fits pleasure, broom-shaped pleasure
Deep greedy and googling every corner
La, tra-la, tra-a-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Dead in the middle
Of the C-O-double-M O-N
Little did I know then
That the Mandela Boys soon become Mandela Men

Tall woman
Pull the pylons down
And wrap them around the necks
Of all the feckless men that queue to be the next

Steepled fingers
Ring la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-leaders
Queue-queue jumpers
Rock, fist, paper, scissors, la-la-la-la-la-la-lingered fluffers

They choir:
In your hoof lies the heartland
Where we tent for our treasure, pleasure, leisure, les yeux
It's all in your eyes

In your snatch fits pleasure, a broom-shaped pleasure
Deep greedy and googling every corner

Tra-la-la, tra-la, tra-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, oh, oh, oh, blinded by the lights

In this cover I’m using Khargyraa, a throat singing technique common in Mongolian folk music. The reason I’m using it is to add physical distortion, which is the iconic sound in electrical guitars (music producers call this to ‘fattening the sound’). At the end you’ll also hear my own Sub Harmonic Bass-technique, in a voiceless variant. =)
I sang ‘out of’ at some point, which isn’t in the original, but as Chris Martin puts it: ”Doesn’t matter...that’s music...you can sing whatever you like!”. ;-)
If you liked this song I highly recommend you check out the album
An Awesome Wave!

Thanks @torico for you kind words! ヾ(＾∇＾)
Do you have a favorite song by alt-J?

[torico]

taro. but most any of them really, tho i do like the earlier albums more..

[mikerophone279]

I thought of making an a cappella cover on Taro, but since Fitzpleasure is their most popular song i chose it instead. ;-)
I also like their earlier albums more. Have been listen to Relaxer a lot during summer. ツ

[torico]

Taro would be difficult to make I think. but there are plenty of other songs :)

[mikerophone279]

Agree. (^-^)
