Lead Vocal on How She Boogalooed It

[runnersdialzero]

True but isn't funny how you never noticed it at time from episode to episode? Only years later during monster boxset marthons! See also Family Guy (Lois much less nasal in s1), Futurama (Bender & Professor change voices between s1 & s2). Every character in The Simpsons has a had a voice change or character mannerism shift except Bart & Lisa since the early days.

Eh - you don't notice it because it usually happens in a subtle way over time. Half the voice actors probably don't even notice it until watching an older episode. Homer Simpson, yes, but many others, it wasn't intentional. People just get more comfortable with their characters, I guess.

Has anyone else noticed just how much Cartman's voice has changed over the years? Does anyone other than me still watch South Park?

Its called puberty. Crack a biology book much?

[Mike's Beard]

Puberty? In the South Park universe Cartman's still eight years old!

Yes, because I'm sure that Cartman, since '97, has been voiced by a pre-pubescent teenager

I've probably seen 4 entire shows....it's funny, but it is crude humor. I'd much rather pop in Airplane or The Burbs for a good laugh.

In answer to the initial question: it sounds exactly like him....and since reading this thread I haven't been able to listen to this song without laughing at the idea of Cartman singing it 

[SloopJohnB]

From Wikipedia:

Although he had originally voiced Cartman without any computer manipulation, Parker now does so by speaking within his normal vocal range with a child-like inflection. The recorded audio is then edited with Pro Tools, and the pitch is altered to make the voice sound like that of a fourth grader. Parker says to achieve the effect of Cartman's voice, he simply uses the same technique when voicing Stan while "adding a lot of fat to it".

Sorry SiP.flac....nearly every post I've read of yours lately has had, what seems like, a sarcastic/negative vibe to it...

I suppose AGD is right: if you don't put an emoticon after a joking statement on this board people will never know if you're serious or not

Hey if Mr Love stole your bike then blanked you at a gig you'd be pissed too!

Its okay, I shouldn't have responded so harshly.

Why can't we all just get along?

I've noticed in the last couple of seasons that Cartman whines a lot more than he used too..."You guys still think I'm coooooool". Honestly, as much as I love South Park, I could do with less Cartman...kill him off and have Towelie permanently take his place!

I tend to find the best humour these days seems to come from Stan's dad Randy.

I thought Stan's dad was named Milton.

[JaredLekites]

One of my favorite songs off of Wild Honey. A upbeat track from a very downbeat period.

Stan - and for that matter, Mike's - father's full name is (he's still alive !) Edwin Milton Love.

By the way, does anyone know who is the song's main architect? Judging by the über-hip acid youth speak of the lyrics I suspect they are mainly by Mike, but who came up with the music? Joint credit, I know, but who composed the main body of the song? Carl?

[bgas]

What I want to know is who came up with the original title, Good Lord How She Boogalooed It, and why /how it got shortened.
( hope I don't have to wait two years for a good answer)

[Quzi]

I love how in Will and Grace's first season, Megan Mully slowly raises the pitch of Karen's voice each successive episode until it morphs into that infamous nasal wail that seems to be the magic ingredient for success in many tv shows (and some Californian band you may have heard of )

[Mark H]

   I will never unhear Cartman singing this now!

It hasn't been quite two years, but does anyone have more info, at all, on the original title?  I can find four references to it: the 11/15/67 session logs in Badman, this post (which I imagine was based on the same), a Twofer track list on a Beatles fan site, and, the reason for my curiosity, the Capitol Stereo-Pak (4 track) tape that I own.   

Song title changes are a very, very common thing, but seeing it on the Muntz tape makes it seem like a last-minute change, one that I figured would be well-documented and oft-mentioned (especially with the drama over the  "God Only Knows" title.) 

So, anyone?

[Autotune]

Lead vocal = sped-up Carl.

[rn57]

One of my fave WH songs - I think I put it in my BBs top 50 here a few weeks back.

Only a guess, but my guess would be that "Good Lord, How She Boogaloed It" is a bit awkward and doesn't flow as nicely as "How She Boogaled It". That could be the why. As to the who and the when, I have absolutely no idea.

Thanks for the reply c-man.

The explanation I kept landing on was that it was simply transposed from the track master during the banding, but from Desper's description of the WH mixdown process (e.g. re-amping onto the final two track), it doesn't seem likely that Muntz would have done a separate banding process for the 4 track (although the reel release does have noticeably different fades, the most obvious being "Darlin'", which doesn't fade out until after the lyrics from the second chorus ["I was living like..."] come in, exposing the technique of copying and splicing single run-throughs chorus/verse backing tracks.)

I guess a combination of WH's short recording schedule and the presumably increased lead time of a third-party manufacturer (also, Capitol's spectacular attention to detail) could explain how a provisional title would make its way onto the slick.

Man, Occam's razor is no fun...
