Oh Wow

Brazilian Infomercial fodder.

Circa 2003, a producer guy I knew asked if I would help out with some kind of contest, writing a song using snippets of audio from a Brazilian infomercial. I said, "sure!" and made some music, throwing in some of the supplied info-chatter. After I'd sent it to him, the Producer did some "producing" to this track (EQ-ing it and adding some blips and bleeps) and I never heard about it again.
This is the raw track I submitted.

(Get Flash to see the track player.)

Ha! I like it. I've never really taken the time to play with sampling, and I keep meaning to.

That producer now lives in a villa in the south of France, which he purchased with the proceeds from your efforts. But hey, that's the music biz!

Good god, no, man! Don't do it! It'll eat your soul!

Something in the opening riff reminds me of this one. The fast-paced voices sound like a narration from a football match. But your aaaaaaahs are unbeatable. Did you use effects on those?

Just to piggy back on micayetoca's comment, your guitar and "ahhhhhhs" deserve their own song. There's a really sweet sound there.
