[Vocaloid Oliver] Kookaburra (Australian folk song)
Lambent SonataSong details
Here is Vocaloid Oliver singing the Australian folk song "Kookaburra". I made this for several reasons: because I love all things Australian, and because I love Oliver, and because I think Oliver's voice is perfect for this song, and as an excuse to practice making music in FL Studio. Melody and lyrics were written in 1932 by Marion Sinclair, a music teacher at Toorak College, which was a girl's school in Melbourne. This song is about a Kookaburra, a type of bird indigenous to Australia, famous for it's laugh. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kookaburra (And also search YouTube for "Kookaburra" to hear this bird's famous laugh.) Vocaloid sequencing, instrumental arrangement, bass melody, music synthesis, audio editing, and video compositing by me, Robbie Hatley, aka "Lambent Sonata". Video borrowed from YouTube user Blankparkzoo (a zoo in Des Moines, Iowa). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il98W12WqH4 Lyrics of "Kookaburra" follow; first the original lyrics, then the lyrics as I had to format them for the Vocaloid 3 Editor in order to get Oliver to pronounce the word correctly. Original: Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Merry merry king of the bush is he. Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh. Kookaburra, Gay your life must be. Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Eating all the gum drops he can see. Stop, Kookaburra, stop. Kookaburra, Leave some there for me. Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Counting all the monkeys he can see. Wait, Kookaburra, wait. Kookaburra, That's not a monkey that's me. Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail, Gets a boo boo in his tail. Cry, Kookaburra, cry. Kookaburra, Oh how life can be. Formatted for Vocaloid 3 Editor and Oliver: coo ka boo rah sits in the old gum tree ee merry merry king of the bush is he ee laugh coo ka boo rah laugh coo ka boo rah gay your life must be coo ka boo rah sits in the old gum tree ee eating all the gum drops he can see ee stop coo ka boo rah stop coo ka boo rah leave some there for me coo ka boo rah sits in the old gum tree ee counting all the monkeys he can see ee wait coo ka boo rah wait coo ka boo rah that's not a monkey that's me coo ka boo rah sits on a rusty nay ell gets a boo boo in his tay ell cry koo ka boo rah cry coo ka boo rah oh how life can be Software used included Vocaloid 3 Editor, FL Studio, Audacity, and NCH's Videopad.
