Well this is new. In practise for a video that I hope to upload sometime soon and also for general awesomeness I have recorded my own version of the four chord song. If you don't know what that is then you can youtube "the axis of awesome four chord song" but basically the last 50 years or so most of the music released has all used the same 4 chords. I don't think anyone has ever made a video with 101 songs before but I thought I would.
Apologies for the few mistakes, mainly when I got the piano wrong. Performing in front of an audience even though it is just a camera made me nervous. But apart from that I hope you enjoy. I recorded this so many times because I had to do it one take as I am unable to video edit :P And I kept on making mistakes. And eventually the first take with minimal mistakes my voice had worn out so I had to wait until the next day to record this take. But the advantage is that I now know this song so well I was able to struggle through it at double speed which is amusing. Hopefully I shall record that too.
Here is a list of the 101 songs.

ReplyDeleteI love the four chord song, and you just added so many more to the mix- Amazing work, Octa! Great playing, great singing, and a damn good memory :P There's no way I'd be able to remember 12 minutes of lyrics to over a 100 songs XD
