# Can someone make this?
Every now and then I make something, just because it's got into my head and won't go away until I get it out.

An example would be this thing I did last year, which had literally been on my mind since 1979. youtu.be/Y1HtCZo5LH8?si=a_-FWwDSZrca15FR

Now I have a thing in my mind but
(a) I have no idea how to realise it (I have NOT considered putting the question to AI) but
(b) I'm pretty sure someone on here will know how.

The idea is just this:
I'm a parent of a 5 year old. He *loves* Numberblocks on CeeBeebies. If you don't know it, it's one of those shows that worth the licence fee on its own.

The theme tune is annoyingly catchy.

Now: I have two things in my head about this, and I'd be very, very happy to hear them done 'properly' if someone can.

First: The opening. I've got my boy singing 'One two three four (sound of vomiting) ! Chunderblocks! Six seven eight nine (sound of vomiting)! Chunderblocks!'.

I have no idea how to isolate the backing track of the theme tune and no musical talent to sing over it... which brings us onto:

Second: Stuck firmly in my head is the idea of having the theme tune never end, or at least go on for far longer than is comfortable. It's fairly important it starts out sounding as close to the original as possible, but then just... keeps going.
As in the lyrics would be:
'One! And another one is
Two! And another one is
Three! And another one is
Four! And another one is
Five! And another one is
Six! And another one is
Seven! And another one is
Eight! And another one is
Nine! And another one is
Ten! And another one is
Eleven! And another one is
Twelve! And another one is
Thirteen! And another one is'

And so on, going down a note on each line until it goes beyond the range of human hearing and into infrasound.

Is this possible? Can someone do it?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to exorcise this musical demon from my mind by making this audio happen. As a side benefit, it will completely blow the mind of my youngest, who is called Cosmo.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can and does achieve this.

# Please...
... do not imagine there is any sense of urgency here. I had been kinda thinking about the Rolf Harris/M video for 45 years.

Any time in the next 3 years or so would be amazing.

# for number 2 you could record yourself doing the lyrics then use something like Audacity to change speed and pitch after each 'is'
caveat: there's probably simpler tools these days, simply doubling speed and pitch might create something inaudible quite quickly

# Agree
I recently saw that Audacity has a free plugin called OpenVINO. It separates vocal and backing tracks. Haven’t tried it, but then you’re part of the way.

# You want something like Melodyne
which can isolate separate parts in a single recording and let you edit the notes, and remove parts altogether. You could easily make your instrumental version like that. It's about 600 quid, so pirate it.

Then you can either sing it yourself, burn a rainforest and evaporate a great lake with bullshit AI vocals that everyone will hate, or use a Vocaloid/robot singer that only 90% of people will hate.

# 1: commissioning people is a thing
2: WAWYNBEB?

How to isolate the music for making your own edit: click here and follow the on-screen prompts

A repeating song going on forever and getting higher has already be done the best possible way: Dolly's "I Will Always Love You" with about a dozen extra key changes tacked on the end. Can't find a link right now sadly
