Jun 29 2010Multi-Track Pokémon Theme Sung Acapella
This is a video of an elvish looking guy with really pretty lips singing every part of the Pokémon theme acapella and multi-tracking them all. I've been dancing to it in my out of my underwear all morning. It's like he's singing straight to my soul!
With a total of 58 different audio tracks (lots doubled or tripled) and LOTS of editing, I finished it :). There is also 16 different video tracks that come in and out.
*ALL SOUNDS ON THIS RECORDING WERE MADE VOCALLY*-The drum shots were transcribed and recorded shot for shot
A lot of different effects have been used on this recording. Pitch correction, yes pitch correction, was used on lots of the backup tracks - although none on the lead vocals. While I didn't necessarily care to "correct wrong pitches", I used to create a continuity and consistency of sound because I was imitating instruments. The guitar sounds have distortion and tape delays and everything has significant EQ's as well... The drums are a prime example. Also some use of pitch shifting.. no I can't sing that low lol.
But I CAN sing that low is the thing. So if you wanted to get together for a duet sometime we could probably do that. Unless you're serious in which case I'm busy. Like, forever.
Hit it for the video.

Thanks to Michael, who still remembers the acapalla group from the gameshow version of Where In The World is Carmen San Diego? Rockapella? They were the shit.

Pokemans!
4. DickySimms - June 29, 2010 11:41 AM
This MIGHT be cool if it was NOT a theme song of a children's show. This guy took this much effort to sing the Pokemon song. The Pokemon song.
5. Zazu - June 29, 2010 11:42 AM
Just how many v-neck Tees can one guy own?
6. CakeWalk - June 29, 2010 11:44 AM
At least he is committed to the lyrics.... and wearing every v-neck shirt ever made.
7. The Homosexual Agenda - June 29, 2010 11:53 AM
He owns a lot of V-necks
8. wes - June 29, 2010 11:54 AM
He should just wear the bottom half of shirts so we can see all of his chest
9. Tennist0 - June 29, 2010 11:55 AM

11. Butte Force - June 29, 2010 11:58 AM
You know, I have v-neck shirts that aren't... cut.. low... is he trying to show off some cleavage here?

Um...impressive, I'm sure he's very happy with himself, that is, until he goes back to school this fall and he gets "Marowak-ed" in the poke-balls, and "Ma-choke-ed" to death for being such a "Dewgong". He might as well "Ma-chop" his "Weepinbell" right off, cause he will never get his "Cu-bone" wet, or even get to "Lick-i-tung" with any one cept his "Mr. Mime" doll. Ahhhh, soak it up baby.
13. chicken dinner - June 29, 2010 12:02 PM
never seen so many v necks in one place
14. dave - June 29, 2010 12:08 PM

15. Shank - June 29, 2010 12:08 PM

16. internetLuddite - June 29, 2010 12:16 PM

18. Sninja13 - June 29, 2010 12:20 PM
@5 My thoughts exactly! Where do you even buy V necks anymore?
19. Farrells - June 29, 2010 12:24 PM
Nice screencap of Ash's crotch.
20. Abscold - June 29, 2010 12:30 PM

21. dongstuffer - June 29, 2010 12:32 PM
"You know, I have v-neck shirts that aren't... cut.. low... is he trying to show off some cleavage here?"

22. Erik - June 29, 2010 12:34 PM
I dont care how well you sing, you're still singing the pokemon song.
23. Wappity Wap - June 29, 2010 12:45 PM
I'm gay, and I'd call this guy a fag.
24. kasidid - June 29, 2010 12:48 PM

25. beepharoni - June 29, 2010 12:51 PM
That would have been cool, if it wasn't so gay.. I lost a little bit of respect for my self because i watched it all the way through...
26. Spounz - June 29, 2010 1:00 PM

27. ! - June 29, 2010 1:02 PM

28. John - June 29, 2010 1:02 PM
Why all the hate for the pokemon theme? IT'S THE POKEMON THEME. You can't hate the pokemon theme. I mean, it's the theme for pokemon afterall.
29. Ed - June 29, 2010 1:13 PM
POKEMON!
30. joosh - June 29, 2010 1:19 PM
multi-track....multi- vneck.....bummer.
31. Max Boivin - June 29, 2010 1:20 PM
Can you imagine if it was a big bald and bearded man signing instead of a little feminine guy with all kind of v-neck?
32. Colombian Jai - June 29, 2010 1:28 PM
Gay ppl have even less things to do lately huh?
33. Godless person - June 29, 2010 1:28 PM
OMG I KNOW THAT GUY!
Also, he's not guy. He's got a girlfriend. It's through her that I know him.
34. lloyd - June 29, 2010 1:29 PM
comments are too funny!
35. internetLuddite - June 29, 2010 1:35 PM

36. Jabberw0ck - June 29, 2010 1:35 PM

39. Mollywobbles - June 29, 2010 1:37 PM
While pokemon happens to be 'bitchin' I find myself distracted by his alarmingly loud collection of gaytastiic hispter v necks.
40. BLEEPBLOOP - June 29, 2010 1:37 PM
BETTER THEN SMOSH!
41. ORLY - June 29, 2010 1:38 PM
I love the haters. Lets see you record 20 different parts that all fit perfectly, also sing in half a dozen octives and hit every single part.
Oh yeah, you fuc*ing can't sing!!? And you can't record because you are too gay yourself.
Seriously people, who cares if he's "gay" or not. Obviously he's going to be rich with an ability to sing like that. Unlike everyone here.
42. Malice - June 29, 2010 1:44 PM
Who cares if he's a good singer?! He's GAY!!!
43. pskaught - June 29, 2010 1:52 PM
quite the collection of V-neck shirts
44. Lance Bass - June 29, 2010 1:56 PM
Do you think he's gay?
45. coso - June 29, 2010 2:02 PM
gay... just gay.
46. pokemon master vanessa duran - June 29, 2010 2:07 PM
ppfft i could do that
47. autotune - June 29, 2010 2:08 PM
might be impressed if it wasnt all autotuned. Nice way to make a viral video i guess
48. asyrith - June 29, 2010 2:10 PM
Man, extremely low v necks aside, that was pretty cool. I'm a singer and can really appreciate the hard work that goes into that...
...until he uses auto tune. Freaking auto tune ruining the world.
49. PolleN112 - June 29, 2010 2:12 PM
@41, it might have been impressive if could acctually sing the song acapella. But like 47 said, autotune. And not just on the part he claims.
50. p00dy - June 29, 2010 2:20 PM
@12 -- Epic.
51. dondons1987 - June 29, 2010 2:28 PM
now do it backwards!
52. Franco - June 29, 2010 2:32 PM
Wow, this guy owns a crap ton of vnecks. it's like he went into American Apparel and just bought every single available colour of it. Sadly this is actually the smallest vneck they have... anywho, it's pretty impressive that he got all of this to match up like it does. it takes some time to get things like this to match. I tried once just for a song that has only three parts and it was a total disaster lol
53. Med3vil - June 29, 2010 2:44 PM
I could not, in good conscience, even finish that. Don't get me wrong, I have a great appreciation for the amount of time put into it (the number of v-necks alone are evidence of merely a fraction of the time). It also has more auto-tune in it than T-Pain...
54. Kazaam - June 29, 2010 2:53 PM
this chick has no boobs why is she wearing V necks?
55. Absocold - June 29, 2010 3:07 PM
Man, I just watched the whole thing... I feel sick. Whats witht he though guy pose at the end?
56. Luis - June 29, 2010 3:12 PM
That is a lot of V necks
57. Cash Moneyman the Third - June 29, 2010 3:15 PM
That's not so much a one-man accpella remix but more of a one-small-waifish-boy accapella remix.
The head bopping going on in the middle purple v-neck spot filled me with a murderous rage for some reason too. That was odd.
58. pinkeye2010 - June 29, 2010 3:29 PM
ahah this is sssooo gay!!! ahahah!!

61. Tim - June 29, 2010 3:41 PM
I gotta say, i'm not a fan of the V-necks
62. Weirdo - June 29, 2010 3:42 PM
only schitzophrenic people think of this
we are looking at true genius here
63. Avalon - June 29, 2010 3:49 PM
ok geekologie, if you are going to stalk my facebook wall, you can at least give me credit, lol.
:-*
64. pierre - June 29, 2010 4:46 PM
Andy from the office should do something like this!!!
Ra-da-da-doooh!!!!
...nailed it!
65. ND - June 29, 2010 5:43 PM
6/8 shirts are V-necks...
66. MAUL0r - June 29, 2010 5:55 PM
apparently he had to catch all those V-neck t-shirts....
67. corey - June 29, 2010 6:08 PM
gay
68. Shotintel - June 29, 2010 6:30 PM
You gota give the "boy" props, I mean he did sing what would seem to me like a tought song and he some how managed to listen to the pokemon song enough times to actually pull it off. that would have driven me nuts anyway.
69. Andrew - June 29, 2010 6:52 PM
Do you own ANY tops that don't have cleavage necklines?
70. Robot Owl - June 29, 2010 7:22 PM
pretty damn cool. although some of the beats without lyrics remind me of Katamari Damancy...
71. Deadsupremist - June 29, 2010 8:17 PM
sweetmercifulfuck. sometimes catching them all isn't enough.
72. radlad - June 29, 2010 8:20 PM
Super Gay.
73. akonn - June 29, 2010 8:23 PM
wtf this kid is gay
interesting tho
74. TheNewDork - June 29, 2010 8:37 PM
is this dude related to clay aiken?
75. Glo - June 29, 2010 9:07 PM
Uhh.. Anyone notice at the end he wrote something on the video saying "Sorry Ladies, I'm Taken!"...
I hope he means by a man. If not... I fear for the woman who is dating him and apparently thinking he's straight!
76. fxcvs - June 29, 2010 9:31 PM
! there is a "web//site" named "blackwhitesingle.c/o/m" for dateing or relationship, black or white singles can go there to find someone sexy or beauty online !!!Interracial dateing or relationship is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!You are guaranteed to be your r the one of them

Wild pants bulge appears!
79. fonda - June 30, 2010 12:45 AM
U kno.. Its not his blatant homosexuality thats disturbing (if it is to u, u ought to b ashamed of urself). Its not even the fact that he sings with autotune thus sounding robotic at some points. what really gets me is the simple fact that this was good entertainment. On some level.
80. Enflamed - June 30, 2010 3:33 AM
This dude could very easily sustain the entire V-neck market on his own.
81. Stephanie - June 30, 2010 4:06 AM
Adorable! Except for the strained face when he sings.
82. Apple Hater - June 30, 2010 7:19 AM
@5 I was thinking the exact same thing
83. Migosama - June 30, 2010 8:13 AM
well..I saw the otehr clips on tube jsut for curiosity...and yeah..kinda gay...he says he is "straight"...like when everyone though Elton John was straight... only a bit "soft"..Guy will have hard time deciding when he will come out of the closet...
BTW, I think his family or some relative owns post production stuff, I just saw some Mics and other stuff at the background that you wouldn't find on a normal home..
84. sfgn - June 30, 2010 8:16 AM
gay
85. Henry - June 30, 2010 10:50 AM
Did a strong sense of nostalgia hit anyone?
86. Worried about squirrels - June 30, 2010 10:56 AM
This kid is talented, you can't deny that. He's not gay, he's metrosexual. He'll fit perfectly into the Hollywood set.
Overall: Impressive
87. acecream - June 30, 2010 11:47 AM

I think that is the holy grail of all comments
88. dparks - June 30, 2010 12:46 PM

Awesome, it's pokemo guys most of the demography between 18-24 grew up with this song imprinted in their head. It's cool xDD
91. stinky - June 30, 2010 7:29 PM
LOL @85. el oh el, at you, eighty five.

94. meemo - July 1, 2010 5:08 AM
There's nothing wrong with being a homosexual or living a gay lifestyle. Everyone is entitled to live their own way, expressing themselves how they feel fit, and enjoying all the freedoms and privileges afforded to every single being. I mean, if you can find another person in this world to love you for who you are regardless of sexual orientation, race, color or creed, then god bless you.
That being said, this dude is a king size, extra nougatty, white chocolate and caramel faggot.
