Schnip Your Sister

wintersox???

from reddit...

Quote:
I work part time at a recording studio, and yesterday we had a really unusual client.

This young dude comes in, really enthusiastic, really impressed by a leather couch, had sunglasses riding on top of his ball cap, and Wolverine sideburns. He was by himself, and he'd biked there.

He had a DVD with his 'beats' on them, which were a collection of really baffling music that was so poorly engineered we couldn't use any of it. We ended up reworking everything with samples and drum machines, and afterward we got ready to record his vocals.

He didn't want us to be able to see him when he did his vocals, and laughed uncomfortably when we prompted him to sing in front of us. Once he was by himself out of our sight (where he remained for the majority of two hours), it changed completely.

The transition was insane. He started telling us specific parts of the song to start recording at, doing multiple overdubs and rhythmic scat vocals. Between takes, and sometimes during them, he would laugh enthusiastically and say "Alright! Alright".

After a three and a half hour recording session, I'm left with this bizarre rap/rock/pop/autotune song about wanting to date somebody's sister. He was very, very specific about the spelling of the title: Schnip Your Sister.

This is the important part of the story.

After he heard the recording, he flipped out and said "It's perfect. It's perfect." but looked really, really fucked. He was staring at the computer and his pupils were huge. He was grinding his teeth and looked all sweaty and uncomfortable. We didn't want to bring it up, and he wasn't talking at all.

As we were 'bouncing' his rough mix for him to take home and listen to before we did the final mix, we started talking about him paying us. He just stared in silence at the studio operations guy for minutes. At this point we were kind of wary that he might be on drugs or something and unable to pay us.

He suddenly said that he had money in his car, which was bullshit because he'd biked there. We decided to just let him go, because... well, just obviously. Fuck that.

Anyway, here is his song. I uploaded it to YouTube.

I think the lyrics in the chorus are "Can I date your sister/Can I fingerpaint(fingerbang?) her/take her to a cafe on a sunny fuckin' monday can I buy that bitch a latte take her to lessons in karate", etc.

I don't know how to convince you that this isn't just a song I made myself. I promise you that the genius of Schnip Your Sister lies not with me, but with an insane person who goes by PARADOX.

    You should make one thread for the post and one for the video, then 2 for people to discuss the post and 5 for people to discuss the video, then 16 for comparisons to wintersox.

    Paradox = Wintersox

    Thank you for the free art.

    Edit: Or maybe he should thank the studio for the free art.
