MandragParticipantBlasphemer! Your ears aren’t good enough.
Hehe, blasphemy hurts indeed! I do believe the problem could be that the ears are too good. While “California dreaming” is not as bad as say “Lollipop” by The Chordettes, it is certainly in the same category from this era in recording.

This is turning out to be great fun, I’m grabbing a seat waiting for Nyx to get back to you.

BansheeflyerModeratorWell since everyone and their mother is offering to help with this song, I’ll retract mine, though I look forward to seeing a final product.
The harmonies on both California Dreamin’ and Lollipop are great, but with the sharpness of the sound due to the age and lack of today’s recording equipment I can understand why one would say it’s a painful experience.

MandragParticipantNot trolling! The years I spent in choral education and practice haven’t been kind on my forgiveness when it comes to out of tune harmonies… It can still be a good song though, just gotta doze off some senses before listening!

OddbrotherParticipantI played this song on Karaoke Revolution: Volume 3. If nobody else has volunteered to author vocals for it, I’ll do it.

Remember to give it a good +150 cent tuning in Magma.

OllieMemberSince no one claimed it, I’ll take the guitar part.
I uploaded this RPP with a midi file baked in, flute solo on real keys (less work for you Neki
