LAST CHANCE FOR SONG WARS CLASSICS
Phew - we're nearly there. The final week of Classic Song Wars allows the boys the luxury of picking their wild card tunes - those that defied categorising or were simply too powerful to be constrained by the format of Song Wars. As ever, the podcast has the tears of laughter and joy stories behind the making of these magical musical moments. And who wouldn't want to know how songs about flu and stumbling on the radio came about? Plus as a bonus there's a previously unreleased track from Dr Buckles as radio pirates meet the cuddly vermin in Ratatouille.

At 27th Aug 2009, Noodle wrote:Yes, in the one of the older podcast Adam feebly attempted (in the nicest possible way) to become part of the twitter community , in the porcess of making a twitter account he realised someone was using his name, so he used a different one or stuck a one at the end. Anyway, at the end of the story Adam Buxton decided to give up and run away from the twitter community because he apparently made a bit of an idiothole of himself. I would expect that Adam doesn't really care if this guy is impersonating, and the more people who think Adam is still "Twittering", the less know he ran away.

It's first tweet says something like 'I thought I'd try this twitter lark again' but follows the usual fakers format. Just thought Adam should know there's another one out there.

I'm supposed to be reviewing their efforts for the web site Die, Shellsuit, Die! but I can't get the fact that he sounds like Joe out of my head. Most disconcerting.

- Record yourself saying something
- Reverse it
- Learn in backwards
- Record backwards
- Flip it back
You get some very wonky voices. It's been done before of course I know but Id love to hear adam and joe having a go.
You can also do the same sort of this with speaking SLLLOOOOWWLLY & LOWLEY and speeding it up or speaking REALLY FAST AND HIGH and slowing it down. This is a bit easier to do so start with this one.
I like to hear a whole song done like this... song wars backwards.
Or just SPEAKING WARS?! Who sounds the least wonk-o!

I am thrilled your fuller-length podcasts are back: Song Wars Ccqlassixques was great, but it's even more exciting to have them accompanied by other items, such as Boggins the Talking-Dog and your personal tales of pain and embarrassment.
