Has anyone actually tried the end of Cry?

[Panzermann11]

This might sound like a moronic question out of nowhere, but has anyone here heard Godley and Creme's Cry featured in GTA 4 and actually tried breaking windows by screaming "CRYYYYYYYYY, CRYYYYYYYYYY, CRYYYYYYYYY!" from the end of the song, mimicking the pitch and all that?

I wish I had that kind of confidence bro. I just quietly sing it while I take a piss every once in a while.

Speaking of GTA 4 songs I love driving around LC in early morning with "Thug" playing.

Just so you know, the vocals at the end of the song were sped up to artificially raise the pitch to beyond what most actual humans can reproduce. It was one of the earliest examples of autotuning in a commercially released song.

So Alvin was somehow involved back then? Good to know.

 I meant to say autotuning  in a  regular pop song  to make it seem like the artist could sing at a range that he couldn't, and not for a comedic effect. Obviously it was always there in novelty songs.

You realize I was saying that as a joke, right?

Your post read the same as something a snob troll would post.  Those are the "experts" on a topic who will sabotage a post by pointing out how wrong it is, because the poster may have gotten part of a fact wrong. For example, you may post that Squidman made his first appearance in Fantastic Four #123, and a snob troll will post "Um, Squidman's first appearance was in the background of a crowd scene in a single panel of Spiderman #55."  In my experience, you have to deal with a snob troll immediately or they will continue to haunt you in every other thread, holding your one mistake over you as if you have no credibility on anything else. You have to either immediately admit you were mistaken, or if you weren't, clarify your post if you didn't. In my case, my information came from an article I read in Rolling Stone years ago about the history of autotuning songs, and they claimed that Cry was the first to use the technique to make a pop singer sound as if he could sing at a higher pitch. I did say "one of the earliest examples" instead of saying it was definitely the first as the article had said, just in case the writer of that article got it wrong. But in a nutshell, you can't sing at that pitch unless something is freakishly wrong with your vocal chords.

Christ in a hand basket, that's a lot of words. I don't think you get it. What I meant is I only mentioned Alvin as a joke, alright? I didn't actually mean to state any misinformation whatsoever, I'm not some kind of "snob troll" nor am I trying to be one.

 

I know Alvin and the Chipmunks were actually around for a long time, but what I said, I'm referring to content on the internet where people label a song as by Alvin and the Chipmunks by increasing the song's pitch higher. Of course I wasn't seriously saying people did that back then.

 

Just in case, I'm a curious man, so I actually wanted to ask a "is it actually possible?" type of question. I already clarified I'm not trying to joke around whatsoever.

OT: No I haven't tried it yet, I don't wanna break half of the glass items in my house with my beautiful singing.
