The music style reminds me of the Final Fantasy VI opera scene. Very nice!

About the "meaning": I don't know if three sceners lecturing a single indiviual is a good example for good manners ... *shrug* Imho it would have been better to keep it completely general and leave that obvious reference out.

Really great. Quality of the voice is amazing. Stereo well used.
And the message is spot on :-)

Reminds me of the good(>) ol' times when I was singing in a choir. I think most of the time lyrics was also pretty messy and could be easily misunderstood, but that applies to 99% of choir-pieces at least :) Add hall/church reverb and it's going to be even more messy. I warned you.

Chords and utilizing SID voices is insane, phoenemes and filter-work is godlike. Any religious and non-religious choir would be happy to sign odes to you Shogoon.

OK, this morning I woke up to one of our cats puking out a hairball. Got up, cleaned it up, went back to bed. Instead of instantly falling asleep again, I hear "Be ciiiiiivil, be ciiiiiiivil" playing in my head on repeat. Just that one part. I love what you've done here, but fuck you for ruining my morning sleep!

@mutetus Of course it is disaster on 6581, but (cause you are experienced 6581 composer) You are most welcome to create on old sid something more or less like this by yourself. Challenge accepted? Would be cool.
@Rastlin maybe Digger could help You? a bit;)

I played this on Vice, and when i closed my eye's, i could not make out a single word.
Jammer's Mr Marvellous still ranks as possibly the best when it comes to these types of sid vocals ^_^

Brilliant, totally love it :-)

I wonder know who is the drama queen that inspired this? For historical purposes they should be named :-) .. or we all just continue in our belief that it's Krill ;-)

Seriously though, awesome stuff. Weird for sure - but we love that.

What iAN CooG said. I had to run it to enjou it fully. It doesn't work for me as a standalone music, but with the lyrics it's awesome. Great job.

C'mon guys, it's a fun art - feel free to interprete.
@DKT It's more like an idea of some CSDb guy (or guys) who sometimes acts like an ass. And I like chords - chords are good, maybe some of theme sounds better. Why I did that one? There were so much inspiring drama lately on CSDb forum that I simply couldn't resist myself.

Before I knew what this is about, it took me a while. But after I came home from work, I watched the production and listened to it calmly, I was just speechless. Maestro Shoogon Bravo Bravo! Congratulations to all of you gentlemen!

Really great! Kind of reminds me of the work of Wendy Carlos. Great visuals too. Only thing that nags me is the two dots after "SO". It must always be one or three. :D
The red keys are a clue F A C D?

Incredible handling of the various syllables; I'm simply blown away by your skills here. It's a real doozy harmonically, too.
