It's 1am, sometime in late 2006, and Steve and I are packing up some equipment from Roop's basement when Steve reaches for something. I ask, "What is it that you're grabbing?"... with that phrase, an hours worth of singing and 5 more people joining in from being drawn in by the noise downstairs, the following hilarious recording was created.
Me, Steve, Jim, Jamal, Roop, Freyger...
We called ourselves Beige, and our feature song "What is it that you're grabbing" is the main focus of the recording, but as the complexity of the song grew with harmonies, background vocals, etc... spinoffs of the song also arose, covering everything from the Maple Leafs' stanley cup run, a number of people's personal relationships, etc etc.
It will only be funny if you know the people I've mentioned, but if you have nothing better to do for ~30 minutes, give it a listen, because the development and evolution of these songs is really really funny. (Then again, it might be a "you had to be there")
BEIGE - WHAT IS IT THAT YOURE GRABBING
That reminds me actually, in that song I attempt to sing the "Steve has Scurvy" song I'd just written at the time, so heres a quick recording of that song too in case its of any interest to anyone... haha, I really should've recorded this for real with a non-99cent mono pc mic.
STEVE SOMAN HAS SCURVY
