Chapter 369: A Special Christmas Gift
As a large institution with thousands of scientists, CERN has a complete living and entertainment facilities, and it was not very difficult to find a rehearsal venue here, so when Brian May finished revising the music and lyrics, the group came to the rehearsal room.
"Professor Hawking, we're all fine, it's up to you now!" said Nick Masson and Lu Qiujian after reading Brian May's revised tune and lyrics, for them professionals, this piece can be picked up on both sides of the face, but for Hawking it is a little harder.
"Show me!" Hawking glanced at the score and lyrics, "You guys go to rehearsal first, I'll familiarize myself with it first!"
"Uh-huh!" Brian May shrugged as he took Lu Qiujian to the side and plugged them in to begin rehearsal, torrential guitars, heavy basses, and raindrops of drums ringing through the rehearsal room.
Xia Xiao nodded and beat the beat, and at the same time picked up the paintbrush and left Lu Qiujian's sassy and heroic posture playing the bass on the paper, and Dr. Evans on the side touched his chin and looked at them with interest, and it didn't take long for him to involuntarily step on the beat with his feet.
"Song of Throwing Onions" is a transliteration of a Finnish polka folk song. The gist of the lyrics is that there was a boy who wanted to go out dancing with another girl, but the girl's mother didn't allow it, so they secretly went out and danced the polka all night, but when they came back, the mother was already waiting at the door to arrest someone. The boy told his mother that he had to be with this girl.
So the melody had a heavy dance rhythm, and it was normal for Dr. Evans to have the urge to dance to the rhythm, not only him, but also Dr. Lafayette and Higgs, who also began to shake their heads and twist their bodies.
"Polka tunes coming from next door
I can't even recognize stepping on my feet, oh!
Ieva's mom stared at his daughter cautiously just
Ieva still managed to hide it, you know
Because no one will listen to their mother's nagging
When everybody is dancing happily."
At this time, Hawking was also familiar with the lyrics and melody, and hummed quietly on the side, and had to admit that his unique electronic sound with his song actually produced a special cuteness. He also seemed to be exceptionally pleased with the result, and his singing became louder and louder, and all the listeners who heard his singing could not help but look back at him in surprise.
"Hey, you've really picked a good tune!" Brian May and Nick Masson looked at Lu Qiujian with an incredulous eye, they were both music veterans who were decades late, and naturally knew how difficult it was to find a suitable track for Hawking's electronic sound, and now it sounded like the tune and Hawking's voice were working together seamlessly.
Woo woo, why don't you bring me one! John Deacon, who was just watching the fun, couldn't help but feel a little envious, originally thought it was just a joke. But now it seems that this song has the potential to become a pop hit!
"Hey, Brian!" After listening for a while, he finally couldn't help but speak, "I think you guys still lack a rhythm guitar!" He was like a teenager standing on the edge of the basketball court watching others play, with a longing expression on his face of "Take me, take me one"!
"Do you have a guitar?" John Deacon occasionally makes cameo appearances as rhythm guitarist in addition to playing bass in Queen, and his level of playing is not problematic at all.
Ha, Nick Masson couldn't help but laugh out loud, but luckily he readily agreed! Otherwise, now he would have to beg the band to add another keyboardist role like him, and he is very slippery to play this.
"Geneva isn't a small city! he won't even have a piano shop! I'll take a taxi and buy one!" John Deacon said and went out to take a taxi!
"Don't bother. I remember that Aramis in our experimental group had a good guitar! I'll go and borrow it!" "It wasn't difficult for CERN's thousands of scientists to find an amateur who liked to play the guitar, and soon someone came out to help John Deacon!
A phone call passed, and half an hour later, someone found this place with a piano case with a glint in their eyes. For a music lover like Alamis, it's an honor to lend his piano to a member of Queen!
Veteran John Deacon and Brian May have been working together for thirty-five years, and he has been working with the other three members of the band for a short time after he joined, and Brian May nodded in satisfaction after playing three times in a row. He shouted to Stephen Hawking, "Professor Hawking, we're ready here!
"It's just a piece of music made for me! I'm pretty much done! I'm going to sing it now, you listen. After saying that, Hawking rolled his wheelchair to the center of the rehearsal room. Started singing by himself, "The polka tune from next door makes me unrecognizable to step on my feet, oh!"
Brian May holds the guitar and listens to Hawking's electronic vocals, and looking at Nick Masson and John Deacon, they seem to be satisfied.
"Then let's practice together!" At the end of the song, Brian May couldn't wait to invite Hawking to start practicing together, and the five of them tossed until the afternoon, and finally got the song that was not very difficult.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go to the studio and record this song now! it just makes a special Christmas gift for everyone!" John Deacon said impatiently when he got home.
However, no matter how complete CERN's supporting facilities are, it is still unlikely that a professional recording studio can meet his requirements! So the group drove to the city of Geneva, ready to find a professional recording studio, and finish recording this piece today!
Although Christmas is too short to be completed, it will definitely be too late to make a record and release it!, but with the invention of the Internet by CERN, this song can still be brought to a wide audience before Christmas.
John Deacon's plan is to upload it to the Internet for fans to pay to download, and then release a single after Christmas, which might create platinum sales!
In the UK, a record that sells 300,000 copies can be called a platinum record! In his opinion, with the appeal of him, Brian May, Nick Masson and Hawking, there is no problem at all to achieve this goal! By the way, Lu Qiujian is also a well-known football star! It can also bring about an increase in sales! (To be continued.) )
PS: I decided to finish the plot of Europe before chapter 400, and then I can go back home!
