Here's a quick and dirty version of Space Oddity with a tiny lyrical change for a reference.  I'll have to do a good version sometime...

Space Oddity Demo

A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by the way he walked that he'd drunk more than his share.
He stumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street

Ring ding deedle didly-aye dee-oh, ring di didly-aye-oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Later on, two young and lovely girls just happened by
And one said to the other with a twinkle in her eye,
"See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt."

Ring ding deedle didly-aye dee-oh, ring di didly-aye-oh
"I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt."

They crept on on the Scotsman as quiet as can be
And lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see
And for them to behold beneath the Scottish skirt
Was nothin' more than god had graced him with upon his birth.

Ring ding deedle didly-aye dee-oh, ring di didly-aye-oh
Was nothin' more than god had graced him with upon his birth.

They marveled for a minute, and one said, "We'd best be gone.
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow
Around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show.

Ring ding deedle didly-aye dee-oh, ring di didly-aye-oh
Around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show.

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees
He lifted up his kilt, and he gawks at what he sees.
In a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes,
"Lad, I don't know where you've been, but I see you won first prize."

Ring ding deedle didly-aye dee-oh, ring di didly-aye-oh
"Lad, I don't know where you've been, but I see you won first prize."

The Scotsman (Scottish traditional)

For my latest class assignment we had to create a soundscape based on an image.  I picked the cave image shown as my cover art and for the soundscape, I used a combo of sounds I personally recorded while in Switzerland (Lake Geneva from inside a castle dungeon, rain from our B&B) and sounds acquired in the public domain (water drips, wind).

Cave Soundscape

I got a new toy, and I decided I had to play with it late at night while everyone was trying to sleep.  This is the result.

As a newborn, my mother called into a radio station and had them dedicate this song to me.  I tend to return the favor whenever I get a chance.
