The Logic Off Topic list

Taking all the swear words out just makes the 'genuine article' all the more appealing...

What was left when you were done?

  Last Christmas I had to buy the Eminem CD as a present for my 12 year old
  Niece. The language was ok for a 12 year old so thought  my fair minded
  sister, however was definitely not a good idea for my nieces younger
  siblings to hear "Mother f*^&*er" and so forth.

  The result was that my sister asked me if I could burn a CD copy with all
  the swearing taken out! for my niece to play infront of her younger sisters.
  Thinking it would only take an hour or so, I agreed.  Using Logic and or
  Cool Edit, it took me EIGHT HOURS, there was that much bad language and
  shock value lyrics. At the end of the session I felt my brain would be
  irretrievably twisted by the experience- that explains a lot then..... :-)

  Using Logic my SW1000XG and Rode NT1, I then sampled an Eminem loop, and
  made a spoof Eminem rap tune for my sisters kids-

  "My name is....My name is...... My name is  ..funky unky John"

  Cheers

  John
