righteous dude!

laaa laa la la la. woh woh woh woh wohhh wooohh woh. ah ahh ahhhhh ah. nah nah nah.
back up vocals can be fun!
let's discuss the possibilities!

Since the beginning of pop music, singers/songwriters have been yearning for a way to take their songs and turn them into masterworks. They thought and thought about ways to transform their "pieces of art" into timeless classics and it seemed that all the ideas they tried wouldn't do the trick. They tried adding guitar or synth harmonies, doubletracking instruments, and even doubletracking the lead vocalist. Alas, none seemed to work.
One day, while in the studio recording their newest album, "Return of The Cheese," the bassist from "The Cheese" hummed along to the lead singer's vocal track. "Hot Damn!" exclaimed Paul Mitchell, "that's it!"
"Huh?" Righteous Dude responded.
"Bro, all of my musical career I have been searching for the key to success and greatness as the most totally radical songwriter of all time. And now, I have found the final color to finish my 80's synth-pop painting!" Paul way past psyched. He was stoked and ready to unleash his discovery upon the underground world of synth-pop boppers.
Right away they began recording back-up vocals in all the right places; ooo's and ah's after important phrases in the verse and full blown gang choruses in the chorus.
"Totally radical!" Paul rejoiced. "This rules man."
The Cheese's hit single "This rules man," from the hit record, "Return of The Cheese," in all its back-up-vocal glory, went on to save pop music from bland, un-original, un-awesome purgatory.
So kids,
Next time you record back-up vocals, think of Righteous Dude from The Cheese and be thankful... be thankful.

That story was in fact, 100% not true. But, it was sort of fun.
my band recorded a new song that has back-up vocals in it and it sounds kinda cool.
