Verse 1
Because I was afraid of Art
When I was just a girl.
My mum sent me to Ninja school
To give Kung Fu a whirl.
But then one day I learned some skilz
And started making GIFs.
The greatest thing I ever did
Was learn to GIF and RIFF
CHORUS:
Um diddle diddle, diddle um, diddle ay x2
Verse 2
Jim Groom he danced around the world
And Tim went down the Slide
And CogDog threw me off a bridge
And Ben pushed me aside
We had a little Rumble time,
The Reckoning occurred
Now all my Friends are True to Me
and don’t use the Mean Word
CHORUS:
Um diddle diddle, diddle um, diddle ay x2
Verse 3
So when the stress has got your goat
There’s no need to dismay
Just summon up a magic GIF
And it will make your day
Use Photoshop or Firefox
And GIF away your strife
And use your skilz most carefully
Because they are #4life
CHORUS:
Um diddle diddle, diddle um, diddle ay x2
Verse 4
When d-s-1-0-6 peo-ples
Make Art and share online.
This joyous fun community
Enjoys a real good time!
So pass the time of day with us
And do Daily Creates
Make GIFs with ds106
And hang with all me mates!
FINAL CHORUS
Process and Attributions:
- I took a single frame from my ThoughtVectors GIF, and cropped it square.
- I rotated it 1/8 of a rotation successively (Edit>Transform>Rotate), just eyeballing the 1/8ths, saving out 8 new files.
- I ran each file through the Hyperbolic Image Generator, using the
- I assembled the 8 hypberbolic images into an 8-frame GIF, using a delay of zero seconds for each frame.
- I wrote lyrics for my song.
- For the music, I located a MIDI version of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
- I imported the MIDI file into Garageband and tweaked the various instruments, pumping up the bass and the melody.
- I went into the Village Studio and recorded my beautiful singing tracks.
- I labouriously slaved over the mixing decks to get the levels just right.
- I pressed the Share button and exported my music.
- I uploaded my KaleidoscopicHyperboliciamTalkyTina.gif and my KaleidoscopicHyperboliciamTalkyTina.mp3 music file, and then used the John Johnston secret code (thanks again, again, John!) to add the press-the-GIF-to-hear-the-music trick so that you can press the GIF to hear the music while you look at it. You can also press the GIF a second time to turn off the music to save the batteries when you are done. Thank you for conserving the batteries.
Although I had a lot of this work done the day I posted the single frame image for The Daily Create 1285 , a little mission got in the way and it took me a while to get back and into the studio to complete the audio recording. But now it is all done and ready for True Friends to enjoy!
Well, bye!
