Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
General August 13th, 2008
I’m not behind on this: I’ve known about and have been enjoying Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog the past few weeks. I may have put a few things up on twitter about it, but I didn’t think it needed a whole blog post.
That is, until I learned some of my 1.1 readers had not yet seen Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. If you have 45 minutes, if you like Neil Patrick Harris and the funny, if an equestrian underlord is making you do it, and if that doesn’t make sense to you: go watch Dr. Horrible. Now.
Dr. Horrible. Tell your friends.
I can’t count the number of freeze ray or Captain Hammer jokes were made this weekend. Ideas were starting to form about team costuming the Dr. H group for Halloween. I’m on the look out for lab coats and welding goggles. Last night, I did more Horrible research (I have an MS in searchingness) Since these were new to me, I figured I’d share them here for y’all.
That lead me searching for ringtones (TK mentioned those existed,) and I found not only ringtones, but music and sheet music.
James Tauber: Dr Horrible Ringtones – renaming the m4r extension to mp3 worked for me in WMP.
James Tauber: More Dr. Horrible had not only MP3/midi type things, but transpositions that had the vocal tracks removed — great for karaoke.
(If you believe that I didn’t close the windows, crank up the laptop, find a lyric page, and belt out all the songs at the top of my lungs, you don’t know me very well.) We’re so doing a sing along Halloween skit.
Finally, I found Moses Lei’s Dr. H. page, complete with sheet music, and great MP3s. He doesn’t have as much arranged as James right now, but I like his stuff alot. Have yourself a listen. (And call me; I enjoy his 90s ringtone.)
Somehow, after even more yak shaving, I wound up (as I’m wont to do,) at YouTube. There’s lots of DRH fan covers. Not all are good (but the last one, wow.) Who knows, maybe we’ll have a video up there soon.
