  2. For Tune Tuesday this week, the theme is Non-Lexical Vocals. (songs with la, do wops, scats, non words, etc.)

    Going with Jinusean "A-YO" because in the middle of the song, there's a breakdown in which they go "La-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la" a few times.

    Such a classic too!

  3. Tune Tuesday has a theme from @pixiecata of "Non-Lexical Vocals" - so songs with do, do wops, scats, non words, etc...

    How about Everglow's "La Di Da" song.link/us/i/1569744630

    That'll do.

  4. #TuneTuesday for this week has the theme #NonLexicalVocals. I like this one, because it emphasises the voice as another instrument in songs, and that's how I frequently perceive voices in songs anyway.
    Someone already posted Focus' Hocus Pocus, so I'm not repeating that one.
    Instead, I'll use the theme as an excuse to re-post this video I posted just a few days ago!

    I'm convinced that bit starting 4 minutes in is internally called "Noa Gruman shows off her crazy skills"

  5. According to Kit-T today's #TuneTuesday theme from Pixelcats is #NonLexicalVocals - songs with any of the do, do, dos, the la, la, las, the scats, yodels, dowops etc.

    #LisaGerrard sings often non-lexical to get the right sound out of her vocals, which cannot be achieved otherwise when using words that actual would be not nonsensical. 'The Host of Seraphim' song of the group #DeadCanDance, where she's a part of together with #BrendanPerry, is I think an example of this:

  6. #TuneTuesday is after #NonLexicalVocals, songs with a lyric you can't sensibly write down.

    "Adiemus" - Karl Jenkins

    "I didn’t know if this crossover of the European classical tradition with a vocal sound closer to ethnic and world music that I like so much would be successful."

    It's gospel, and African, and Celtic music inspirations into a very different amalgam. The vocals are syllables plucked from the ether.
