Subject: That's Amore & Manic Monday

Written By: skittlesking on 09/02/07 at 11:35 pm

Does anyone have or know where I can get a decent backing track to the classic Dean Martin "That's Amore" that doesn't have some overpowering chorus singing the intro--and sticks to the instrumental?  I know I'm not terribly picky on midis, but you'd think a classic like this would be decent--but every midi sux, and every karaoke has powerful chorus intros. . .it's really unbearable. . .

Manic Monday by the Bangles is also proving quite troublesome. . .I'm not necessarily unwilling to pay for backing tracks provided they are complete, fairly priced, etc etc. . .but while I am pretty open minded on my backing tracks since afterall parody IS about the lyrics, these That's Amore and Manic Monday ones make me want to puke worse than the guy who inspired "Smelt You on the Bus Line"

PLEASE if anyone can help, contact me. . .Thank you for your time

As always,
Below Average Dave

The problem with ones that you pay for is that you don't find out they're crap till after you've paid for them (I bought a quad-cd set which is pretty much unusable :( ).  'fraid I can't help - best of luck with the search.

You might want to work on this one a bit, but it's not horrible: http://www.smickandsmodoo.com/lyrics/thatsamore.htm  (That's A Midi)
In the section near the bottom of the page titled "Pop Tunes" you can find this song:  http://lovedones.com/musicLovedOnes.htm (Manic Midi)

Maniac I've worked out. . .

but that That's Amore is absolutely gawd awful. . .I'm sorry Matty--I couldn't alter that enough not to cause nausiation. . .That's My Cooking is not looking good for backing tracks--I can't afford to buy the 20 dollar professional ones--I don't charge for my downloads. . .I may have to start being selective on what I choose to record. . .I won't give up just yet, but I may have no choice but to start writing parodies without the premise of recording and then choosing which ones are my favorite for recording purposes.  At least until I win millions in the lottery or get that $80 an hour job I hope to someday find  ::)  Dannit. . .this kinda sux.
