Royal Rap

Greeting subjects I'm queen Lizzy
cant chat for long as Cameron
keep me busy
i stay at home i like to butter crumpets
when i come to the theatre i expect the trumpets
i hang with the commoners joke don't
be silly
the next king is gonna be my
grandson willy
yes i am the monarchy they love the most
come to England I'm a gracious host
As a queen paupers know that I'm the best
check out my crown and my double D breast
if I'm down at the track and i see
my horse get shredded
i find the winning Jockey and have his wife beheaded
i don't collect stamps theyre just shots of me i can print
my own money at the mint
for free
i say british labour is what keeps us strong
but check my kitchen staff theyre
all mexican
before i go to bed i enjoy a cup of tea
but im up every hour as it makes me need a wee
this is the end cant spit for long
im off to rock phillip in my hot pink thong.

Reasons for choosing the project (eg, links to other subjects you are studying, personal interest, future plans, knowledge/skills you want to improve, why the topic is important):
 Our reason for choosing this objective for the project is that we are both musically creative and have the same sense of humor, resulting in us wanting to make a parody style song.

The final decision for what we are doing for the extended project is called the Royal Rap.

We're managing our use of time by working together with our ideas, contributing different creative musical attributes towards this project. We're going to finish off each piece, him with the lyrics and myself with the soundtrack to go with it. On Friday the 16th we will go and rehearse the entire thing together, fine tuning each part of the soundtrack if we are unhappy with it at any stage and making the lyrics fit nicely with it, again altering any parts of the lyrics if they don't quite sound right. Once everything is in order we will be ready to present on Tuesday the 20th.

we have reverted back to our original idea in this late of a stage, and have decided to roll with the plan of creating an original piece of music, him writing the lyrics and me producing the soundtrack. We will have this entirely done for next week's performance on Tuesday 20th of March.

USE OF RESOURCES:

For the Royal Rap we will use a ZOOM H2 to recod Zac's lyrics as a basis to look back on and improvise. For the soundtrack I will use Acid Xpress 7, a musical program for creating songs with tracks from EMI. On Friday the 16th we will combine the two and playback, then do some editing to the soundtrack if need be and change some lyrics if need be. We will have the project ready for Tuesday the 20th.

We looked at other comical original songs and decided to run with a fast paced type of lyrical
