This one was tricky to get the Blobs to sing without the result sounding like a train wreck. Thought I'd share one more of these -- this is one of my favorite openers from any film/animation I've seen.

The score includes a section dedicated to vocals (of course), but it wouldn't have been as listenable with just that alone unless I only uploaded the first segment from the song. So I had to play with the score a bit and transpose some things to fit more in.

In case you're curious -- the Blobs can be driven by MIDI inputs. Keyboards, virtual devices, if you can feed it MIDI, it'll sing it for you. Depending on where notes from the collective input fall on the various octaves, will dictate which Blob sings. Or, if the input is a chord, multiple blobs may respond at once.

There are also some hacky workarounds to get the Blobs to mouth the vowel sounds they support to get a more natural sound for some songs, though I've not had much luck with it. If you're interested in trying this stuff yourself, I recommend finding a midi composer/editor and a midi loopback driver that works for your PC environment and starting there.
