And the award for Best Psycho Girl Song goes to...

kusoyaro, oddly enough.

I received advice on a lot of great songs for this theme but there was always one or two reasons why they didn't hook me... and in all honesty I still haven't found that *perfect* song.

However, I have picked a song to use and having thought a lot about it know I can have fun with it provide I edit it down first. The song is "Burn" by the Cure from the Crow soundtrack - not girl-centric but the lyrics work surprisingly well with the footage. Look at me, I'm going so goth at the moment ^_^;;

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and for sharing some great music.

Hsien, I owe you a cookie.

If you get 4 challenge videos done, I'm going to beat your ass :P

Also, I hope you know someone with the Crow soundtrack, because my copy is in South Carolina.

Yeah, I have a friend round the corner from me who is a Cure nut. Bound to have it.

BTW,

My second comment here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/absolut3destiny/64843.html) was a joking psycho-girl song suggestion :)

If not, feel free to poke me on AIM, I've got a copy of the Crow soundtrack, and I'll be happy to rip a wav for you.

Wow! I'm impressed. You're taking a song that someone else (sort of) chose and editing with an idea you had.

I guess I'm odd, but for me "the song chooses me." I just sort of listen to music and every once in awhile I hear a song and get an idea. This "Bet" video is the first second time I've made a video to a song I didn't choose (first being the NES project).

Hopefully I can be as successful as you in creating videos like that.

At the same time, I've noticed that (at least once) it's really hard to edit when the song didn't choose me. It's harder to see the edits and a lot more occurs spontaneously.

Good luck!

The song usually chooses me too, but there is a unique window of opportunity here that I have to seize, which is why I asked for help.

I did pick the song out of a LOT of suggestions, though ^_^;;

Ah. Well not that you did, but don't take it as a "my way is right and yours is wrong." I guess I don't need to say that though since you do it the same as I do.

I guess I just wanted to comment since you're taking a pro-active approach to something that is fairly foreign to me and probably going to do a pretty good job with it.

Ganbatte ne!

Actually....

Yeah, that would be really useful. I just went to see my friend and she was "Yeah, I have it... I mean, I bought it 5 years ago.... but... um...." Nowhere to be found.

So, any help would be appreciated. You can reduce a wav file by around 40% by zipping, so you may want to try that otherwise it will be a 60mb file.

Thanks in advance!

No problem. I'll just have to try to remember to do that after I get home from work.

Gosh, I woulda just recommended going to a club night with a bad cosplay sign:
"Will offer Pocky for Cure song"

Here's the link to the zip file with the mp3 in it:
