has anyone ever tried to release covers of Kingdom Music? Generally, I'm thinking you have to have the artist's permission. But what if you change it a little? I have heard some covers that I know there was no permission. How do you do this legally without the society's OK?
I'm saying this because it would be a gosh darn hoot to parody some KM classics into some raw, bootylicious techno gabber house. The possibilities are endless.

i remember when i was forced to go a few times in the past by my crazy mom, i used to sing my own lyrics as loud as i could... Profanities and all, then i got "counselled" by an elder, then i just stopped singing so loud... HA HA

Right on. I just think it would be awful for someone not to put some of this stuff on wax and spin it at a rave or something. Plus you can put appropriate samples in like robots, military sounds, s&M, things of that nature.
By all means! If you've got the talent, do it! It would be freaking hilarious.lol
I would stay away from that Kingdom stuff if I was you. It's full of demonz. When I was a teenager, I would visit a friend in another congregation. I made it my practice to "sing praises" as Bob Dylan. It was fun just to crack him up. (Oh what crazy kids we were...sigh) I remember some of the adults nearby liked it as well. Perhaps they were secretly upset all creativity left with the piano.
Professor,
If you can do this, you will be my hero. I would love to help,too.

The Target holiday commercials are notorious for recreating songs. Listen to their "joy to the world" especially.
They change the lyrics, change a few keys, added a little salsa flavor to one spot. Then, voila! A song that everyone knows but is different from the original.

I guess that's why I'm like this. I work for Target Corp.
