Speed Cola Speeds up your Life!

Ok...Jingle # 2. Speed Cola.

This one was fun. Just before I headed out to Brazil earlier this year, I was listening to a lot of bossa nova (you know, to get in the mood). At the same time, we were having trouble coming up with a name for the Sleight of Hand machine. I mean...that doesn't really sound like a drink.

But Speed Cola sure did :)

So, given the trip to Brazil, and the newly named machine, we thought, lets do some Latin inspired music for this one, complete with Elena belting out the vocals. Well, she couldn't make it to the studio the day we recorded Craig (we were going to do a duet). Craig sounded so perfecly inspired that we ultimately just used Elena for the 'tag-line'.

I've been asked to include the lyrics next time so here are the lyrics for Speed Cola!

Your hands are slow, your movements sluggish
Your lack of speed, just brings you anguish
Just take a sip, you will move faster
Just try it now! And speed is mastered
Press those lips against the only one that really moves you
Speed Cola Speeds up your life!

Good stuff!

Double Tap Root Beer Jingle

So, every once in awhile something like Nazi Zombies comes along to really challenge a sound designer. I'm not talking about gun sounds, or even zombie sounds...I'm talking about old school radio jingles!

As soon as the idea for the Perks-a-Cola machines came up, the opportunity to do something fun was obvious. So, we licensed some cheesy sounding music, and our internal writer (Craig Houston) came up with the lyrics which we recorded and produced in house. Male vocals are sung by Craig Houston, with Elena Siegman doing the backup 'kid' vocals. Yeah, the same Elena that sings Lullaby for a Dead Man.

Anyway, Double Tap Root Beer is our favorite, so I thought I'd share the high quality stereo version of it. Enjoy!

Here are the lyrics:

Verse
Cowboys can't shoot slow
Or they'll end up below
When they need some help
They reach for the root beer shelf

Chrous
Double-tap double-tap double-tap rootbeer (4x)

COD W@W: DLC 1 is OUT

Hey all...so the new maps are out for COD: W@W! We have put enormous effort into these maps, and we're all excited to seem them become available to you all.

Sonically...well, there's a ton of audio in all of the maps, but specifically in the new Zombie map. We really wanted to scare the crap out of you, so we remade all of the zombie sounds, and mixed the level in such a way that you are going to be constantly jumping out of your seat!

After its been out for awhile, I'll have a few new posts specifically about some of the more hidden audio features of the map, along with some new audio content to be streamed from the site.

GO GET THE MAP PACK!!
