I'm Drunk! No More Cowbell
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Wed, Sep 10 at 2:41 PM
Yes, yes, the Will Ferrell/Christopher Walken "More Cowbell" sketch has been totally played out, but here's a handy little app that will overdub cowbell onto any mp3 you can shove in there. Somehow it knows the tempo and drops in cowbell accordingly, along with samples from the SNL clip in question. I found it to be a diverting waste of time for approximately 81 seconds. Let's listen!
How would cowbell sound atop this number, for instance? Press play!

Okay, not bad. The inserted audio samples kind of work atop Girl Talk's already brimming sound collage. But let's try something tougher. How about:

Hmmm. That didn't really work, did it? I guess the application doesn't work for triplet beats, or shuffle or swing beats, or anything not in straight 4/4.
What about something with a slow, quiet opening? Will the handy robot know where the beats fall?
