Why would you mind such a fitting word?

crua = hard, harsh, difficult, tough
cruálacht = cruelty
airgeadra crua = hard currency

now we're talkoing poetry!

Now you are sucking up

Since this hasn't surfaced anywhere else yet, and since someone requested it back in the Disney Songbook thread somewhere, I've put up my very bad recording of Shane doing "Zip a dee Doo Dah."

It sounded wonderful in person. But this was recorded on a mobile phone and the quality is not good at all, so consider yourselves warned.

(Not a direct download, so I hope this is in accordance with forum rules. But if there's anything wrong with it please let me know.)

That said, enjoy

It's 26Meg! Might be worthwhile converting to MP3 or something, currently it's a WAV file which is why it's so enormous...

Appreciate your efforts though.

Ok, thank you for pointing that out. It looks like my computer automatically made it a wav file when I put it on the harddrive, and I paid no attention.

I think I've corrected the problem. Let's try this again in a much smaller mp3 size:

(I hope whoever asked for this song on the other thread has found it over here.)

Thanks for the reports, great pictures Strummercalling, and we don't mind lousy quality, just put that recording up somewhere please!

Christine, I've finally put it up here:

Many thanks, strummercalling, despite the quality what a treat! Wish I had been there.

Many thanks for that (downloading it this very second). Look forward to listening to it in a tick, and thanks again, good on ya!

Hello. It’s the newbie again.

Since discovering this forum I’ve been catching up on some of the older threads and searching for discussions of gigs I’ve been to etc.

I stumbled upon a thread relating to the ‘Forest Of No Return - Hal Willner presents the Vintage Disney Songbook’, the concert that Shane took part in at Jarvis Cocker’s Meltdown last year – and realised that there didn’t seem to be any complete recordings of Shane singing Zip-a -Dee-Doo-Dah.

I was at the Forest Of No Return concert and did film Zip-a -Dee-Doo-Dah – and I got the complete song. I haven’t posted it before now as the picture quality is a bit substandard – Shane is a bit overexposed and the camera is not quite in focus. However, as there would not appear to be any other recordings of Zip-a -Dee-Doo-Dah on YouTube, I’ve decided to post it anyway.

I’ve tried to darken the picture and sharpen it up a bit and also tweaked the sound slightly.

Hope it was worth the wait!
