Just letting the lad know that he can send the new video to the same address in the UK as last time, Shiver has kindly offered to convert and upload the video again, it should be easier this time, as GWB passed on comments from the producer to the lad saying the last video was too long at over 2 hours, and that all the video needs to show is a bit of rehearsals and the singing of the song:

Quote:

Dear xxxxx xxxxx,

Thank you for your email.

I have asked the producer about where he wants the new video sent to, and as he told me before, he has extra work in the UK with another music artist, and does not expect to return to the US until around April 10th, so he is asking that you to send the new video to the same address that you sent the last one to, and asked for a time scale of when you expect to be sending it to him?

Just for reference, here is the address to send the video to:

<address snipped>

He has also asked for confirmation about the costumes, am I right in thinking you are making new costumes for the English version of the Y.M.C.A song so that you look like the original artists did?

He also asked about the photos you said you were going to take, which are to be used for the cover and inside cover of the CD when it goes on sale, have those photos been processed and ready to send yet? If you have them now, feel free to email them to me as attachments and I will pass them on to him, I look forward to seeing them.

Keep up the great work you are doing, and please pass my regards on to all the members of the choir, I have listened to the song many times now and I love the sound you all make!

Sincerely,

Gxxxxx W Bxxx.

That's unbelievable. I almost ("almost" being the keyword) feel sorry for the dude. That's a lot of work only to be told, "Smile. You're on candid camera!"

Good for people like you.

Got a reply from my lad, and he is making new costumes for the English version of the Y.M.C.A song Laughing

Your Excellency,

Thank you for your mail. I have been having a tight shedule to make things work out all these while. I would have replied earlier than now.

Yes! We are now making the English custumes. By the special grace of God, it will be ready by the end of this week or latest very early next week. When we accomplish this, we shall take the pictures and send
them across. We shall also record the music and shoot the video by next week and also send them across. That is, on or before the 4th of April, being wednesday, we shall send all the requirements that the producer
needed. I will make sure that we give the best we can.

It has not been easy but God is in control. I will have to stop here, the cafe I'm sending this mail from is closing for the day. I just rushed in to see if I have a mail and truely as usual, never disappointing, your mail was there! I am very grateful. From the tight shedule you normally have, you still have this time to help a poor soul. God bless you.

May God continue to protect all of us.

Yours sincerely,

xxxxx xxxxx.

Everytime I see this thread bumped with a last post by SP I click it as quick as I can and excitedly wait the one agonizing second as it loads so I can see what has happened in this epic adventure.

^That goes for all of us, Richard Laughing

A new video.... fantastic SP!

My lad has mailed me, at first, when he mentioned YouTube, I thought he has sussed me out after seeing his video on there Shocked

, thankfully, all is ok, he was just worried that YouTube had pulled the Y.M.C.A video link that I gave him to watch at the start of the bait:

Quote:

VERY URGENT!!! THERE SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM

Your Excellency,

I know you are having a tight shedule with official works. I also know that had it been you are much chanced you would have replied my last mail to you. I would have written myself before now if not that I am trying to round up the assignment I was given.

However, I discovered that before we should have sang the music, we should have gotten the permission of the Village People. Or, has the producer done that already? I would have asked this question before now, but, my mind has not actually gone to that. What brought this alive was that I was trying to watch the Y.M.C.A song in the youtube website. It was written boldly in red, '.! I do not know why this should be so. I also do not understand, is there any other group doing this song? Is the producer aware of this development? I am really disturbed. I know what it means to do a song that belongs to another without the other's permission. I wouldn't want to do things that will bring truoble. This was a site I normally in the past open and watch(enjoy) the music. Now, this! (I hope he doesn't see his own video on there Shocked

)

Sir, I would want the producer to see to this and let us know if what we are doing is in the right track. As of the moment, we are rounding up things to make sure he gets the required package from us as soon as possible. Only that with this development, I am really disturbed. It will also be very good if I am informed immediately of the findings/oppinion of the producer.

Sir, I still thank you for the assistance you have been rendering us all these while. I have decided to live a life that is blameless. So, that is why this particular turnout is disturbing me. However, we are still rehearsing to perform for you at one of the white house functions as you earlier mentioned, that is after the recordings in the USA. All things being equal, this shall come to pass. We are making new uniforms that will make our performances more charming and relaxing to watch. We are really getting ready.

Till I hear from you, Sir. I really know you are busy as of the moment. May the good Lord continue to give you the grace to forge ahead; the grace to lead the people under your leadership; the strength to the duties that are always there to be done! God's grace is always sufficient for you. You are blessed.

Yours sincerely,

xxxxx xxxxx.

I replied to him, I had read recently about Viacom suing YouTube/Google, so I told him what I knew, that should settle his mind Very Happy

Dear xxxxx xxxxx,

Thank you for your email.

I passed your concerns on to the producer and he got back to me straight away, he said:

Please don't worry, there is no problem about singing the Y.M.C.A song, I have full written permission from the Village People to do this cover version of their hit song, and in fact, one of the members of the Village people will be working closely with you on this project in the US.

As for your other concern about the Y.M.C.A video no longer being listed on Youtube, that is because International are currently in dispute with Google, who are the owners of the youtube website, International is a large television company, are they suing Youtube for infringement of copyright because of all the people who post videos on Youtube, a lot of the video clips are taken from 's television programs without their permission, so they are suing Youtub concerning that, and tht is why a lot of videos on Youtube have now been removed, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Y.M.C.A song itself.

If you need to, you can still watch the Y.M.C.A video on this Yahoo video website:

http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=218945&fr=

Well, xxxxx, as you can see, you have nothing to worry about, please carry on as normal with your rehearsals and making the new video for the producer, I very much look forward to viewing it, keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

Gxxxxx W Bxxx.

LOL! He uses YouTube? Shocked

You're sailing close to the wind SP. Lets hope he doesn't go searching for "other versions" of YMCA there!

Baiting Guru Joined: 07 Jan 2007 Posts: 2922

@SP and Shiver

I had the same thought... Very Happy

I went on youtube and searched ymca-5 pages and i couldn't see it.

Then i went to the video and the only tag i could find under it was sc@m.

Might be worth pulling, but i doubt the mugu could or would find it if he doesn't know what he's looking for, though i'm sure the other video's from here (4!9e4ter) have had "mugu" comments...

Just me two cents...

Baiting Guru Joined: 08 Jul 2004 Posts: 11857 Location: UK

@ Shiver, yeah, that's why I sent him the Yahoo video link to get him off YouTube Very Happy

If you do a search on YouTube for "village people", the lads video is half way down page 2 Shocked

Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 2:11 pm

If you search 'YMCA' on Youtube you get hundreds of versions - from the real one to College Professors, and weirdos shaving their balls to it. Shocked

On the other hand, if he were to put 'YMCA scammer' you only get one clip, from a Mr S Patroller......

This line in one of his letters cracks me up:

Quote:

I just rushed in to see if I have a mail and truely as usual, never disappointing, your mail was there! I am very grateful.

I trust that you will never disappoint your mugu, SP.

^^^ That's a sig line if ever I've seen one!

Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2007 4:33 am

If the mugu get's to page 2 he would probably have used about six months of his broadband quota Razz

Well done SP what and awesome bait!
