Mashing Buttons

My progress on getting over 9000 points on Queen SingStar song Fat Bottomed Girls has hit a rather large, rather solid and rather immovable wall.

And that wall is mediocrity in my Fat Bottomed Girls singing.

So far I’ve been simply singing the song over and over, expecting that the age old saying that practice makes perfect would indeed be true in this case.  So far however all that singing Fat Bottomed Girls over and over are lower housing prices in my neighbourhood.

Now we’ve established that even though I am a really bad singer I should technically be able to score high scores as long as I get the pitch right.

Practice at this stage just doesn’t seem to be cutting it so now I’m going to get all science’y on its ass.

First stop, get me a white coat because when there’s a white coat there’s science.

Now if I learned anything at science school it was that apart from white coats science also has experiments and the more you experiment on something the more likely you will achieve your goal.

First experiment: Failure.

The first experiment that I conducted on Queen SingStar was to establish if alcohol plus SingStar equals big points.  The answer is no.  After consuming alcohol and performing Queen SingStar Fat Bottomed Girls I did not manage to crack the 9000 mark.  In fact I may not even have come close to meeting previous attempts.

A couple of points to remember too:

• I may have consumed far too much alcohol.
• It hurt the next day, a lot.
• Whilst I know that I did not beat 9000 points I’m not sure what points I actually got as things got very fuzzy
• I sang about an hour’s worth of other non fat bottomed songs whilst consuming the alcohol.

So there you have good people, science at work, I hope you appreciate it.
