100% Gold Star Expert Vocals performance on Wave of Mutilation by Pixies as it appears in Rock Band 2 for PlayStation 3.
As per the rules of the challenge, the original vocals by Francis Black are muted, and my microphone is turned up so the only vocals you hear are my own.
I'd forgotten how much fun this song is to sing until yesterday when it came up in a random setlist.
This is a tricky song for anyone who's not used to octave shifting. I actually used to shift around mid-phrase to hit all the notes (high and low) when I first started playing, but after over a year of singing in Rock Band it seems I've got enough confidence and pitch control to sing the entire song in its original pitches.
Pro-tip for anyone who still struggles with the "wave"s: they start and end on the same note, so if you can't sing the entire scale, just jump back up to where you started on the word and you'll score it just fine.
