Parody by JoshG (2020)

All I Do is Swim

My parody song is tilted All I Do is Swim and is based on the song All I Do is Win. When I first started the process of choosing my song and writing my lyrics I instantly got stuck and had a challenge coming up with a song that I could base my parody off of. I just started messing around with lyrics in my head and somewhere I came up with the line "All I do is swim" and thought that it kind of sounded like "All I do is win." Another challenge I had to overcome was Pro Tools itself. Since it’s new to me, it was kind of confusing but I kept practicing and now I understand the basics of it and I’m excited to expand my skills even more with future projects. I grew a lot during this project. I developed my skills of audio editing using Pro Tools. If I were to do this project again I would try to remove the vocals even more than I did. In my song, you can still hear some of the vocals no matter how hard I tried to get rid of them. I’m very proud of the parody song I produced. Overall I’m really happy with myself and the product that I made. This project made me realize that in some ways the other songs represent the creators personalty. We shared our songs in breakout rooms on zoom and we shared how we came up with the parody and I learned that many of the songs were connected to the artist.
