CREATE! - Garage Band and Ernie's Song

For this digital literacy lab I decided to explore the many of powers of Garage Band. Garage Band is an audio media creation tool on Macs and is super easy to use.

I decided, with the help of roommate, to record a song for the girl I am dating. This song is from Sesame Street and Ernie originally sings it. I like it, because besides serving other serenading purposes, the song has subtle romantic, frontier, and even atomic age themes.

Let me know what you think!

So, I haven’t shared it yet with my girlfriend; however, I did share it in the digital literacy labs share session after class today. The song was well received and I think the people liked it. I think they were amazed with how easily you can create fun sounding audio media.You should try it out, it's fun!

Lyrics:

Well, I'd like to visit the moon

On a rocket ship high in the air

Yes, I'd like to visit the moon

But I don't think I'd like to live there

Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above

I would miss all the places and people I love

So although I might like it for one afternoon

I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea

I could meet all the fish everywhere

Yes, I'd travel under the sea

But I don't think I'd like to live there

I might stay for a day there if I had my wish

But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish

And an oyster and clam aren't real family

So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar

Go back in time and meet a dinosaur

There's so many strange places I'd like to be

But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon

Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then

I will make a wish on a star

And I'll wish I was home once again

Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above

I would miss all the places and people I love

So although I may go I'll be coming home soon

'Cause I don't want to live on the moon

No, I don't want to live on the moon
