Goodbye Mr. Germ

By Jim Wood on September 25, 2016 1:50 am

Mad scientist voice: The National Archives and Records Administration "Goodbye Mr. Germ"(https://archive.org/details/goodbye_mr_germ_1940). D Pentatonic Minor.

Catchy and disorienting in equal measure.  Love the squelchy sounds and awesome vocal manipulations.

Thanks! Most of the manipulations were actually done by the actor in the original movie, who seemed to be aiming for a Boris Karloff/Vincent Price persona.

Niiiiiice! Great samples! great funky feeling in the beginning... and nice string later on...

very nice track man. keep up

I really like this, it's gentle and spikey at the same time. Excellent choice of archive samples too!

The YEEEEEEEES!!!!-sample makes me laugh every time. Great rhythms all over. The strings are beautiful as mentioned before. Grossartig.

Awesome vocal samples, as others have mentioned really like the last third with the strings

Now that I think about it, he actually sounds more like Peter Lorre.

Thanks all! The strings were an afterthought.

Haunting Mad Science feeling indeed. Fun listen!

Delightfully confusing and...dare I say...infectious!  Great source selection and manipulations!

Crazy shit! I dig it! big_smile

Kind of a processed/compressed sounding Primus on Prozac at the start and then the prozac really kicks in at the end.  big_smile  Wonderfully weird yet catchy at the same time.

this is neat

Another great entry Jim. Wonderful sampling....
