Outa_Spaceman vs. Neural Circus: Play That Funky Music White Boy....

Once upon a long time ago I used to go to discotheques to jig about in a frantic manner in an attempt to attract ladies...
There was one particular 'hit' that always signaled time for me to leave the dance floor and take a beer break...
'Play That Funky Music White Boy' by Wild Cherry...
I thought it was 'trite'...
Imagine my surprise, on messing about with my new Stylophone Beat Box, to find myself singing that self same hit...
I thought I'd record my own version to find out if I could overcome my dislike of it...
I sampled all the sounds from the Stylophone and built them up in 'Reason' (I use the 2.5 version...)
I then got down with my bad self and did this:


I think I may have a go at 'How Long' by Ace...

I thought I'd add some cute little eyes to the 'machine'...
Linda took one look at it and said they were boobs and
droopy boobs at that...
I just can't work out what goes on in some people's heads..

There are all these little white patches on the left that look like they could be lights, and I was waiting for them to light up too in multiple colours.

"please keep still and only watchen astaunished the blinkenlights."

Point taken Glyn...
I maybe should have made more effort...
The animation is just 2 frames running at 25 fps...
I just needed something quick to add a focal point...
I'm working up something a little more elaborate on the blinking lights front for the next song but have become distracted by animating a flying cornice...
