By now you've got the kazoo/"Your Covers Blown" video practically memorized right? Well whatever happened to that kazoo melody? Did Timbo ever reuse it?
Well one of our readers hit us up (thanks Jasonn) and noticed that after listening to The Pussycat Dolls' "Halo", the melody was reminiscent of the kazoo melody. I was skeptical so I called in the big gun, Czar, to take a listen and tell me what he thought. He agreed that the guitar melody in "Halo" is the same as the kazoo melody in the video. I'm still skeptical so now it's time to ask all of you. What do you think? The same? Similar? Not ever close?
Its similar but obviously not the same.
ReplyDeletestr8 track though.
I will say this: When I heard Halo, I immediately thought of the video. But now after actually seeing the video, I will say it's not dead, on, but cot damn they're similar. You have to think that Tim was trying to recreate that same feel with Halo.
ReplyDeleteSame melody? No
ReplyDeleteKazoo? Hell yes
Covers Blown should be on Keris album it should be her next single!!
ReplyDeleteevery timbaland track sounds close to every other timbaland track these days. This is nothing new.
ReplyDeletealso compare "Halo" with that new leaked track "Say" by Tim ft. T-Pain. (not "talk that") very similar.
or 4 minutes/Elevator.
The first time I heard Halo, I remember thinking "hey, it's that song with the kazoo"
ReplyDeleteSo, yes I think it's an extrapolation
It's definitely similar, but not the same.
ReplyDeletevery similar, but somewhat diffrent
ReplyDeleteAt least i would say that the intro to Halo is definitely similar to the Timbaland remix of "Saw theme", especially the drum patterns, played in the beginning of the Timbaland intermission on the Justin FS/LS tour
ReplyDeletehaha i think if you listen to "Make It Rain" you'll realize more of a similarity than this kazoo melody.
ReplyDeleteNo all of you are wrong... Its the delay lama....a vst plugin monk with a kazoo...I found it through this blog a while back.... listen to the monk aww in the beginning...he just played the monk to note with the kazoo....
ReplyDeleteI guess Tim's making the kazoo melody as the hook for "Halo". Its pretty obvious.
ReplyDeleteits very very very very close ...very :D
ReplyDeletefor me, its "devil woundlt recongize u" melody..!
ReplyDeleteTAKE A LOOK AT " COMING DOWN " , its a D.O.E new shit, and produced by timbaland, its really great great great !! check it out !

ReplyDeleteCRAZY!
Yo, I hear little reference in the PCD's track.
ReplyDeleteTimbaland just added a snippet of Chris's "Scream" on his MySpace.
"Coming Down" is not Timbalad as we stated.
ReplyDeleteuh, i thought it was the silent hill melody.
ReplyDeletesilent hill it IZ... on the kazoo. and partially used in devil wouldn't recognize u. this about halo... is totally something else
ReplyDelete"Halo" doesn't sound ANYTHING like "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You"... you guys must be on something.
ReplyDeleteand Fuck the delay lama... that was Timberlake doing that singing in "Devil", I say!
sorry but DOE-Coming down sounds too much like last years Adam Tensta-My Cool to me.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMTB_LJKIh4 BTW
I thought 'coming down' produced by Danja?
ReplyDeleteTo Moe, it is Danja produced.
ReplyDeleteAnd umm yeah, Your Cover's Blown is probably the track I've been dying for since this vid came out.........think it'll make the final cut of Keri's album???
That shit is fire!
I'm not sure, but haven't Timbaland used the same "whistle" in Justins "My Love"? Right around the chorus.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think...
- Nebelong
What song is playing? The Keri Hilson...
