This assignment required me to record myself whistling a song that was stuck in my head. See if you can guess what song it is!
Alright, I crashed and burned on my multiple attempts to do the 800% Slow Down assignment, so I looked quickly for a new assignment, and found the Favorite Song assignment, which was meant as more of a “remove the lyrics” assignment. I had a bit of a moral dilemma; my favorite song doesn’t have lyrics. So, I asked Twitter what I should do. The lovely Miss Onarheim gave me some nice advice on what to do: if it was really stuck in my head on a Sunday night, I should just use it anyways. The advice was very good, but her specific wording “stuck in your head” reminded me of the “Can’t Get It Out of My Head” assignment. Magnifique! My dilemma was gone. I’d whistle it instead!
If you can guess what song this is, we should be friends already. I recorded this using a little Sony handheld voice recorder in my closet–my battlestation was nowhere near quiet enough to record anything, and my laptop sits on a fan deck, so my whistling may not have been captured. I had a hard time keeping my whistling going. I needed a drink afterward because my lips felt like the Mojave in summer.
This assignment was to whistle a song to see if anyone can guess it. This audio was fun to do because I always get song stuck in my head.
This was fun to do.
Guess that song!
I chose for my last audio assignment to do the Can’t Get it Out of My Head Assignment for 2 stars. I had seen the assignment earlier in the week and felt a little too self conscious to do it. I kept thinking about it throughout the week, however, and finally said “heck, let’s go for it.” I actually really love whistling so it was a fun assignment for me to get to do. I really liked that it gave me a chance to use Audacity in a new way- to record things. I really feel like it gave me more experience with audio editing and learning how to make a good product. I can’t say much more though, so here it is! Enjoy!
I chose to do this assignment because I am going to this person’s concert soon and their songs are ALWAYS stuck in my head!!!

So this song has gotten stuck in my head several of times! When I saw this assignment this song automatically came to mind. I can’t whistle so me going Do Do might make it easier, I’m not sure. I recorded it a few times, but in the end it was definitely easier with the actual song playing in my head phones. Can you guess the song?
For my first audio assignment this week I chose to do the “Can’t Get It Out Of My Head” assignment worth two points. Everyone has experienced not being able to get a song out of their head. The one I chose to whistle is especially catchy and has been stuck in my head for at least a month now. I’m not the best whistler, but I give it my best shot! See if you can guess what song this is.

This is the detailed tutorial for the Can’t Get It Out Of My Head assignment. It’s a audio assignment worth 2 stars. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Download a free audio recording software like Audacity.
Step 2: Go on to YouTube and fin a song that has a nice melody that you can whistle and listen to it a couple of times.
Step 3: Listen to the song on YouTube while whistling it at the same time.
Step 4: Open your audio recording software and record yourself whistling the song while you listen to it on YouTube.
Step 5: Listen to your recording to make sure there is no background noise.
Step 6: If there is background noise, record it again and make sure your YouTube rack is low enough that you can here it but your microphone doesn’t pick it up.
Step 7: Export the recording as an mp3 track on your computer.
Step 8: Upload the mp3 to Soundcloud.
Step 9: Embed the mp3 in your blog post.
Use some auido recording software, I used audacity, to record yourself whistling a song that has gotten stuck in your head before. Then upload it to soundlcoud. But don’t title it with the original song’s title. Let your classmates guess what song you were whistling. Have Fun!!
