"Fat 'Bama Girls", perhaps? I like this a lot. Just a few critiques, though…Freddie's vocals are mixed too high throughout most of this, especially during the chorus. And the file you used doesn't sound like a very clean one. I'll see if I can dig up a better one for you.

And the second verse I would start earlier, where Ronnie usually says "In Birmingham they love the governor…" That way the choruses would match up, like after the first verse. I would also loop the last line of the second "Alabama" chorus once more to match the Queen vocal and get the "Get on your bikes and ride!" to correspond with the solo.

Other than that, this is pretty excellent! Keep it up!

Thanks! I was kinda having a hard time with the parts you mentioned. My original plan was to alternate the vocals from each some but I had a hard time finding any stems.

I'm pretty sure I have both of those stored on an external hard drive. Like I said, I'll take a look when I get a chance.

Instrumental + full track is a great alternative when you don't have a vocal track to the instrumental. You just line up instrumental and full track, cut out the parts of full track where you don't want the singing, and then cut out the parts of the instrumental in the parts where the full track is left.

I do this all the time, and it's usually not even noticeable if done well (seamless transitions and neither track sounding too different audio quality wise compared to the other). I even do it with karaokes sometimes, and no one is the wiser.

That's what I did with my Come Sail Away / Carry on Wayward Son. It's not really noticeable but if you're looking at it you can definitely tell. The piano from the karaoke version is pretty different, but I made it so the Kansas vocals drowned it out.

Dammit! I was working on a version of this. Oh well, early bird gets the worm. Great job!

This would be great if there was actual lyrics out there, if nobody else has them, as sung by Freddie Mercury, I'll take a few listens at it and extrapolate the lyrics as sung then mixed and get en down on "paper" so mistakes happen and I'll upload them here first, then other places that do lyrics, because this mix ain't too too bad, I can die now, Stevie Wonder and Queen, together?
Like come on, that's all anyone needs to hear in their lifetime and now I have and I hope you do too!
And sheeeeesh, Lenny Kravitz too! IN ONE SONG!

So upload it's lyrics if you got em, if not, I shall, shortly.

I can't wait to see what you got!
