Apparently some people haven't got a clue what this means, or to what
tune to sing it. Maybe if you listen to the Mickey Mouse Club themesong
at
http://nadav.harel.org.il/pub/mickeymouse.mp3
it will refresh your memory :)
And to make this post *slightly* Linux-related, here is a short explanation
how I converted the horrible-sounding and big 900K WAV file from
http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/plumpton/345/index2.html
into a 160K MP3 file linked above:
I'm using the MP3 encoder called "notlame" (check google - there should
even be an RPM for it floating around). It requires 16-bit samples, not
8-bit samples like we have in the original WAV file. I used the "sox"
utility to make the conversion:
sox march1.wav -w zzz.wav
On second thought, I threw in a lowpass filter to get rid of the
annoying hissing sounds:
sox march1.wav -w zzz.wav lowpass 2100
Now, I could call notlame, with a low bitrate and mono mode:
notlame -b 16k -h -m mono zzz.wav mickeymouse.mp3
And we have our mp3.
