What's up guys!
Τoday, we're gonna be answering the question that absolutely no one has asked
''What if ''Señorita'' was by Billie Eilish?''
Yes,I know this is the third ''Señorita'' video that I've done on my channel
but I promise this one is gonna be really,really different guys
Our goal today is we are gonna take that
steamy ''Señorita'' song and totally transform it into dark Billie Eilish.
I got this idea by watching this Youtuber Ali do a video
''What if ''Bad Guy'' was by Meghan Trainor?'' and thought it was really cool
so Imma put a link to that down below and now guys, let's get into it!
Okay guys first things first
It's not a Billie Eilish song if it doesn't have a super sad piano
Actually, some of her songs have really sad guitars
but we're gonna use a sad piano
So let's listen to the original ''Señorita''
Oops,that's not the original hahaha
I think we need to take that and we need to slow it really far down
Billie Eilish songs are always really slow
And also,I think we need to make the chords a little bit darker
So the original ''Señorita'' ends with this progression of E minor to G major and sounds kinda like
But I think we need to change that to E minor to this
E dominant 7
Yeaaaaahhh
So I recorded those piano chords really,really slow and it sounds like this
Wait for it, it's slow
Ahhh~
All right, this next chord,I also changed from F major to a D minor
Yeahh,D minor
Ahh~
E
Now the E dominant 7!
That's the creepy one
I think one of the most important things in a Billie Eilish song is just that bass that low ends
so we're gonna add some of that
Okay
Let's add some drums over top of that but you know,before we add drums,there's something we need...
Alright, let's add that beat
Okay, that's sounding pretty good but it's not quite something like Billie Eilish yet
and I think one of the reasons for that is,every Billie EIlish song has these weird,everyday objects
that are just kind of,record it and put in the track and sound cool,but you just don't really know why they're there
Imma give you some examples
Here in ''Bury A Friend''
Is that a printer...?
It sounds like a jammed printer
What was that...?
Was that from a horror movie or was that a goat?
I think it could have been a goat
There's literally glass sounds in there when she said ''step on the glass'' and not,not to mention that screaming...thing.
All right, we need to add some weird,random sounds to this track which you know, I love doing
So where should we start...?
The subtle art of recording apple-biting
I think I need to bite it quickly so it makes like a really,crisp,sound
I'm scared...
The sticker's still on
Let's not bite the sticker
That was a good crunch on that one
I swear this isn't ASMR...This is art
So we edited that up
This is what the bite sounds like
Now, let's throw that into the mix
I mean,come on
I've noticed that,in the second verse,Billie Eilish does something interesting
For most people,the second verse is just like the first verse but maybe they add something
But for Billie,the second verse is like the first verse,but she takes things away
She's just like,strips it down 'til it,'til it kindles joy
She Marie Kondo's that second verse
Bass and apples...
It's all we need
Actually, I think it still needs something
Something to just like,symbolize our world falling apart
Okay,I think the sound I want is just a ring falling because that's...symbolic or something
Hey Patti,can I borrow your engagement ring?
...Are you recording with it again?
...Yes...
No...
All right, so we're using a different ring, let's see how this sounds
Alright, so I messed with that ring sound,added a bunch of reverb and I also added a random bicycle noise in there...because why not?
And now here's what it sounds like
Alright,I've got Madilyn Bailey coming over here in just a little bit over an hour to record vocals on this,which is gonna sound awesomeeee
But let's get a sense of how it's sounding right now
''I love it when you call me señorita,wish I could pretend I didn't need ya''
Alright,that sounded pretty good but it's still missing something and I think what it is is,every Billie Eilish song has that one,random synth that you just don't expect to be there,but it's there...
...and you like it
Not bad,a little wubby?
Yeahhhh~
I'm feeling that one
I feel it's kinda like,weird,but
''Ooh la la la,it's true la la la''
''Land in Miami,the air was hot from summer rain
Sweat dri-rain!
Wait guys,we need rain
So I found this rain sound
It sounds like this
We're just gonna throw that into the track
I think I like that..
Okay, I think the track is pretty much ready to record vocals
but the intro sounded a little bit bare,and I was listening to a lot of Billie Eilish songs
and she just has random talking in the middle of them sometimes
Is that a radio show?
That one just starts with an episode of ''The Office''
Okay,so here's what we're gonna do
We're gonna go on YouTube and we're gonna search for...
''guy reading poetry''
This is perfect
Guys,comment down below if you know where that's from
We're gonna put that into the track
-''Will surely show it 
If you're happy-
-It sounds so good~
-and you know it, clap your hands''
But wait,we gotta make the ''clap your hands'' sound really evil
Alright guys, I think the track is done
It's perfect timing,so let's get Maddy in here and let's record some vocals
Alright Maddy,you ready to sound like Billie Eilish?
Ooooh
Alright,let's go!
''I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend
Sweet
That sounds really good, but I wanted to kind of sound maybe,like,dark
Yeah, what if we take it,like the octave,down?
-Yeah
-Yeah. Oh, let's do that and like,a really sad,octave down
Alright, now, you know it's not Billie Eilish unless there's ten whispers tracks,all stacked on top of each other
Okay, so let's take all those whispers and harmonies and listen to them all on top of each other
This sounds so much darker
This sounds like me if I'd gone,like,emo in high school instead of Christian
-Alright, I think we have added enough sadness to the track and is now time to film the music video
-Yes
Let's do it!
''If you're happy and you know it
then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true la la la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh you keep me coming for ya
Land in Miami
The air was hot from summer rain
Sweat dripping off me
Before I even knew her name la la la
It felt like ooh la la la
Sapphire moonlight
We danced for hours in the sand
Tequila sunrise
Her body fit right in my hands la la la
It felt like ooh la la la
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true la la la
Ooh I should be running
Ooh,you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true la la la
Ooh I should be running
Ooh you keep me coming for ya
Locked in the hotel
There's just some things that never change
You say we're just friends
But friends don't know the way you taste la la la
'Cause you know it's been a long time coming
Don't you let me fall
Ooh,when your lips undress me
Hooked on your tongue
Ooh love,your kiss is deadly
Don't stop
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true la la la
Ooh I should be running,ooh you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh la la la
It's true la la la
Ooh I should be running,ooh you keep me coming for ya
