Dokaka is a Japanese artist who does all-vocal covers of songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" among others. Using only his mouth, he re-creates each song bit by bit. Impressive if not a bit bizarre.
Zoinks, that's great! Not seen/heard that before, latecomer to MonkeyFilter..
D'oh! Not as obscure as I thought! My apologies...
Jeez, I even commented in that thread. Need to stop smoking so much crack...
Mmmm, crack....
I also missed this last time, or had trouble loading the site or something. Thanks for the link again.
Mmmmm, dokaka...
I missed the first time. This is the greatest thing ever. Holy cow.
I played "The Trooper" a couple of weeks ago for a coworker (only gave him a bare description of Dokaka's schtick, and wouldn't tell him what song we were about to listen to). He was amazed.
I've had his "Angel of Death" stuck in my head since the first time i heard it a while ago.
I believe he does some of the vocals in Bjorks new a cappella album Medulla
heheh, whats funny is that you actually posted in that old thread Sooooz...
mrk - I know, that's what's embarrasing. I actually read about this guy in an article about the new Bjork album.
And those of us in the same MoFiCDX group with donabean were also treated to a sample of his work. (I hadn't heard of it before that)
