Thailand invited to “Sing for the King”

This music video on the "Sing for the King" website shows people what the videos will look like when all the recordings are edited together. The lyrics focus on His Majesty's nationwide efforts to help his country and his appreciation for the arts.

Thai producer Boyd Kosiyabongse and singer Nop Pornchamni have come up with a really cool way to allow the country to join them in offering His Majesty the King a musical birthday.

Their website, www.SingForTheKing.org, allows people to record their own musical greetings and actions onto the site, which the celeb duo will edit into a series of music videos.

All you need is a microphone and a video camera to participate. There's a section on the site where you can record your take on the duo's specially composed tune "Sing for the King.” Got a voice that makes small children burst into tears of fear? That’s ok, there are a variety of other “actions” you can film yourself doing, from holding the Thai flag to hugging yourself. There are even "props" you can download to assist.

According to a report in The Nation, Boyd and Nop were inspired by the video for the song "Hibi No Neiro" by Japanese band Sour.
