The correct way to pronounce it is 'HOT'
And I mean sizzling!

More later as to this mystery request.


Never mind all the variations in pronunciation. If you all want to get into that, it's pretty much a given that anyone anywhere only has to listen around in their own country to find varying dialects, they're endless.

Anyway, Sem-eye Live, care to unveil the 'mystery' yet? The world in all it's linguistic variety awaits with bated breath.

As for "SemiLive" ... I think it is along the lines of "They wanted to hire LIVE music, but I was as close as they could get" ...

The mystery is that I wrote a parody about Tiger Woods and the original melody was based on a Christmas carol. I researched it and found the publisher of the carol. I contacted them and the bad news is... they denied my request for a license. Due to the "sexual" nature of the lyric. I thought it was pretty tame! You should have seen the first version.

So, I have now written my own melody. I don't know if it will ever see the light of day but I played it at two gigs this week and it brought the house down both times. So, for my crazy friends, at least, it was a hit.

These types of things can go viral on youtube, etc. That is what I had it mind, haha. I dunno, I kinda got fired up but it'll probably never be sung after another week or so.

Yay! It sounds like a lot of fun to me. Git 'er on You Tube, strike while the iron's hot - you've got to be a better looker than Susan Boyle . Hey, and just tell us what original carol your lyric was set to, then we can all get the original intent.
