Congratulations to Goblin, who has won a free copy of A Vampyre Story, Bill Tiller's classic tale of gothic adventure, for his entry in our contest to create a jingle for our podcast.

You can hear goblin's winning entry here. It is a very catchy piece that sounds like it was created by real voodoo witch doctors. Nice work!

The lyrics are "zab-zab-zibbadaba-dubadaba-dubadaday-..Mixnmojo all up in thiiiiis....Be keepin' it real, yea you know it -The international House of mojo - You best be listening to our shooow! mixnmojo-mixnmojo-mixnmojo-mixnmojo-mixnmojo-mixnmojooo..."

We also have two runners-up, whose excellent jingles will also be used repeatedly in future podcasts.

BillieJoe86 did a lovely song with some musical quotes from the LucasArts games. The lyrics, for those who want to sing along, are:

"Grab some Grog XD and Gold Liquour
And that mug you bought from Lucasarts
Just sit back and relax
It's International Mojo Time!

It's taste and jazz and mix from fans
From a hundred thousand lands
And it's dark and gloomy! (Adventurous!) (In 2D!)
It's Mix and Mojo!
(mix, mix and mojo)

Mix and mojo, mix, mix and mojo!
Mix and mojo, mix, mix and mojo!
Mix and mojo, the Mix, Mix and Mojo Podcast...!
...is about to start!"

Lastly comes an impressively mixed medley of LucasArts themes by the talented Edward van Helgen from our forums. Listen to it here, and see if you can count all the themes that are blended so seamlessly together.

Thanks again to everyone who entered. We were all very impressed by the high level of quality in the entries we received.

    Those are really nice jingles goblin and billiejoe86!
    BTW I didn't know so many people would send in pieces of music. It really surprised me!

    Thanks a lot for the kind words guys!
    Also a big thanks to the Mixnmojo staff for the awesome game!

    The winner is real neat.

    Those were excellent. I especially liked Edward van Helgen's. Well done!

    Thanks guys! Congratulations to Goblin and Van Helgen. Their jingles definitely have a much better sound than mine!

    I'm gonna try to do some stuff to improve it now that I may have some extra time to work on it.

    Btw, Goblin: what is your recording gear? I'm talking about both hardware and software.

    Congrats to the winner Van Helgen again!
  • BillieJoe86 on 17 Dec, 2009, 16:29…
    Sorry, I meant "to the winner (Goblin) AND Van Helgen"
  • Kroms on 17 Dec, 2009, 18:27…
    I really liked yours too :) Actually, we got some ridiculously good ones, and yours was among my (personal) favorites.

    Crikey, that's just awesome.

    Woo, excellent work guys. Glad it wasn't my job to pick a winner.
  • Jake on 17 Dec, 2009, 06:00…
    All three of those are great! Congrats goblin for winning with that excellent jingle, though.
  • The Tingler on 17 Dec, 2009, 04:34…
    Kudos to Edward Van Helgen for mixing those themes so seamlessly, and BillieJoe86 had a really catchy song! But yeah, goblin's fits nicely!
  • valkian on 17 Dec, 2009, 01:19…
    I'm so glad I didn't sent any, the winner is just perfect and very professionally produced. Neat job!
  • valkian on 17 Dec, 2009, 01:23…
    One very tiny just very little very minor nearly irrelevant detail. I would add 1 or 2 seconds of vinyl sound at the end, to enable a more graceful transition.
  • rtl on 17 Dec, 2009, 01:01…
    Say, just how many entries were there actually?
