Would you want a third version that’s even messier, like almost making it look like different voices are chiming in?
(Like someone yells “WAKE ME UP!” then someone else screams “DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’!” — full chaotic 80s dance floor energy?)
I can totally do that too if you want the maximum manic vibe!
