I'm pretty sure JB was inspired by the question, "how can I make a sex joke about the words 'isle dauphine?'"

Not everyone hangs around the icky "sites" you do. :P

But I do remember Hank Hill getting anal from a male dolphin about 10 years ago, lol.


edit: Q3) What do I do if a dolphin wants to mate with me?

A3) Accept, if possible! I will go through the steps involved with males and females...

The Male:

When a male dolphin is interested in you, about the only thing you can do, if you are male, is to masturbate him.

Sorry I'm way behind on Song Fight, but I'll get caught up soon. Most of the 'work' part of SpinTunes #3 is now behind me.

Would Have Voted For: (had I not been distracted with SpinTunes & MineCraft)
Thanks for the frisbee - The only thing I didn't like about this was the sweat & pheromone lines. Clean recording, good performance, fun light song...with 2 odd lines.

Manhattan Glutton - I can forgive you for not being a golf fan, cause this was the most rockin' infomercial/travel ad I've heard.

King Arthur - I can usually tell when a King Arthur song is starting, but until I heard your voice...I had no clue with this one. Not sure if I like the ?synth?, but as usual the story & performance won me over. I think I got used to the synth more than I liked it.

Daring Front - 80's feel...good thing. Enjoyed the vocals & this just felt groovy. Please use the lyric forum. Even though your lyrics were very clear, I tend to just groove to songs like this & often don't pay attention to the words if the lyrics aren't in front of me.

Abjure! - I have mixed feelings about this one. It goes meta really briefly at the start, and turns out to be a funny song about loving a mermaid. It was enjoyable, but I just heard a song about falling in love with a mermaid by Chris Cogott. I felt his, even though this was entertaining, trumped yours. Judge for yourself: http://spintown.bandcamp.com/track/drag-me-down

Bad Boys at Bat Mitzvahs - I loved the guitar in this, and the performance was pretty good. A couple parts would benefit from some cleaning up, but overall it was pretty clear. "We'd move back to Richmond" is the line I had the most trouble picking up by ear. The lyrics are a bit to vague for me, but good entry.

Baker and LSares - The autotune got old quick. I think I heard a Marty McFly reference...that was cool...but didn't really care for much else.

Billy's Little Stinko - If I hadn't heard 7 or 8 other songs with a similar story in the past month, I might have voted for it. Kinda made me want to play Twisted Metal.

Hey it's Romer - It's bad enough you ruined a song for the contest, don't try to ruin a classic movie for me as well.

The Uncomfortable Project - I enjoyed this story a lot, and think the song has a lot of promise. Unfortunately it needs something to mix it up musically, cause it bored the shit out of me. The vocals even seemed to get more bored as the song went along. The short instrumental at the end didn't sound good at all.

WreckdoM - The chorus was more annoying than catchy. Needs work, but the verses were entertaining, and it reminds me of a cheesy YouTube music video. Hell, add another verse & make a video. Become the next Denny Blaze.

thank you, it was recorded in two takes, one guitar one voice (as close to the live as I could get that sounded ok) so there is a lot to be cleaned up
"We'd move back to Richmond" is the line I had the most trouble picking up by ear.
only one line this time!?! I'll call that a win. I think I said "we'd move back oh to Richmond" and that random syllable in the middle makes it hard to understand, or I have a stutter.
The lyrics are a bit to vague for me, but good entry.
there is absolutely nothing tying the verse to the chorus, or any reason it should really be about an island. They are as vague as you can get. Honestly, I wasn't going for content,or telling a story, or trying to paint a detailed portrait... This song, as is, was meant to show a feeling, or to give a feeling through the music, for the live fight.

I have continued to work on this, and I agree, the lyrics need work to become a finished product. But it was good enough to get me into the finals of the live fight. It might not have won if I didn't offer bribes, it defiantly wouldn't have won if I hadn't brought the biggest posse (once Roymonds children had left). But it was a good song. Thanks for the review.

Then you were successful, but as someone who likes a solid story, I rarely vote for songs that take that approach. You know....had I been around to actually vote.... Glad it did well for you at the live fight.
