This sounds hot.

Finally my chance to prove to the world that Blue is a hoppin' bug.

If anyone needs lyrics or other info, just ask me and I'll send them your way!

I may just have to do this because of my love of Pumpkin Buzzard songs. But what to do? "Important Nightmare" maybe? "Rain Rat"? So many to choose from.

While I'm not at liberty to publicly discuss who the Hoppin' Bug is, if you're really covering this you'll need to get lyrics from me and you're going to be shocked.

This could be fun. Not this week though.

I think I'll be able to give Funeral Director a go, seeing as it's the lowest score over there. If you guys don't mind, that is. Do we post them up over at SS?

by **melvin** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 7:07 pm

I'm planning to give Anti Ensemble a shot, but yeah, where do we post the songs?

by **NatchDan** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 7:19 pm

Are complete reinterpretations allowed, or are you looking for something straighter? If yes, I've got plans for Funeral Director.

by **jute gyte** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 11:28 pm

Blue will have to tell you where to post songs butSomesongs sounds fine to me.

Reinterpretations are fine and multiple covers of a song are definitely fine. Those who are interested in Funeral Director may wish to hear the SIGNIFICANTLY different original Songfight version here: http://www.songfight.org/music/funeral_ ... ard_fd.mp3

I'd really like to cover Rain Rat, but I just don't know if I can do it between now and the first of Aug because of prior commitments. I dig that tune immensely.

by **NatchDan** » Sat Jul 21, 2007 10:59 am

Jute - Request lyrics for Funeral Director, please! Also chords, though I can't promise I'll use them.

by **Niveous** » Sat Jul 21, 2007 11:12 am

Okay, I'm definitely in. I'm doing "Important Nightmare". Any lyrics or chords will be appreciated.

Check your PMs, Niv!

Ooh ooh! I want to 'My Heart' I think it has potential. Do you have chords or lyrics?

Cheers

I looked at your list on somesongs, thinking "oh, I'll pick a short one" -- then realized that those numbers were ratings, not minutes in length.

Unamusing anecdote aside, I think I'm in the mood to bang out a cover. It won't win, but if it increases the number of entries, that's good enough for me.

by **jute gyte** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 11:53 pm

Sounds great! If you need lyrics/music for a song, let me know!

by **Spud** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 12:51 am

There are lyrics? Guess I better listen to a few more.
