Songfight! Olympics - Opening Ceremony

[Caravan Ray]

The torch is lit, the doves are released and everyone is doped up to the eyeballs - lets go.

The first Songfight Olympic event has commenced:

- Form a team
- Write and record a song as a team
- send link to me and I will set up a voting page to decide medals
- Closing date: 31st August 2008

TITLE:

"Let A Hundred Flowers Bloom"

(*or if you don't like that - feel free to use any other Mao Zedong quote from this page)

NB - songs do not have to be Olympics related in any way - the purpose of this is to turn Songfight into a team sport. Lets see some collaborative efforts from people who may not normally collaborate.

Hoping to see at least 4 entries - one each from the following teams:

AUSTRALIA
CANADA
GREAT BRITAIN
USA

if anyone wants to form any other geographically based team - go for it (eg. would be great for all the guys going to Florida to get together and enter as a team).

All welcome to join in - the more members per team, the merrier.


TEAM CONTACTS:

AUSTRALIA
If you want to represent Australia - PM me. (Denyer, Sausage Boy, Pigpen - I'm looking at you). Anybody else - if you think you have a claim to Australianess (ie you have seen all the Crocodile Dundee movies, or you have tasted Vegemite) - feel free to jump on board.

CANADA:
Sven Mark Mullet - do you want to put you hand up to sort out the Maple Leaves?

GREAT BRITAIN:
Adam Adamant, you expressed early interest - do you want to run with this? Or Ujnhunter? Were you going to sign up for this side of the Atlantic?

USA: Hinc? BLT? Somebody?

[Märk]

Yeah, sure. Why not. Canucks: weigh in, please!

[adamadamant]

I'm happy to coordinate Team GB if anyone wants to PM me.

Go Team GB!!

[j$]

Yup, a little late but count me in. Can't have adamant representing us on his own

[adamadamant]

No we'd do even worse than we do in the real olympics!

[ujnhunter]

oh yea! PM sent to my group leader... it's a secret!

[Reist]

I might be able to drop a drum track for the Canadians if I get the track before Monday. Or I could write something ... but there are things I would rather do.

Can I take that as an 'In' ?

[Reist]

I guess it's an "in" with restrictions.

[Märk]

Okay, I have a basic idea for a song. It bounces between 13/8 and 9/8 every other measure. There's an extra beat on every second measure that is a prime number. You up to it? (Team:Canada is counting on you)

[Billy's Little Trip]

Fuck, Canada is totally ahead.

[Märk]

PSA: I was kidding about that. I have nothing at the moment. Also, Team:Canada needs at least one other person it it. Please come out of the woodwork right about now, Canucks.

Is Reist even 16 yet, he looks 12?!

Ah, that reminds me.

I need a new avatar.

That avatar is hilarious! I honestly crack a smile every time I see it. Please use it someday in an album, because I think it's very "you". You're a funny kid with great musical talent.

Don't you already have an album full of photos of little boys with their mouths open?

[Denyer]

Their mouths looked full to me.
