That's me out. I have no idea what 5/8 meter is nor how to achieve it - and don't really have time this weekend to bother trying to learn. Also not keen on the obscure regional dialect vocabulary in the title. I didn't even know this was a north americanism, but I would have preferred "pavemen...

Re: Nur Ein XX Round Zero "Get Cooking"
Immunity means exactly that: you are immune from judgement and being cut. Since, traditionally, there are people who submit songs during immunity, there will inevitably be a comparison to those who do not, whether you like it or not. I've done both and have no shame.
