Song Fight!ers, don't forget to put Ye Newe World Record Lyrics in Ye Olde Lyric Archive

Thanks! I didn't think that "sleeping in the park" bit was *too* over the top. Just the right amount of over the top. 8-) It wasn't, taken on its own -- just unfortunate that a similar rhyming pattern seemed to develop among several of your co-competitors. Oh! And my song is mostly I, IV,...

Next time, listen to mine first.

Need to use the old yellow pages technique and submit as

Interesting that several of you decided to purposely construct chord structures that are anything BUT I-IV-V, presumably to spite the whole concept of the optional challenge. Anyway, look what we found in the park in the dark! We will take him home, we will call him Clark! ** Add – The ratio of titl...

Agreed (about the uneven pacing AND about how difficult that must be). They basically came right out and said their mission statement was to showcase the stunt work, and they were certainly successful there -- so it shouldn't be a big surprise if the storytelling part was just OK. To keep the conver...

Saw this movie (the one referenced in the thread title) Saturday evening. It was enjoyable -- one of the best I've seen in a theater in a while, which admittedly is a VERY low bar -- although it did feel a little longer than necessary. Hoping for some good songs to come out of this fight: "Plea...

You can't start a fire / Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire / Even if we're just Drinking in the Dark

Put your reviews here!

Maybe he learned a new pronunciation while in jail There are lots of places (Missouri, New Orleans, Louisville, Iowa) where the locals have strong opinions on how the place name is pronounced, and after spending some amount of time there, that pronunciation will likely rub off on a visitor. So whil...

I’ve visited Nevada exactly once, about 21 years ago. It was just a quick excursion up across the Hoover Dam followed by an overnight sojourn in Las Vegas, in the middle of a week-long family vacation in Arizona. Feels like an entire lifetime ago, it was such a different time – it was a little while...

I had hoped the "maybe never" was implied by the rest of the song. It was. I guess that's why I was expecting to hear it articulated. But it didn't detract at all, I understand your reasoning for making it implicit rather than explicit. There's definitely a burnout epidemic going on right...

Well. This one certainly seems more manageable (by about 8/9ths). A few thoughts about vacation songs: ** Add – feels like a throwback, WAY back, to the “genesis” of early 00s indie nerd-rock. I dig it, especially how its themes touch upon the universality of human misery and suffering. Berkeley Soc...

It took forever and a day, but I finally listened to all of these. Most of them two or three times. And now I’ll share some brief thoughts. Since the 1000th title has brought in so many alumni, much of what I have to say here will be nostalgic in nature, but I might make a few fleeting mentions to t...

Some first-listen off-the-cuff remarks about this week's songs. Berkeley Social Scene : Guitar tone in the intro felt like it was headed in an "Anarchy in the UK" direction but then it turned into more of a garage punk re-re-revival. Could have gone for it even more on the vocals. Please d...

Hello Citizens of Song Fight! I’ve listened to your songs and now here are some words you may choose to read if you want to. CHURCH : Based on the name, I was all set to expect either The Church or CHRCH , but instead I was surprised to get Red Ryder . Johnny Cashpoint : My favorite part is the slig...

Congrats to the winners! Previous post is updated to reveal whom I had voted for...

Hello, people of Song Fight! I have listened to each of your songs and voted for the ones I liked best. EDIT: marked as (vote) in the list below Below, I have compiled some random thoughts I had whilst listening: Bouffeur De Cul : That synth sound in the intro is a bit louder than the vocals, so whe...

Good morning, people of Song Fight! I'd like to start out by apologizing, because I have been less than fully truthful with you for the past month. I've posted reviews of the entries for the past four titles and prefaced each one with "I'm new here," although this is not quite accurate. In...

Hi, I'm new here. I listened to all your songs and voted for the ones I liked the most (Edit: votes indicated where appropriate throughout the text below.) . Here are some random thoughts I had while listening: Berkeley Social Scene - I like the fuzziness and noisiness, feel like this would have bee...

WreckdoM missing from the "Song Fight! Review-O-Matic & ZIP mirror" and when I clicked the "trigger an update" link it just told me that the most recent songs are already there.

So OK, I'll just do this the old fashioned way.

Congratulations!

(Votes have been revealed in edited post above. So far I have been batting 1.000 voting for an eventual winning entry.)

Neat, that's two weeks in a row one of my voted selections ended up the winner.
