Even though I never made a Crosshare account (and thus never left comments), I was doing all of the Sommersmith puzzles consistently and compulsively, and now I miss them. I hope this is just a temporary lull.

Forgive me if everybody already knows about this, but if you aren’t already familiar with it, “The Hard Times” is a parody news site that is geared exactly towards me (and I suspect it’s geared towards many other SongFighters too). The content is a lot like The Onion , except the focus is mostly pun...

As far as the challenge goes, I feel like almost all competitors did sub-par on the drone/pedal point requirement. To my ear the drones were mostly de-emphasized, hidden, and/or tacked-on, and that was a bit of a disappointment. That accusation of half-assery is a great segue to my nominal-effort re...

EVERYBODY GETS SIX WORDS: Melody Klein - Too Long : Meta, slow, moody. Easily top four. See-Man-Ski - Get Back (to where you came from) : Rocking, engaging, energizing. Definitely top four. Firefly - Firephyte : Builds well. Interesting. Unequivocally top four. Phlub - Eternal Return : Weird, capti...

D'oh!

Sorry. How did I get this old without knowing saxophones are woodwinds? Time for me to go watch an 'Introduction To Music' course on YouTube.

I will try my best to attend an in-person 2022 SFL if one happens. I highly recommend them, whether you're going to perform or not (though you absolutely should perform). Also the online component is wonderful and I second fluffy's call for more frequent not-live shows throughout the year.* I like t...

EVERYBODY GETS SIX WORDS again: Melody Klein : Could easily be half as long. Richard Shakespeare : Excellent interesting choices. Chorus needs oomph. Star Bear : Great song if you like sadness. Dented Bento : A fun oasis in this playlist. See-Man-Ski : Nice piano work, great vocals. Plodding. rackw...

EVERYBODY GETS SIX WORDS: Just - Melody Klein : Synthy ASMR, hypnotic, captivating, arguably overdone. Oh No - Richard Shakespeare : Hippie guitar, nice chorus, good vocals Limited Time Offer - Quazimodo’s Balls : Interesting. Stop hiding behind vocal effects. Our Little Secret - See-Man-Ski : Grea...

I'm game for a 2022 Original Flava. I always prefer Sidefights for/about Songfighters: Original Flava, Hxaros, etc. It's been 5 years since the last Themesong Fight , and there's been plenty of new blood since then, I'd be into that too. Of course SpinTunes is starting up soon, and then I suspect Nu...

RIP Ronnie Spector Posting a little late, as she passed away on 12JAN2022, but I feel compelled to mention it anyway. Ronnie Spector and The Ronettes had a huge impact on my compositions, mostly with their finely-crafted backing vocals, but also the mesmerizing vocal melodies and their distinctive r...

"Tradition", huh? Wow.

Literally the three words I said immediately following that were, "That's a joke."

Wait a minute here, hold on. Is someone beating me in the quantity department? Quality, sure, I understand. But quantity ? Unacceptable. To be perfectly clear, someone (me) is beating you in the quantity of points department but not in the quantity of songs department. I deviously gamed the bonus s...

Access Denied by Hanky Code I reach out to you but it’s Access Denied your killbots deployed security protocols applied and then intensified I wanna get through to you but it’s Access Denied you launch so many murder drones they blacken out the sky But still I try Access Denied Gotta find an overrid...

OK, I've updated this page with the Third Cat and Hanky Code covers. Did I miss anything or anybody else? Thank you for updating the leaderboard, but I have a few corrections for it - obviously not important or urgent, but if Paco Del Stinko follows through on his threat to do more random songs fro...

Great Paco Del Stinko cover Third Cat. Such a challenging project too - I listened to the cover, then went back and listened to the original (at http://www.songfight.org/music/art_bomb/pacodelstinko_ab.mp3 since the jukebox isn’t responding), then listened to the cover again. Then I realized I was p...

I submitted a short (less than 2min) video earlier this morning, the process went very smoothly for me. I apologize for getting it in so late past deadline, I hope you can still squeeze it in somewhere.

Thank you for the feedback. RE: HPH, oops brain fart. Covered by Hanky Code. I've just gone back and changed the post.

As if that weren't enough, I just realized that I uploaded these three without appropriately tagging them. I'll do that and upload corrected versions tomorrow.

I apologize for getting these out so very very late. When I started this project I had a lot of free time and it seemed very possible to churn out two songs per week indefinitely. Things got busy immediately after I started this thread, and they haven’t let up. But I still happily intend to do all o...

Originally a really cool G&G number, I added some instruments and found the perfect voice for lead vocals: Smalltown Mike! You rotten bastards don’t deserve it this good, but here it is anyway. Another Mystery Solved by Giraffes for Wings, covered by Hanky Code with special guest lead vocalist S...

Here's my favorite Hot Pink Halo song, and OMG it’s sung by one of my favorite vocalists ever: owl is doing the lead vocals!

Try Me by Hot Pink Halo, covered by Hanky Code with special guest lead vocalist owl:

Finished my second cover for this project and it only took half a year. Lucky for you, Chumpy is doing the lead vocals on this one again.
