Re: hey listen to my new song (thread)

I wrote a new parody. Song Fighter Jonathan Mann did the music & SpinTuner Jenny Katz did the vocals.

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"

Boffo Yux Dudes I swear I don’t understand why people would Yoda the first line of a song. (unless it’s a Weird Al Star Wars parody) Just use your best Yoda voice, and read your first line. Don’t set the tone of your song that way. It’s more annoying when the song overall isn’t bad. Interesting sto...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"

Abominominous Pawn Shop, the rock band. Lyrically it’s a little hard to follow the first time around, but with the lyrics in front of me it was easier. You had my head movin’ to the music, and the more I listen to this the more I like it. Really enjoyed the use of alliteration in this song as well....

WEW!!! Thanks for the save, Spin.
lol no problem. I actually had no idea my ranking of you was so different from the other judges. I'll try to get my reviews posted later today. I've been swamped lately & struggled just to get my rankings in a place I was happy with.

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Zero "Message Received"

Thanks for the heads up, but I didn't ding them in the rankings. Just dinged them by not reviewing them. So shouldn't affect the outcome at all. At least on my part.

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Zero "Message Received"

For those who don’t know me, I used to run SpinTunes. I’m not a musician, I’ve only written lyrics for a few songs/parodies/jingles, and I have no real background that qualifies me as an expert of any kind. This won’t stop me from judging you & possibly talking out of my ass from time to time. H...

Re: hey listen to my new song (thread)

Ok, so I don't really consider myself a songwriter at all, but this is the first song (that's not a parody) that I helped write. Unless you play Minecraft on the same mini games servers as I do, or have watched my Minecraft videos, you probably won't get most of the references. That being said I've ...

I’m starting to think we should have got rid of the letter “E”, this sounds easy for you. Then the rapping...you’re just rubbing our face in this challenge like, “THIS IS NOT WORTHY OF ME...

you'd totally have to do it. not being a musician is no excuse.

Well I could do it if someone did the music...and the singing...I could write lyrics. (bad ones, but I could try)

Micah Sommersmith - Love the idea, and it’s something that I probably would be overly annoyed with if a girlfriend constantly sang the wrong words to songs I knew. Great job with all the examples.

Nick Soma - Now I know it didn’t say the guest vocalist could be audio clips from other media, so I guess I can let that slide. That’s straddlin’ the fence in terms of meeting the challenge though. What bothers me most is that this song screams out for multiple vocalist & you don’t have them. Y...
