Re: Hanky Code wants to cover your song

Post by Jerkatorium »

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 of these cover songs, and I intend to do cover songs for any more bands who list Song Fight songs in this thread (see initial post for guidelines).

This collaborative angle has been fabulous: working with guest lead vocalists continues to be fun and rewarding. Special thanks to everybody for being such great talents and great sports.

Since some of you have been waiting six months or more for a cover already, please feel free to revise your list of 3 songs if your preferences have changed.

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:

Oh shit! What an absolute delight! 🥰🥰🥰

Great job Ryan, all three sound great, and thanks for the opportunity to help you cover HPH’s charming typewriter tune!

If you get around to it, I’d be interested to hear what you could make out of one of these misc owl songs:

I Used to Know You Better
The Dregs
Right Town, Wrong Address
Smalltown Mike
Mean Street

Thanks so much for the cover! The vocal delivery here is really nice, and I like what you’ve done with those synths. Sounds really great overall.

But… you said this is covered by HPH here??

The guy who produces my songs is working up a full version of this song, too, for an upcoming EP. It will be interesting to compare the two versions. Keep up the good work!

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 Hot Pink Halo with special guest lead vocalist Smalltown Mike:

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.

These have been pretty interesting to listen to indeed. Not sure if you're still accepting requests but if you are and get around to it I'd pick these from my songfight entries:

"Try Me"
"The Dream Crusher"
"Blue Woman Yes"
