Re: Holiday Songs
Here's a couple of tunes we cobbled together with some video. The first is an original song and the second is our version of a Christmas Standard. Love to get some feedback.

Re: Holiday Songs
This year I decided that I would do a Christmas song in the Heuristics Inc. style. Here is Jingle Bells.
Then Starfinger remixed it, under one of his aliases: Jingle Bells (Dr. Kong Remix).
Happy holidays!

Re: Holiday Songs
So I wrote two xmas songs this year, one in September and one today. So:
Susan, a christmas song
(Really liked the new SF title, but thought the subject matter would be out of date by the time the songs got posted.)
and this one, from 50/90
Letter From The Front, November 1914 (featuring the mighty Mr Balham on bass and drums)
There's some other ones by me somewhere in this thread, as well. Should the mood take you.

Re: Holiday Songs
And another, more jolly, equally NSFW. Or NSFXmas either
Simply Havin' A Swingin' Christmas
Lyrics:
the weather outside is dreadufl
But inside we've got a bedful
Of like minded folk
Up for spit roast
By a roaring fire tonight
The dustmen they came collecting, they
Got a present that they weren't expecting
Not just the bins
They're emptying
And they're tucked in tight all night
Simply havin' a Swinging Christmas
The postman's come, got snowed in
With his sack's still bulging, so he
Shoves them in
My wife's stocking
And delivers some first class fun
The weather outside's appalling
But if Santa comes a-calling
With a ho ho ho
And let's have a go
My chimney's always open
Simply havin' a Swinging Christmas
Serving up the xmas pudding
Instead of coins we have put in our
Car keys so please up and at her
See if you have pulled a xmas cracker!
Simply havin' a Swinging Christmas time.

Re: Holiday Songs
Hey All,
I'm starting to think about holiday music and wanted to throw out the idea of an "official" Songfight Holiday Album for this year. If you have the time or inclination to write and/or record a holiday song, I can put them all together with some artwork for 2011. I'm thinking the deadline would be December 20th. I guess this is just a head's up/reminder/interest level meter kind of post. Thoughts?

Re: Holiday Songs
Okay, if there was a deadline, we could make it the 14th of December, if we announce it on Monday that would give everyone a month to work on tunes.
New tunes or covers... Do people have a preference? The thing I would like to avoid is people recycling things they've already done.

Sorry to running a little late on this everyone. I came down with a pretty serious cold and still haven't quite recovered yet. I'll start a new thread and stuff as soon as I'm up to it.

Re: Holiday Songs
Since we are leaving the old things behind, as is best in this particular case; moving to new winter holiday favorites in a new thread I thought I would drop this particular Yuletide Bomb; as an appropriate (?) amount of time has passed since Caravan Ray posted his adorable and family friendly video.
My track is just audio. A few of you have heard this already, i think i sent it in an irc chat. But it is not suitable for work.

EDIT: it's also real cheezy and I sound silly.
