Re: Nur Ein VI: Round Two
I did know one "Ginger", a childhood friend. We're now Facebook friends, and my guess is that she wouldn't be thrilled if I wrote about her. Assuming I make it to Round 2 I'll have to think about this one.Niveous wrote: Non Optional Challenge: Song must be autobiographical

Autobiographical in spirit or autobiographical as in factually true about oneself? If the latter, how do the judges intend on telling the difference?
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

I was wondering that as well. And if we need to be factually true, can I choose any one of my multiple personalities to write about?Manhattan Glutton wrote:Clarification!Niveous wrote:Non Optional Challenge: Song must be autobiographical

By the way, I don't really know any gingers, either. But I do have an idea for a song. Which I'm not going to tell you about.

I'll give you my second idea. Write a song about a cross dressing male prostitute named Ginger Al that is famous for his twig and berry fire bush.dantes wrote:Lucky...Billy's Little Trip wrote:This is right up my alley. This song practically writes it's self.

What, am I the only one who thought of this right away? Tom, I KNOW you had to think of this...
Didn't even think of redheads...did think of the spice though.
Oy.
