Re: It packs a wallop (Spiked Punch prefight)
Well I've got a bassline and a drum track and am trying out a new setting on my distortion pedal. Wife told me to write a song about getting shitfaced and playing Mike Tyson's Punchout and I like her idea so I'm gonna do it.

Sounds like my early twenties. I also have a video game related idea, not sure yet if I want to actually do it but we will see.sleepysilverdoor wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 6:24 pmgetting shitfaced and playing Mike Tyson's Punchout

You want some bars? I've got space for them. Very sparse flow.SweeneyToad wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 8:42 pmSounds like my early twenties.

Title and challenge lend themselves to the faux irish bullshit I used to sling around here. If I wasn't exhausted from Spintunes I might join in. Maybe I will anyway.

Re: It packs a wallop (Spiked Punch prefight)
I'm in, unusually early. Somebody suggested that I try to write a contemporary pop song. I tried, but I ended up with something rap-adjacent instead.

Well contemporary pop often IS pretty rap-adjacent to be fair.lichenthroat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 6:55 pmI'm in, unusually early. Somebody suggested that I try to write a contemporary pop song. I tried, but I ended up with something rap-adjacent instead.

Re: It packs a wallop (Spiked Punch prefight)
I was trying to emulate Taylor Swift's "Out of the Woods." You'll see how not close I got.sleepysilverdoor wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 7:45 pmWell contemporary pop often IS pretty rap-adjacent to be fair.lichenthroat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 6:55 pmI'm in, unusually early.

Re: It packs a wallop (Spiked Punch prefight)
I wrote a song. I recorded some tracks for the song. I haven't mixed the song (much.) I'll try to finish it up tonight.

In with a sloppy number. Did the old baritone doubles the bass line bit.
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Re: It packs a wallop (Spiked Punch prefight)
So glad to be part of this track! Getting drunk and playing Punch Out on the NES was totally part of college life for me lolsleepysilverdoor wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 2:20 pmDoing some last minute vocals for the return of Phlebia ft Sweeney Toad.
My original idea for this title was to make a song about Chun Li from Street Fighter and her "Spiked Punch", I've been wanting to use this little pocket synth licensed by Capcom that has loads of Street Fighter samples but unfortunately I was busy with something else called the Vocal Producer Challenge this weekend. With that said, I felt inspired last night and threw together a quick little track that is just a straight forward take on the title about going to a party and drinking the spiked punch, but the twist is it was spiked with bath salts!

Re: It packs a wallop (Spiked Punch prefight)
In! With a little something I'm calling "Spiked Punch." It's not as list-like as the last song, but definitely delves into some other somewhat-redundant terms, from the POV of a somewhat unreasonable dude.

Re: It packs a wallop (Spiked Punch prefight)
Street Fighter, Punch Out...both classic fighting games regardless! I actually played Street Fighter II Turbo Alpha way more than I ever did Punch Out, but most of that is probably due to year of birth!SweeneyToad wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 9:57 amSo glad to be part of this track!

This is one of the shorter entries I've submitted -- really the main part of it is only 32 bars but like you most of that was time constraints. Only in my case none of it had anything to do with other songwriting competitions and everything to do with a stupidly long workweek, multiple small children, and various projects around the house.
That and I recently discovered Stardew Valley and it's taking over my life.
