Gee, I hope you two don't have the same song.

Ooof. :wink:

Well, neither is mine. :) Is yours crunchy guitar-driven rock?

Nope! Mine's like taking anti-anxiety meds and then pretending to be Jon Coulton imitating Frankie Big Face but not being very good at it.

Fluf, the secret of getting ahead is getting started. I'm sure it will be interesting because you're an interesting person. Always remember, be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. :P

Yay, I think my song's done. I think this is the first recording I've actually used my bass guitar on. (A fretless I bought 3 years ago.)

This is why I don't usually post my lyrics.

I finished early this time (due to another deadline on Oct 1).
I think this is the first time one of my songfight songs has absolutely no guitar in it.
It's about as lean as my "paper thin" song, but it's catchier and more full-band than what I've been submitting lately.
It really wrote itself.
It was done and recorded in about two hours.

Ours is recorded. Now for the mixing. Unfortunately, it did not write, perform, record, mix, or submit itself.

I intentionally post my lyrics as fast as I can, to give other Songfighters a chance to use them. I like hearing alternate versions of my songs.

I did that for &counting. Whoever did the "mockpuppet" entry did a pretty good job of it too.

Well, I don't know what autoprolific means, but this title sure seems to be automatically creating productivity and fruitfulness. :P

with respect, i don't think that you can still call it your song when someone creates an entirely different melody and arrangement for it. i don't know exactly what i would call it though. it wouldn't be a cover because that relies on the original form of the song to provide a base for the reinterpretation. the whole idea just rubs me the wrong way. i think i may just be afraid that the lyricburgler's version of the song would be better than my own. put that in your pipe and quote it.

Good point TWS. I wonder about this a bit. Example, My Interesting Times song was performed by Paco and myself, but the lyrics were written by Niveous. I entered it as BLT featuring Paco. Then in the lyrics section mentioned lyrics by Niveous. I'm never quite sure of the protocol. Also, notice how I said "my" Interesting Times song? Why do I do that when it's really our song?
