The 8th Annual Gift of Music

[Niveous]

You're right Fluffy. I almost forgot. There is a vote next year on who did the best song. The top 3 all get Soul Tree Records gift packs, courtesty of Eddiebangs, as well as a contribution to JDRF given in their name.

I'm Game to try this year - I should be able to convince Al to join forces and try to do a cover song.

You need 4 tunes? Hmm..

How about
Today's the Day by Inverse T. Clown

I asked Edric for a tune - he came up with
Sir Issac Quickmud (No. 138)
http://happinessboard.com/Sir_Isaac_Quickmud.html

Something more accessible - How about
The Monkees - '(Im Not Your) Steppin' stone'

and finally from
Pop Machine - Indestructible!
