Congrats Bill. And that was fun, Niv, thank you.

Suggestion for any future SF Jeop. At the beginning, post a start and end time of when the questions get posted so people can set their reminders to tune into the mighty Song Fight at that time.
Also, I think this is the first time I have ever subscribed to a thread for email notification. So, time to unsub.

I have no idea; the closest I can think of is Jim Varney All Stars who was Sparks screwing around with Take On Me (but he didn't use it backwards). So instead of answering that question I'd like to mention that probably the most controversial song ever (based on forum response, anyway) was Amsmspsptk's "Experimental Fashion" which generated 5+ pages of ranting about how it isn't music and has no place here. Personally I liked it a lot, but the artist in question got attacked so quickly that he didn't feel like actually answering any of my legitimate questions about how he made it, and disappeared forever.

If anyone wants to take that trip down memory lane, here's a link!

So I just reread that, even though a lot of the posts were deleted after-the-fact making most of it seem kind of disconnected and such. And wow, 10 years ago, we were 10 years younger. It's weird to think of Jeff Fal (and myself) as being 23 and Frankie as being, well, my age now. He seemed like such an old fart then.

(I'd like to think we've all mellowed out a lot since then, too.)

Also, whatever happened to Jippers? I remember there being something a bit sad between him and his wife, like his wife decided that he shouldn't work on music anymore since he wasn't doing anything profitable or mainstream-appeal, and he decided his marriage was more important. I am probably completely misremembering.

I think this is common unless your wife is also a musician. Speaking from experience.

From the FAWM mailer:

Tune in tomorrow, April 1, to see longtime fawmer Christopher Short (aka MENBAH!) compete on everyone's favorite quiz show.

MENBAH is also a frequent SF'er, having appeared in 14 fights.

For real? That's cool!

[rone rivendale]

April 1st.

Ha ha ha.

[JonPorobil]

No, it's actually happening. Reportedly, Trebek will be asking him about FAWM (but not Songfight. Boo hoo).

[inevitableguy]

That was pretty awesome.

[fluffy]

I missed it. HOw'd it go?

[Niveous]

He won!!! Go MENBAH!!!

[Billy's Little Trip]

I know Song Fight seems to be the hotel California to the smarter quadrant of tragically hip musicians on earth, but I always considered all of you as pseudo geniuses....well, except fluffy, he's the opposite because he's a real genius that dumbs down to be a PSEUDO pseudo smart guy. *scratches my head*....yeah.

So, way to go MENBAHLS!


....I'm the hotel California bell boy. *holds out hand*

[Paco Del Stinko]

That is way too cool!

[Billy's Little Trip]

That is way too cool for school!

Hey thanks, Niv. I skipped to the 'interview' and the big ending. Tight race! Good job Menbah!

[Billy's Little Trip]

The cast of Glee? You have to be kidding me. But I'm glad my name sake knew that.

[inevitableguy]

He's still winning. I think he needs to come to Song Fight Live this year and buy us all many drinks.

[fluffy]

Has he plugged songfight yet, or just FAWM? I suppose that onhis second day Alex would ask hima bout something other than songwriting.

[Billy's Little Trip]

I can't believe that the mighty SONG FIGHT is not mentioned, yet that stupid fawm is. I know a lot of you guys like fawm, but I'm sorry, fawm is retarded. If Christopher Short doesn't mention SF, .........I'm not sure if I can allow him to share my space if I meet him irl.

...I'll insist on a 5 foot radius from me. 5 FOOT RADIUS! GOOD DAY, SIR!

I didn't see his second show (it's on the DVR) but we did watch yesterday's and he talked about Puerto Rico instead of us.
