:oops: oops...I didn't anticipate that interpretation. I just saw a picture of some blokes having a fight.

I really wanted a picture from the opening credits of 'F-Troop' - you know, the saloon scene where people are smashing chairs and bottles over each other, but I couldn't find one

(FWIW: the picture is from a riot at a Sydney pub. The unfortunate chap in the middle is probably of Lebanese descent )

...anyway - this is where Caravanray must take his leave.

...over to you, Tex.

Next time, everyone will know in advance when the title and question will be announced.

So the good news is I don't have to to try to write better than Ken this week. Next week I'm floating the answer to Deshead if I find it first.

Rules clarification question:
"* The band with the jury's favorite song gets an exemption. "
Since the jury's favorite song automatically passes, right, what's the exemption? Is it for the next round? Or maybe exemption doesn't mean what I think it means.

The fave from round 1 doesn't have to do a song for round 2.

I've just finished my 'Pencil me in' lyrics... <walks away with a s**t eating grin on>

So erm... with all these sites, do we post lyrics on one of them? If so which one and where?

Another problem for Niveous. Sorry.

I don't see what's wrong with starting a "Pencil Me In" thread in the lyrics forum. Especially keeping in mind the whole spirit-of-the-unification-of-the-Songfight-community thing.

I agree, but I think ratification at some high HIGH level would be nice before I get railed by the big bad colour (color for those from abroad) who shall not be named. :P

I completely forgot to check the Nur Ein website, so I just found out about the name. My song is done being written though, I just don't know how much time I'll have to record it though. I'll try and eliminate the crazy long intros I have been overdoing.

Oh and by the way, where do we send our songs?

Good point, Jolly Roger. I'm going to edit the page to say that you should send the link to your song to nurein.sidefight AT gmail.com. If you can't post, PM either me or J$ and we can work something out.

ahhhhhhh. I can breathe again. :D

I don't know what it is about Donald Trump that hits my anger nerve, but I tried to watch one episode of 'The Apprentice' about a year ago, and had to turn it off 10 minutes in. My blood pressure was way up.

Anyway, you go ahead and use any damn avatar you want, Niv. I was just trying to be funny. (thanks for changing it, though)

I find Donald Trump less worrysome than a crazy eyed Vigilante with a wicked looking knife...

Hi, I’m Tex Beaumont and me and my band The Dirty Hearts* will be playing this little game here.

I am a figment of somebody’s drunken imagination, left now in the unenviable position of trying to recall why I was thought up in the first place. If I recall rightly, I invented myself after noticing that a certain antipodean Songfighter, who despite his obvious raw, sexual magnetism - seemed to have an anthology consisting almost entirely of uninspired musical caricatures attached to smutty innuendo and dick jokes.


Anyway – for the duration of this competition at least – I will endeavour to achieve some sort of musical and lyrical consistency, that may in fact be construed as some sort of “styleâ€
