Howdy Songfighters!
Sorry to have been such a message board hermit, we've been in some awesome fights lately that I've failed to review, I'm a loser. Anyway, WreckdoM most definitely wants in on this with the following four challenges:

Muleskinner Blues by The Fendermen
The Puking Song by The Dead Milkmen
Texas by Big Black
Mama said knock you out by L L cool J

Let's get it on with the good time gift song making! Hooray!

Making a change...

Instead of "Everything Will Be Alright" I want:

Rockapella - Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego?

Clearly this change is for the better.

It would be extra funny if Sober got your list, because that's exactly the song he picked from mine two years ago! I don't have a link handy, but you could always come over to the lab this afternoon and listen to it on my ipod, if you want to. Which you probably don't, but you should, because it's a rollicking good time of a song.

Do you mean 'Living For The City' ? Great tune. & I heard Dylan Nau's band cover it several years ago.

Still deciding on my list....

Tuesday will be the last day to enter the Gift of Music 2005 (incl. having your list of 4 songs ready). I will give out all the assignments on Wednesday and that day will also start discussions on due date.
