The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Y'know, there's no one magic length over which point a song is officially "too long." There were longer songs than Tinderfoot's in the fight this week which I didn't think were too long, and there were shorter songs that seemed to last forever.

I'd like to think that my "North Dakota" justified its length in a way that Tinderfoot's "Under Over" didn't. Maybe they're both too long; it's not really for me to say at this point.

To me, a song is only too long if it goes nowhere after the second verse. A song like bohemian rhapsody changes moods and structure through the song, so I don't feel like it's too long.

Okay. I give up.

Sorry, I know little about Greek mythology, and in a late night/early morning, forcing myself to finish the review before sleeping, review session...I was not about to do research beyond the lyric forum. :p

It's not just you, no one's pointed it out, despite my specific invitation. I'm mostly disappointed in myself, thinking I was all witty with oblique references to the Persephone myth, and hoping folks would get the reference. I just went too arcane, I suppose.

That's what I was going for. Feel free to judge for yourself.

I like that! Good job.

whoah, Generic! I don't think anyone here is JUDGING anyone else's song/material.

Right, gang? Let's reassure ourselves as a group that absolutely NO judgement is taking place in this forum!

What's that we always say about "Song Love?"

Oh yeah, that this ain't it.

Every time I see your posts, I want to eat a pickle. Not necessarily one with a face, but as long as it's a happy pickle, I'm down.

That cover art is awesome! Did Fluff actually draw that or just steal the image?

Congrats, Pig Pen.

Congrats on #2 Denise and Charlie. We rocked the hizzy.

Woo hoo - I'm average!!!!

Plus, BLT and Co. got robbed, but them's the Song Fight! breaks, I suppose.

Attaboy, pIgpen! Great tune, best I've ever heard from you, and a deserved winner.

Chrispy: I would love to play any of (y)our songs live someday. You be band leader and call up guest singers Denise and Spud to rock the house down.

Maybe we should have reconsidered the "I don't vote for myself" thing before this fight.

Nah, I'd rather be #2 then give up my moral beliefs.

And what's up with the vote tally page? It looks like MG hacked it and eft it all up.
