It's never too late! This is just an open ended thing I thought of as something that might be fun for folks to do when they're feeling like making a cover. If you want to give it a try, here's the first random track that came up for you:

If you're curious about finding more random songs, you can hit this link:

i like to select the random songs for folks though to keep track of skips etc. (There are some loose "rules" in the first post of the thread.)

Paco is now one step away from claiming the top spot thanks to his latest cover, "So Weird" by There's Something Wrong With the G-Diffuser. Apparently that band name is a reference to the old video game Starfox. Anyway, good work Paco, and enjoy this cover of a so that is, as advertised, so weird.

Thanks, Lunk. I had to guess at a couple of the lyrics, but think that I made them fit. For that song, oh, they fit! I'll post in a day or two.

Thanks for your hard work Lunk, I appreciate the help. Meanwhile, you can toss me another when you have time. I should be able to get to it sooner. I hope.

Got it, thanks.

Also: I posted my interpretation of the lyrics to the So Weird archive.

Wow, I forgot all about this. Add it to the list of things I'm supposed to be doing instead of watching volleyball on the Olympics.

Ya know, I just don't think I'm going to go anywhere with that MENBAH! song. Why don'tcha give me another pick...

OK, no problem. Here's your new random song, I swear I did not pick this on purpose!

That's cool. Hey, I just noticed that Paco got a KA song to cover - looking forward to that!

Here's Paco's cover of KA's "Dry Spell", it's great!

King Arthur's "Dry Spell" by Paco del Stinko

That puts Paco at the top of the leaderboard.

Let me know if you'd like a new assignment, Paco.

Also here are Paco's interpretation of the lyrics: viewtopic.php?p=202313#p202313

Thank you, Paco! Hey, I recognize the song! One of those where I knew I was stretching the title further than I probably should have. I like the harmonies, everything. Like the way it slows down at the end, like the last 30 seconds of the song were a speed trap :-)

I'm posting a couple corrections to the lyrics. Sorry, I usually try to get the lyrics when I submit a song, guess I missed that one.

KA - Im glad you like it, that makes me feel good. Fun tune, sorry I mangled some lyrics. Think I made up a new word there. Whatever it is.

Lunk - Thanks, as always, for your hard work. I do appreciate it. And yeah, I'll take another. I was thinking that if one of my own ever comes up, I'd take it. In some ways that would be a bigger challenge, I think. Thanks again!

Ha, Paco plays Paco, that could be very cool. But this time you got this frankly not very inspiring to me bit:

"9/11 Was An Inside Job" by Smile Case

Thanks Lunk. I'll do...something with it. Lyrics struggles again. I'm busy but will get it done.

So on 11pm PST on 9/10 (i.e. 2am EST on 9/11) Paco got assigned a 'random song' about 9/11?

Is that a legit wild coincidence, or was your thumb on the scale for this one?
