I'd like to do a sidefight where Sidemaster picks a fairy tale or children's story, and everybody writes and records songs to be used in the movie musical version of the story.Caravan Ray wrote:I'd like a sidefight where everyone does songs from "The Jungle Book".

Oh jeez, that's brilliant. Here's hoping it's from the non-sanitized versions of the Grimm's ouvre!king_arthur wrote:I'd like to do a sidefight where Sidemaster picks a fairy tale or children's story, and everybody writes and records songs to be used in the movie musical version of the story.

What do you participate in, anyway? I see 4 entries credited to you in the archive. Do you belong to some other collective or something?Dan-O from Five-O wrote:Not that I particpate in the latter enough to have a voice in it
I did something like that <a href="http://glitterandtwang.org/songs/albums ... nazi/">one time</a>, but I just asked people to perform the songs. maybe you could do that. i'd love to do the song the vultures do, btw. we're your friiiiiiiiiieeeeeeends.Caravan Ray wrote:I'd like a sidefight where everyone does songs from "The Jungle Book".
The 'Sound of Music' was on telly here on the weekend. My daughter was totally mesmerised by it. Julie Andrew's voice is like crack for 2-year-olds.Mkilly wrote:

(Although, I'd really like to give that song a go. I've only got 5 more months before I can no longer truthfully sing the girl part. I just need a suitable male voice. Hm. I should actually do that soon. Next weekend! 
)I know somebody who sort of does that. He posts a fairy tale, broken down into individual sentences. People pick sentences and write a song (or a performance of some kind). The songs/etc. are debuted at a live performance of the fairy tale, instead of on a Web site. He's been archiving the performances here, though:king_arthur wrote:I'd like to do a sidefight where Sidemaster picks a fairy tale or children's story, and everybody writes and records songs to be used in the movie musical version of the story.Caravan Ray wrote:I'd like a sidefight where everyone does songs from "The Jungle Book".

I re-watched that recently, and the musical was the only part that lived up to my memories of how funny the movie was. "The ugliest man in the universe!" And "He's packing his trunk", etc. So damn good.

I'd do either Muppet Babies or the Perfect Strangers theme. or maybe WKRP In Cincinatti. or maybe Golden Girls. or maybe Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers. maybe Duck Tales. Top Cat. Three's Company.

Actually, you know what I was just thinking, was that The BeWells should step up and record it. So long as we could divorce ourselves from the fact that they're related.Bjam wrote:I believe that someone still hasn't submitted his cover for this.Mkilly wrote:I did something like that <a href="http://glitterandtwang.org/songs/albums ... nazi/">one time</a>, but I just asked people to perform the songs.Caravan Ray wrote:I'd like a sidefight where everyone does songs from "The Jungle Book".
Man, you come up with some jems. Prima is a blast, indeed. I could do a Louis Prima sidefight, but I really can't swing, so it might be sad.kill_me_sarah wrote:Louis Prima's the bomb...
First, it's quality that matters to me. If I'm not satisfied with the way something is coming together or how it sounds at the deadline, I'm not afraid to pull the plug on it. And the titles either grab me or they don't. More often than not it's the latter.kill_me_sarah wrote:What do you participate in, anyway? I see 4 entries credited to you in the archive.

Sure, but think of all the time you could free up if you just cut out one extraneous activity from your daily routine...such as, I don't know, submitting posts to complain about everyone else's posts.Dan-O from Five-O wrote:First, it's quality that matters to me.

Second, and for the umpteenth time, I participate in my family. They're infinitely more important to me than making a deadline on a song. Someday, God forbid, you may have children of your own and I would hope you might feel the same way.
Thanks...you do realize my reference to Louis Prima was to point out the fact that he's King Louis in Jungle Book though, right?roymond wrote:Man, you come up with some jems. Prima is a blast, indeed. I could do a Louis Prima sidefight, but I really can't swing, so it might be sad.
I think it'd still be pretty creepy. You and Lindsay could do a duet though, that wouldn't be creepy at all...Mkilly wrote:Actually, you know what I was just thinking, was that The BeWells should step up and record it.
