The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Here's a demo of an entry. If anyone wants to do full music with this same groove, then let's collab via PM!

The song is a cover of Jolly Roger's "Glutton". I barely modified the lyrics as shown below. I sang along with his tune, then I waited a minute (to let my mind settle a bit), then created a new melody based on his melody and wrote the new guitar part (besides, I wouldn't have been able to figure out, least play the guitar part; too much movement for me!). One additional experiment I performed here was using the capo at the 5th fret (ooooo, daring!).

Anyways, here is the original Jolly Roger version:

And here is my re-interpretation (bruises and all!):

I am ready for the tomatoes to fly!

all chords relative to capo at 5th (I think they are right, but maybe not!)

It's always cool to have somebody do you the honour of covering your songs. Thank you. It's interesting how you changed the guitar and vocal tune, but I can still see the original song under the new one.

Schweet! That's all I could hope for.

Hey Phil I've checked the lyric archive, do you have your lyrics for 'Livin' at the Corner of Dude and Catastrophe' I fancy having a go at that 'un (actually I've already started, and as we're on strike tomorrow, It'll give me some time to crack on with it!).

Cheers

If you're talking about the one posted now, that's not the first. If so, then never mind, lol
I thought Ross Durand got that honor first.

Yeah, well, I got 10 votes on that. no duck there.

Ah, didn't take the dux into account. Blue was right on Dre's tune then.

Wish I'd won that, though. I was proud of my song.

PWNED.

I like the FM pick thing. It would be cool to have a panel, like Nur Ein, to make a pick each fight with the Fight Masters. Or have an FM's pick and a panel pick. The panel should be anyone from Steve Durand to Rat Poison.

Also I couldn't decide how to cover it so I did both; so, Those Meddling Kids & Carpetburn presents the song Michael Keaton dreads hearing.....'Glutton' by Denyer.

hip-hop

indie-rock

you are excellent (twice). this is the worst song I have ever done so I don't know why you would cover it but it is interesting.
