it took me awhile, but searching through the old dumbrella forums i found the old links..
theres actually 2 .pdf files, the original rules, and then the revise version, as people kept changing their minds.

hope it helps, but i doubt you'll get anything out of it.
Defintely clears up the issue for me. You don't happen to drive a Mercedes do you?

I post this only because I'm hoping someone else can relate. I wasn't going to fight this week because last week (my first fight) swallowed
WAY more time than I expected (and some of it was from real work). Plus, I'm in Mexico this week on business and don't have Cakewalk or any of my guitars. Well, as it turns out ... one of the titles (Tank Top) grabbed my attention and I've been writing lyrics, and am surprisingly pleased with them. At first I thought I'd collab and offer them to some interested uninspired soul ... then I decided I'd try to record everything on Saturday and Sunday after I fly home. I've even thought about finding a music store and buying another guitar, haha. Looks like another frantic weekend
Songfight rocks!

Hey Tentativious,
That was (is?) my first fight last week too. Next weeks songs aren't due till Wednesday, if that buys you a little time.

Kudos to Deep Throat for the Yellow Snow title. I needed that chuckle tonight.

Ok, I'm in. I've been mucking around again with beats and stuff, so prepare for something unusual. And by unusual, that means shithouse.
I'm in

There will be a man speaking German in my entry this week.

I'm very disappointed that I will be too busy to enter in Man Speaking German. I'm taking first-year German, and would really like to do it. Maybe I'll enter the Lyricmart.

Hey...
what does "K" stand for? Shouldn't it be something like "B," for black, or "L" for liquorice...?
Just wondering...

The following link supports the theory that K is from the last letter in Black.

There's a few theories on this... The one I believe most is that K stands for Key (as in keylines, or key plate). Around the time the K originated, publication printers were printing separations with process red and process blue, which are close to cyan and magenta, but a little more beefy to enable better spot color printing, while still achieving acceptable full-color renderings. The K was introduced to save the printer from the mistake of thinking Blue when mounting the plates.
Another (and probably the only other printing related tidbit). The phrase "mind your p's and q's" comes from the old days of hand set type, which was mirror-reverse and easy to mix up the p's and q's.
I'm so ready to rock Turn the Power On.

I heard somewhere that someone was entering a 7/8 track for TTPO.

Ants (Invisible) this week is an instrumental. "Man Speaking German". I was thinking about German, then German music, then I decided to try my hand at something. I could have added vocals to make it "legal", but the piece had a will of its own and that did not include vocals.
So, crap-for-submitting-an-instrumental hereby acknowledged in advance.
Oh, and can't WAIT to hear your song, Tentativious!

Ah good, one less to consider for a vote then... I'll still listen and (potentially) enjoy - hey, I even voted for you this week, but could you have not picked a less 'don't you dare enter an instrumental' title than one that features the word 'speaking' in it? Even ironically, that starts up the cashpoint unremitting-pursuit-of-foible-infringers machine (tm)
Just thought I'd get in early. Thanks for the heads-up.

Hmmm. didn't think of that. Maybe it should be Tank Top instead.

Some people already think that any instrumental could be recycled for any title: to actually admit that you are doing so actively turns listeners against people who make instrumentals that invoke their given title.
You've already admitted you wrote the song for the title "Man Speaking German". Please don't submit it for another title.
