http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osz-GQbX ... re=related


Will fill these in eventually

Can supply mp3s upon request.

May have to replace #3, Mr Telek's wonderful song. Most of the lyrics are in Tok Pisin, and I haven't yet found a lyric sheet for it - so it may be a tad difficult to cover for non-Tok Pisin speakers.

I'm in. Song choices:

1 - Fire On the Mountain - Grateful Dead - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdO_CmfFKYE
2 - Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWsRz3TJDEY
3 - Gettin Jiggy With it - Will Smith - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ezIih6eLQ
4 - Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZrh64W184M

Have Fun!

I am in! I can't believe I missed last year. I need to think through some choices. Just got back from whirlwind tour of Europe. (Yerp!)

EDIT:

Here is the "Hometown Pride" edition of my choices for GOM:

"Carolina" -- M. Ward
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlIYkt2wrIE

"True Affection" -- The Blow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyWoZD5xfM8

"Hooray for Tuesday" -- The Minders
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AZJ4UzDBPc

"Blackout" -- Heatmiser
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgNMZbOi ... re=related

I want to be in.

I believe some of these song choices are ones I've used before, but they weren't the ones that got covered. So:

Lone Justice - Ways to be Wicked http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOCT5RDnJIY

Traditional - The House Carpenter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op9j7X5BPGw
The Shadows of Knight - I'm Gonna Make You Mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XZGAg41Qf0

OK, I can't think about it anymore, it will drive me crazy. Picks and links to mp3s:

John Vanderslice - Bill Gates Must Die

The Dandy Warhols - Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth

Kitchens of Distinction - The 3rd Time We Opened the Capsule

We Were Promised Jetpacks - Quiet Little Voices

Good turnout thus far.

I did a cover of one of your choices 2 years ago and never posted it because someone else jumped in first to un-shaft you that year..

It is on my old computer which I am about to clean up and sell. Will try to find it and slip an extra present in your stocking this year

...oh - and just want to mention that in amongst my usual collection of 60s, 70s and 80s Australian hits that I usually select for this - I actually have something current this year. "Washington" is a young girly from Brisbane who just won big in the local music awards. The "Rich Kids" I have selected is a very cool song - and she is quite cute with a cool video. I almost feel "hip" again. Almost.

I've updated my list as it will be me & Andy Balham in collaboration and it now reflects two of his choices as well as two of mine. back on page 1, future coverer!

Awesome. Do try to find it, I'd love to hear.

Hey guys, this is Graham; you may remember me from the various song writing contests you've beaten me in! I'm up for this (songs below). I'm a bit of a newb on the Song Fight boards, so I apologise if I missed some information somewhere or have committed some faux pas. What day are the artists paired up and who's judging this? Thanks for organising this!

Rhinestone Eyes [Gorillaz]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYDmaexVHic
Half Life I [Arcade Fire]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKhWeSEE9Rg
Butcher Baby[The Plasmatics] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS-m9NGgSvQ
Banana Phone [Raffi]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5C6X9vOEkU

Thanks for joining Graham. You have committed no faux pas. I haven't announced what day the pairings will occur (but it's coming next week). And there is no judging. It's a holiday celebration/secret santa type thing.

No judging except for the vote for the diabetes thing anyway, which (judging by 2009) won't actually happen until late 2011.
