And fits in nicely with Spud's choice - because Klaatu were actually the Beatles.

I was just reading about klaatu. What bunch of oddballs. It's weird that today they would probably be making techno, or black metal or something... And yet, in the 70's, super trippy folk rock about aliens was where it was at. I think the carpenters only covered the song because of that viral rumor that they were the Beatles. Pretty cool little tidbit of music history. Glad to be covering the song, I have a feeling it's going to sound nothing like it.

Klaatu were actually only 3 of the Beatles. Paul McCartney was of course dead before they came about.

I heard that zombie is getting married again... Didn't he learn from all his previous marriages except the first one?

Due by November 30? Hell, I'm in.

Time to start researching. I know the name "Carpenters," but no song jumps to mind. I'm sure 5 minutes of YouTube will have me head-slapping and going "oh! THOSE Carpenters!"

That, or the peanut gallery could suggest something you'd like to hear me cover/butcher/transmogrify.

"Top Of The World", please.

To roll up my sleeves and stretch my vocal chords : I'll take "(I'm Caught between) Goodbye & I Love You."

At least I have an idea for what direction I'll take it.

Just to clarify, I shall indeed do something to "We've Only Just Begun". Oh, ain't that the truth?

jack · Post by **jack** » Wed Nov 02, 2011 10:03 am

As Paco has cryptically alluded to, I'm sending "interested parties" PMs today.

This side fight is open for business!

jack · Post by **jack** » Thu Nov 03, 2011 1:36 pm

Everyone that previously posted something in this thread should have gotten a PM with details. I've heard back from most of you so thanks!

Anyone that still wants to can still participate. Just shoot me a PM or post something here saying you're interested.
