The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Count me in, please! This really sounds like fun.

Penny Lane - Beatles
Trip through your Wires - U2
Supercollider - Tribe, http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6379054mSE64trR
Church of the Poison Mind - Boy George

Alright. I think this is how this is going to work.

LAST MINUTE DECISIONS

CHOSEN HASTILY AND WITHOUT THOUGHT


Turns out I have a couple of old songs. And a couple of newer songs. I tried to pick four songs that sound nothing alike so someone will perhaps like at least one of them.

Tom Waits - Ol' 55
Gary Numan - Are 'Friends' Electric?
The Killers - When You Were Young
Coldplay - Viva La Vida

AHAA there you go.

NOW I will get you some links to things just a bit later on.

These are great songs. I encourage everyone to work tirelessly producing as many covers of them as they possibly can.

In.

Songs.

Baby Come Back - Player
Every Little Step - Bobby Brown
Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
Bootylicious - Destiny's Child

Oh, and one request - if the cover could be in a style different from the original.

It would be crime to mess with Baby Come Back - Player. It is perfect just the way it is. The hair, the satiny shirts, the chorusy guitars. It doesn't get any better than that.

Damn.... missed the cutoff deadline again....
oh well.... maybe next year

It's the holidays, Messiah. I'm not gonna be a grinch. Get your choices in in a hurry,

Sweet...

OK in that case how about.

1 Zorro's Acsent - Alice Cooper
2 Runaway - Del Shannon
3 This Could Be Anywhere - Dead Kennedys
4 Trail of Tears - Dogs Damour*


I'll hunt down some links







*actually any Dogs song would rock, I dont care which




EDIT links added ... mostly

Great choice.

Seconded. Frankenchrist is one of my favorite albums ever.

I'm only allowing this since I just happen to be enjoying your cover of "Little Sadie" this week. Get your stuff in....now. Don't wait. Hurry. Fast as you can....

Ugh, alright alright okay fine.

Strike that and replace it with

The Smiths - Reel Around the Fountain

I just had someone randomly pick the pairings. PMs coming soon.

If you get someone that you have given a "gift of music" to before, tell me so I can make a switch.

OK lets go.



And whoever gets me - if the youtube stuff i posted isn't good enough - I can email mp3s, but I don't have any webspace at the moment to post links to. If you want mp3s emailed - maybe PM Niv and he could act as some sort of go-between (OK Niv?)

I'm excited! When's the due date?

I think I'm going to throw up...

HaHa! Dude, did you get that Bee Gee's song?

No, but I got 4 songs that are probably *way* beyond my capabilities to cover.

Enlist help. Call in the troops.

Grow a set.
I remember a song once that Adam did with boxes, rubber bands and I think an egg beater and it was awesome! From that day forward, I have never questioned his musical ingenuity, nor my lack of instruments.

The four songs I got are all new to me and all awesome.
