I'm a gigantic Residents fan of over 25 years. I'd be ALL OVER that. Why not organize it yourself?

Would Renaldo & the Loaf be included?

Oh yes. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Presidents. And I love Primus who love the Residents. I dig this song called "Tippi Toes" they did.

As the thread starter, Mr. Chucky it's your ball game. Set a date and whore the thing out.

Tippi Toes was the Meters. You're thinking of Sinister Exaggerator, also great.

Also: This would be a fun sidefight. I don't know a lot of Residents stuff, but I know a few POTUSA tunes, and wouldn't mind listening to more from either band.

Ah! I am bested. yes, you are more correct than I. But just as wicked a song, true.

I'm still thinkin' about it. I have a life outside of the songfight! world; and I blow at internet related stuff... Soooo first, anybody got webspace?

And yes, Renaldo and the Loaf would be included. But that's as far as we stray.

EightLeggedOedipus · Post by **EightLeggedOedipus** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 1:21 pm

I could probably host anyone who isn't so inclined.

chucky · Post by **chucky** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 1:23 pm

Okay, I gave it about five minutes of though and decided that I definitely want to do this... Provided that enough people are interested. Who's in?

Chucky, I am in and would love to help out with anything you need for this fight. Including hosting the fight page, voting, etc. when it comes to that.

Awexome.
Thanks.

This sounds much more fun than covering one of my own songs as suggested by another coverfight

I've not heard a lot of Residents - but I like what I've heard - and I'm always up for doing a POTUSA cover.

WeaselSlayer · Post by **WeaselSlayer** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 8:08 pm

My friends were just saying we needed to do "Bach is Dead." Good timing!

nicegeoff · Post by **nicegeoff** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 9:38 pm

yes!!!

count me in.

sausage boy · Post by **sausage boy** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 7:58 pm

I think anything involving the Residents could drag me from the hole I am in.

I am in.

It is so on like Donkey Kong.

Awesome. I'm gone for the next couple days, but sooner or later we shall see some action.

Noise Brigade · Post by **Noise Brigade** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 5:23 am

I would be up to doing this also.

chucky · Post by **chucky** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 5:58 am

Ok, well would one month be enough time? Like if I were to set the date for July 9th, 11th? around there..

Until that's decided. Everybody call a song.. Not that I much like that system but I don't want 20 Constantinoples and 20 Peacheses, or whatever.. Since this whole thing was my stroke of genius; I'll wait and pick mine after everybody else chooses.

roymond · Post by **roymond** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 6:15 am

End of July would be better for me.

I have to think about the song but something like Sinister Exaggerator appeals (I have to play the Snakefinger card)

WeaselSlayer · Post by **WeaselSlayer** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 12:48 pm

Can I call "Blue Rosebuds"?

nicegeoff · Post by **nicegeoff** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 3:30 pm

I call "spotted pinto bean"

blue · Post by **blue** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 4:06 pm

i call the kitty in my lap song.

FUCK YOU, KITTY.

sausage boy · Post by **sausage boy** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 4:24 pm

I'll have a listen to all my Residents songs and see which one I want to do.

What would the census be if someone mixed a Residents and a Presidents song together?
