The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Today, December the 8th marks the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's murder.

I will update the song entries in this post as they come in, and as I have time.

I think Ellis Paul's song <a href="http://www.ellispaul.com/index.php?page ... y=140">Who Killed John Lennon?</a> is a brilliant statement on the subject, and I uploaded <a href="http://glenncase.songhole.org/Lennon/wh ... on.mp3">my cover of it</a> this morning.

I encouraged anyone who wanted to, to cover a Lennon song, and post it here in this thread today. No assignments. Multiple occurances of the same song are fine. Here is the result in order of appearance:

Man, has it been 25 years already? My hand is in a cast right now but I'll try to enlist some help and make this happen. Great idea Glenn.

at the risk of sounding like a completely ridiculous idea, i'd be willing to mix up a songfighter version of "give peace a chance". i could create a simple 8 bar drum loop as a click track to synch to and post it, and if anyone wanted to they could rap a verse and sing a chorus and i'd mix it all up.

if people were interested. PM me.

I think a Lennon cover would be up the Kandagawa Hitmen's allley. I've just gotta get Aurora on board.

I'll rap

Or just play Oasis the whole time!

ok. if nothing else it's me and denyer!

I have the house to meself this weekend, I think I might do 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun'. Gotta test out my new recording rig and all.

[edit] Or maybe not.

I wish I had more time.

maybe 25 years from now.

Gimme a key Jack, I can do multiple harmonies on the chorus.

I'll be in that

it's in G i believe. i'll work up some loops and PM the links.

the more the merrier.

Count me in, then!

i might be in for this.

Count me in too, jack. And I have this empty cardboard box I've been dying to mic and beat on.

cool! we're up to like 6 now i think. we're a multi-national coalition for peace!

I just realised I don't know what we're doing. Are we doing a cover, or are we writing our own verses?

oh wait, i just reread the first post and saw that it has to be done by thursday. i definitely won't be able to do that.

write your own verses. use the old chorus.

Lightweight.

Send me a link to the loop. I'll see how many of the Octo gang I can get to give it a go...

hey, this is shaping up pretty good! i'm going to record the chorus loop tonight, and will send a link to those that have expressed interest so far.

it's not too late if anyone else wants to join either.
