Quotes from songfighters only, please. No Emmerson or Whitman here, please. Also, be sure to observe the "What's said in IRC stays in IRC" rule. Ask permission before quoting someone from IRC. Everything else is fair game.
Allow me to begin:
"Just because I can find people who like eating shit burritos doesn't mean that I'm cooking when I crap in a tortilla." - Erik

The very first song I submitted to SongFight prompted the following review from Richard Wreckdom:
"People usually play music for one of many reasons: They truly enjoy making music, They are arrogant, Money. Why do you do it? Figure out why you're doing it, and stab it in the chest."
Harsh, but definately fair - a very valuable review.
If nothing else, all of my subsequent songs have been better than that first one.

Ah, speaking of old reviews, I like this one:
Jon Eric: "Just because you're singing doesn't make this normal."
(With the removal of some weird characters: ’ and replacement with an apostrophe).

My favorite bad review (Blueberry Hassle):
JB: "I was gonna send a missille to your house to destroy every trace of this song, but Hoblit stopped me"

Uh, I guess that disqualifies me as a music dork cuz I don't get it. Cole Porter wrote a hell of a lot of songs. Assuming the joke was based on all his songs sounding the same, well they don't, so I don't get it that way either.
But I only actually
like about half a dozen Cole Porter songs, so maybe that's where it's going.... please explain.

Perhaps all Sober knows about CP is from De-Lovely.

"I like the synthesizer figures in the back. Music sounds kind of spooky for the subject matter the lyrics might indicate. This would be good as end credits for a horror movie, after the leads have escaped the hideous monster, and are on their way home, and at the last minute we see that the monster has attached itself to the bus. Fade to black as music continues." - Level Nivelo

I think there's a problem with a thread like this - it could be 'sound' bites of smart, witty or interesting things that people have said here. But instead it's degenerating (if 7/8 posts can constitute a degeneration) into 'hey here's something really cool I saif/was said about me' boasting.
The only way I can see around that is a gentleperson's agreement not to quote stuff here written either about or by yourself.
I know, I know, I'm just bitter because no-one has posted anything by me.

Johnny, I can't stand it when people quote themselves either or praise about. I just want to kick them off there goddamn pedestal.
But really, the point of this post was to say I agree.

Their mouths are saying the words: "great stuff, good job, you rock," and their eyes say: "turn it off or I will hit you with a blunt instrument." - Astrolamb.
