Well I don't know where they come from
But they sure do come
I hope they're comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it
But they sure do it good
I hope they're doin' it for free

i'm a newbie, so here are some newbie questions:

- what does "optional challenge" mean?
- who makes up the song titles?

thanks.

1. Optional challenges present an idea that you can incorporate into your entry if you so choose. They are frequently vague and mysterious, so as to cause multiple interpretations amongst the entrants to that fight.

2. The song titles are determined by a mysterious individual whose identity the fightmasters refuse to reveal. We call him "Deep Throat".

True story. I'm in my ten minute break from CS534: Compiler construction, having listened to weeks worth of predictive parsing techniques and left/right recursions and derivations and such. Perhaps I'll write a song about yacc. And call it Half a Stone, of course.

Last semester I took Compiler Construction and I had to work really hard to keep myself from writing songs about implicit type-checking and assembly code generation for the Alpha architecture. To alleviate this urge I wrote all of my programming comments as rhyming couplets. My professor was not amused.

This means that if you already have a song called "Half a Stone" you should feel free to enter it.

That's what I thought it meant, which confused me. Then I noticed the SF Live UK thing, and all became right in my brain.

Damnit, after this health program that I watched last night the only thing I can think of for "Half a Stone" is about gallstones.

If someone writes a song about gallstones I'll love them forever.

Well, I feel obliged to get a studio version of the offical Songfight UK Live! WINNER into the fray. The 'best' of British shall be vexing 'Half a Stone' now with Added! Corrected Lyrical Content!

You guys say seven kilos, right?

It is a boy 'n' guitar song, and always will be - no fancy arrangements for me! in rehearsal, two people told me that my voice sounds good against a simple guitar. I did that song and lo! Beholdio! I won! however the same two people, who shall remain nameless, also compared me to Wreckless Eric.

Sooo, Masters of Grip, need bass and backing vocs?

Ha, that sounds like a wonderful idea - I think I will start to apply that to my professional life (environmental scientist/civil engineer),

Eg. Notes on construction drawings such as :
...koalas are in the Eucalyptus tereticornis trees,
don't squash the little bastards with your D9 bulldozers please

Christopher Isherwood wrote all his Medical finals in rhyming triplets. He didn't pass.

I am tempted by right/left or left/right or whatever.... seems like it's begging for a wagneresque metalized rammestein trip...

have to see how the weekend unfolds...

Well once again I've written a song that I may not get to enter. This time it's Left/Right and the probem is strep throat. Wish me luck.

you should record everything but the vocals and give it to Glenn or someone.
