I hope the deadline is 4/23/08 because that's the worst title ever.

kill_me_sarah cites Song Fight Excuse #3!

and also, you have not looked in the archives recently if you think this is the worst title ever.

What are excuses #1 and #2? Also... I wasn't really listing it as an excuse per se... I still intend to submit something.

Awesome, 12 days with two weekends to do this one! I just wish it wasn't such a sterile title, but, que sera sera, whatever will be, will be.

I'm going to make this one studio magnifico.

there are no sterile titles, there are only sterile songs.

This may well be the most easily abbreviatable title ever. With over sixty thousand titles in songfight!'s three centuries of existence, that is some accomplishment.

You can't beat Evan Is Getting His Teeth, which is abbreviatable to 1 character.

But that character is not particularly evocative of the full title! Oh well, it's still in the Top Ten; or so I hope.

You know, you are absolutely right. I'm going to bring germs to this fight that even other germs wash their hands after touching.

Awesome! I already have a song with this title! I knew it would happen someday...

Pre-existing songs are not eligible for submission to the current week's songfight, pursuant to the Songfight bylaws, Clause 5, Sub-Paragraph d.
For a full copy of the Songfight Bylaws, send $4.95 and a self-addressed stamped envelope to SF Bylaws, Pueblo, Colorado.

Also: I like this title, and I hope I come up with something for it.

i think i will join y'all in this fight.

i also think my song may be about googling songfight titles to come up with ideas for songfight titles that I have no idea what to do with

Hey State Shirt, I've heard some of your stuff and it's pretty good. I like "Don't Die"
Good work.

You'll have to talk to Maurice, my lawyer, about this. And I know what he'll say: Heh!
Heh! Heh! Heh!

(He laughs funny)

Oh yeah, I didn't notice that he's in "los fucking angeles" until now, cool.

Damn, I started writing something, hoping I could get a head start for a busy week, and just fit the title in, but it is not going to work at ALL.

However, that's a nice deadline, so I'll work on it. Maybe Pipefist can enter.

None right now, hopefully a few in May if I can make 'em happen!

Announcing that the song was not written for the title, but you "fit the title in" later pretty much guarantees you won't get my vote.
